Think I might send:
Dear XXX,
I'm writing this to you after taking some time apart and being able to gain a new perspective of the way things unfolded between us. I will be the first to admit that towards the end of our relationship I acted in ways that I shouldn't have and I made mistakes. The expression 'it takes years to build trust and seconds to lose it' couldn't have more truth to it. I acted in a way that questioned the trust in our relationship and that wasn't fair to you. I know I made mistakes but I hope you understand the reasons behind it, I am not justifying the behaviors at all but merely explaining how it got to that place. I felt there was distance between us and a lack of communication on both our parts. This caused me to question my trust for you and caused me to act out of character and in turn that jeopardized your trust for me. Since our break up, I spent a few days reflecting on my own actions, the things I could have controlled and done differently, I shouldn't have taken our relationship out of the boundaries of just you and me. Truth be told, I didn't know exactly what was going on and presumed the worst. With that being said I truly feel that if we can improve our communication and our openness with one another we could both gain this trust back and be stronger for it if we ever do reach a place of that caliber again.
I know you very well, and I know that when you make a decision, in your head that decision is likely final. You may think a certain way towards me right now but I just ask that you take these things I'm saying to you and really think about them. The truth is that I love you very much even if my actions did not show that to you. Everything aside, you were my best friend and regardless of anything I will always support you and respect you. If nothing else I at least want to express these things so we can both move forward without negative feelings towards each other. Letting you in was something that meant so much to me and I will always cherish that.
I have already told you. You are not in a position now to write a letter. And in the LAST private message I sent you, the contents of a letter would be more of wishing well and letting go, if you still feel the need to do it. Forget all the above you wrote. This is why she dumped you, which was long overdue. She will not give a fuck about your letter, it will just boost her ego and feel that she still has control over you. Now stop sending private messages to all of us and for once do as you are adviced. Tell us how you feel after 30 days of No contact. Then 60 days. At 90 days the pain will go.
