ConfusedAtHome Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I have been broken up with this woman for a few months. I regret the breakup, she moved on quickly and I have been devastated that we are no longer together. We recently corresponded through email due to a health issue of mine. And I am telling her in an email to call me when she is ready, but how should I end the email? "Until then..." ?
georgia girl Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Speaking from a woman's point of view, what I'd really like to hear is... "You know, you may not want to hear this, but I really regret that we broke up. I made a mistake and I know you've moved on. I respect that and I'm happy for you. However, if you can ever forgive an idiot like me and would consider giving me a second chance, I'd take you up on it in a heartbeat. However, if that's not in the cards for us, thanks for still being my friend. I appreciate it." Just me... and right now I would give a kidney for my ex to say something like that so you may be best advised to find someone else's advice!
LovesHangover Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Express how you truly feel! What is the worst that can happen? If she says no, it only means that nothing has changed about the situation. However, you will have peace of mind and no regrets. We all make mistakes, and you can deal with it. Be straight - honest - in your communication. To do otherwise will not get you the answer you seek!
darknightie Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 How about, "Hope to hear from you soon, [your name]"
whichwayisup Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Speak from your heart, be honest and see how she responds. As for the ending of your email, either what DN has put down "hope to hear from you soon", or "talk to you soon".
Angel1111 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 "You know, you may not want to hear this, but I really regret that we broke up. I made a mistake and I know you've moved on. I respect that and I'm happy for you. However, if you can ever forgive an idiot like me and would consider giving me a second chance, I'd take you up on it in a heartbeat. However, if that's not in the cards for us, thanks for still being my friend. I appreciate it." I think the above paragraph is perfect. As far as what you're going to write, I personally wouldn't like a guy putting the ball in my court to call him - not even with the 'whenever you're ready' comment. It's like a huge bubble hanging in the air that's never resolved until I make the call. You need to say what you feel and leave it open for her to either answer or not. I'm sorry you're sad. I hope things work out.
whichwayisup Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 AAww confused..I just realized who you were.. Why do you want to be back intouch with her? Remember WHY you two broke up. Anyway if you need to do this, maybe it will bring some closure for you, but just be careful and shield your heart, last thing you want to deal with is her giving you more pain and heartache. Hugs..
getbackwithex Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Call her. I know email is easiest, but hearing your voice will be better. I know it can be difficult to keep the emotions in check, but you should call her and simply ask if the two of you can meet up for coffee or something, nothing else. I went through the same thing, emailed my ex, spilled the beans and it felt good and safe, but I should have told her how I felt in person. You'll be a bigger man for it. If she doesn't respond or call back, then send her the email.
