Genuine, heartfelt apologies and acceptance of each other’s faults strengthen relationships. However, these apologies should be made before time runs out and wounds heal on their own. If you have knowingly or unknowingly hurt your boyfriend, here are a few samples of apology letters you can use to make it up to him.
We all know that relationships grow not only because of the good times a couple shares, but also because of the numerous fights they have and the lessons they learn from them. A few quarrels are a part of every relationship. However, what really maintains the harmony after a fight, is acceptance of the wrongdoing by a partner.
It may be you, it may be him. In this case, you’ve broken his heart and you need to make it up to him. If you’re embarrassed to meet him and talk things out or if he isn’t willing to see you right now, writing a letter to express your thoughts at the moment is a good idea. However, saying something before the moment passes is important.
Sample Apology Letters to Boyfriend
We all know that a couple can fight and argue about many things, isn’t it? It would be thus impossible to address all those in one single letter. Here are three sweet apology letters you can send to your boyfriend. Depending on what suits best with your situation, you can select one.
Sample #1
Dear ____,
They say that the perfection of some relationships lies in its imperfections. Without our ups and downs, we wouldn’t be where we are today. You know how I feel about you better than I do. You know you’re my strength, but what you don’t know, is that you’re also my weakness. I don’t like people taking you for granted, and sometimes I don’t like the misconceptions they have about you. What I don’t like even more, is discussing these misconceptions in public. Though you may already know this, I thought I should start this letter from the problem itself.
My rude remarks towards your friends in yesterday’s party, were uncalled for. I am sorry I behaved in this particular manner and that somewhere, I embarrassed both of us. Maybe I read more than I should have into what was being said. Whatever maybe the circumstance, I agree those words were completely unnecessary and uncivil. I am really, genuinely sorry about what happened and I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Please give me a chance to make it up to you in person. Let’s put this incident behind us and look at better things in the future.
Love,

Sample #2
Dear ____,
I know you are more hurt than angry. Trust me, it was never my intention. Sometimes, things are complicated. The only way they can be made simple, is by ignorance. It was never by intention to lie to you, I never have had to. And you know this. In all these years, we’ve shared our deepest feelings, our most complex emotions. Why then would I not tell you something so naive? Yes, I did like John. However, this was before you came into my life. It wasn’t something worth discussing because I never told John about it, and in just a few days, you had me fall head over heels for you. I still could have told you about it, but you and John being friends just complicated the whole thing.
I’m sorry you had to know about this in these circumstances. I can completely understand how it must have been for you to get to know about this in front of so many people. It isn’t their fault either, I’m sure they thought you knew.
All I want to say is I’m sorry, and trust me, this apology means a lot to me. I don’t know why I can’t do this in person. Maybe I’m a coward, maybe I’m just bad at confrontation. However, whether in person or through this letter, it is important that my apology reaches you.
I love you, more than what both of us know. I’m sure our love is stronger than the troubles that are a part of it. Whenever you’re ready, let’s talk it out and give this relationship one more chance. We both deserve it.
Love,
_______
Sample #3
Dear _____,
I don’t know where I should start this letter, and how I should word my apology to make you believe the guilt I’m dealing with right now. Whatever happened yesterday, was the stupidest thing any girl would do. I had just lost control over what I was saying. Now that I think of what happened, it’s really something I feel horrible about.
I don’t mind Sally calling and texting you every now and then. She’s one of your oldest friends, and you’ll have a relationship beyond the one you have with me. What disturbs me, is the constant disturbance it causes during some of our most intimate moments. What I want you to realize, is that these moments are never coming back. These moments are later going to turn into memories. It is very important that we make more memories to cherish than regret.
However, instead of talking it out with you, I lost all my cool and created a drama. I’m sorry to have put us both through this. It’s not only embarrassing but also hurtful. Somewhere, in the things I said, I showed a little distrust. And for this, I’m more angry at myself than you are. I’ve disappointed you and myself.
Please forgive me for the things I said, for the things I believed and the things I ended up doing. Give me a chance to do something that will help erase this incident from our life together. My love for you is and will always remain unconditional.
Love,
