Saying sorry: the most beautiful texts and ways to apologise

Sometimes we hurt the very people closest to us. Would you like to apologise to your partner? A kind and sincere message can help to ease the situation. For example:

 

‘Sorry darling, I'm really sorry. You mean everything to me and I want nothing more than to make it up to you.’

‘I know I was wrong and that my words or actions have hurt you. You deserve nothing but love and respect. I am truly sorry, my love. I hope you can forgive me.’

‘I should never have reacted that way. I value you enormously and hope you will accept my apologies.’

‘You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and the last thing I want to do is hurt you. I'm sorry.’

 

An extra gesture, such as a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a card, can make your apology even more powerful.

Sometimes a quote can express exactly what you yourself cannot put into words. Here are a few beautiful quotes about saying sorry and forgiveness:

Not sure how to formulate your apology? Here are some sample sentences you can use:

‘I realise I was wrong, and I would like to make it up to you.’

‘I'm sorry if I hurt you. I didn't mean to.’

‘I take full responsibility for my words and actions. I'm sorry.’

Sometimes a simple ‘I'm sorry’ is not enough and you want to show that you really understand what you did wrong. A short, personal message can mean a lot:

‘I'm sorry I hurt you. I now realise how my words have hurt you.’

‘You deserve better, and I promise to learn from my mistakes. Please forgive me.’

'I really appreciate you and I hate the idea that I have caused you pain. I'm sorry.’

‘I wasn't myself and reacted stupidly. I want to make up for that.’

‘I miss you and want nothing more than to make this up to you. Can we talk?’
