Apology Messages for BF You Can Copy and Paste
By Sarthak Gupta · Updated
"I was wrong, and I hate that I hurt you." Sometimes the first line is the hardest part, so these texts start there: short ones for a small fight, deeper ones for when you really hurt him, and longer paragraphs for after a big argument. Each one names what went wrong and takes the blame without a "but." Copy one as it is, or swap in the exact thing you did so it sounds like you.
