    We were together 3 years. She broke up with me 2 months ago because I took her for granted and got complacent in the last half year. I was selfish. I made the mistake of thinking she would always be there. Sometimes I talked condensending to her and just chose what I wanted to do over her suggestions and she had had enough.

    I begged and pleaded but then went hardcore No contact. A month later..

    She texted me a week ago “Hey. I wanted to apologize to you and any ill feelings you might have towards me. I should have given you more of a chance to talk and I’m sorry. I hope you have a good senior year and you make the best of It”

    I responded a day later “Hey, thanks for reaching out. There are no ill feelings because I know I did some hurtful things too. I need to apologize as well because I know I was not the best partner and I now recognize where I failed. I did not mean to hurt you in the ways that I did. Hope everything is going good.”

    Was this a good response if I want her to continue to think about me in hopes of reconciliation? I felt it was mature and selfless. But I can also see how it relieved her dumpers guilt and could help her move on more. She has not replied and it’s been a week.. Do you see her ever reaching out again?

    @Cchance11 – Your response was very good. Nobody knows if she will reach out again. But if you get a chance to talk with her, let her know in what ways you mistreated her. Taking for granted=how? Being selfish in that you chose to do things you wanted to do rather than alternating. And maybe the most important of all, talking down to her (which is disrespectful and hurtful). You have to vow never to treat her badly again. Maybe 2 months is not long enough for her to actually recover from the things you did and said and the hurt feeling you caused her. Give it time and good luck.

    Your post was 10 days ago but I want to say that your response was really good. It is up to her from there.
