Expressing how sorry we are can be difficult for many reasons, but if you’re trying to find the perfect words to show him how you feel, then these apologizing love messages will hopefully help you get moving in the right direction. One of the most important things about apologizing to a boyfriend or husband is that we have to own up and acknowledge what we’ve done and also be clear that we hope to make things right. Everyone messes up sometimes, it’s what we do in the aftermath that really counts.

It can be helpful to be specific when you’re apologizing to your boyfriend or husband, ie “I’m really sorry that ___” so that he can really feel that you understand why they’re hurt and upset. If you don’t mind a long sorry message for him, try being specific in how you hope to make it better, too. Apologies are tough, but if you commit to sending sorry messages for him that show him you know why he’s upset and you hope to be able to make it better, you’ll be well on your way to working through the situation you find yourself in. Hopefully, these apology messages for him help you get to that point.
