1. I am so sorry for how things ended

If you were the one on the wrong, it is good to say this to show that you acknowledge your mistake.

2. I am sorry for how I said things when we were breaking up

When people are breaking up, it is usually a tense moment where people tend to say hurtful things that they did not mean. Hence, it is important to apologise to your ex if you happened to insult or offend them. This will show your ex that you are a mature person who is able to own up to their mistakes.

3. You did not deserve the things that I put you through when we were together

To prove that you are truly sorry, you can also say this. Saying this makes your ex know that you are working on becoming a better person and you didn't mean to hurt them.

4. I hope you find someone who makes you happy

Instead of saying negative things to your ex, it is better to wish him/ her well in their future relationships. Acknowledge that you both deserve to be happy even though things didn't work out between you. Thank your ex for the good memories you shared together.

5. Thank you for being honest about how you feel

Though the breakup might leave you with a broken heart, thank your ex for being honest about his/ her feelings. It is better to break up than stay in a relationship with someone who doesn't love you anymore. The breakup will allow you to meet someone who truly loves you.
