Hhhh Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Is that something someone should do? Via text? If they acted immaturely during the breakup (getting angry, getting rude, guilting) i suggested it to a friend but want second opinion on the matter it's been 2 weeks Has no intentions on getting her back but doesn't want to spoil her memory of him
Nkognito Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Text is quite cowardly for an apology. As for the entire story, it might help to know because if there was any name calling or severe guilt tripping, then time might be a big factor. Text, letter, post card, strip-o-gram is not the way to apologize. You have to let them hear the voice, the tone and the emotion behind it to respect it truthfully.

She's not answering his calls he wants to open conversation and if she's not responsive to the initial text he will get send apology text mentioning he rather speak to her
Don Ho Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Has no intentions on getting her back but doesn't want to spoil her memory of him That's silly. Tell him to leave it alone and move on. Waste of time.
Billie The Puppet Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Leave it be, that time has past and an ex won't care, plus apologizing is part of the post break up mistakes many people make especially those that do not know how to apologize.
SadGirl23 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Has no intentions on getting her back but doesn't want to spoil her memory of him Tell your friend he is a piece of shyt for being so inconsiderate of other's feelings by using the word "sorry" which is a poor excuse. So, somebody punches the crap out of you, then says "Hey, sorry! I didn't mean to punch you!" Do you think a low down, sorry pathetic apology would make her feel any better? Come on man, it's 2010.. get with the program, better be glad she didn't come breaking down windows, walls, and doors. Leave her alone..the only time he should be apologizing is if he wants her back.
Nkognito Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 That's silly. Tell him to leave it alone and move on. Waste of time. ^ Quoted for truth.
Audieme Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 She's not answering his calls, this means she's not ready for communication. Respect this. He wants to apologize? This will have to come later down the road, only if/when she's ready to receive it. Let her be for now. He has one opportunity for a genuine apology, don't muck it up now. Wait for the right time.
Audieme Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Has no intentions on getting her back but doesn't want to spoil her memory of him Just reread this part...does he want to apologize because he truly feels sorry OR is this purely for selfish reasons on his part for the sole purpose of making sure she remembers him in a good light? If it's for the latter, she'll see right through it.
livelife Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Personal experience: I have acted crappy towards my ex before, and each time I did, I apologied via text even when it was clear me and him were totally done. He appreciated it each time. There was one time I tried to say it over the phone, but he was taking a nap, so I just sent it in text message. If he wants to and if he means it like I did, Sure go for it. It won't hurt.
livelife Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 It will make him feel better and it wont be eating at him if he keeps thinking about it.
