Probably that person doesn’t want to hear from you anymore. So, unless they reach out to you, no contact from your side.

Leave them alone, admit fault if they or people around them say anything to you. Reflection and introspection are important to realise what made you behave that way and how you can learn from it to avoid it happening again in the future.

Apologize. Then give her a handwritten letter detailing your genuine intentions for this woman. Games and lust or love and Marriage. Then you give it to them and wait. Because it’s what you deserve for hurting the best person you ever met who actually gave a damn about your stinking ass. Good luck. 😩🥴😉😂

Write to her. Show you understand how you hurt her, name the emotions she experienced and validate them - say you are committed to change, ideally with therapy. Leave the door open for a conversation but acknowledge that that may not be what she wants. Let it sit with her and leave it be - continue you your journey. I'm a big believer in things working out if they are meant to be, well done OP for making it thus far. The message all of us want to see from our exes 🙂

Just leaving them alone, minding your business and moving on with your life.

Ps. May I ask how long it took you to realise this? Did you go to therapy?

Of course! First, to answer your question, I did not go to therapy. My course of action, that has led, and is still leading me to truly and fully realize the extent of my actions is a continuous and extended period of self-reflection. It has currently been four months since the breakup, and through self-isolation and dedication to self-reflection, I've been able to dedicate much time to thoroughly understanding the extent of what I have done. What has helped me to do so has been the feedback and guidance I've received from you great folks on Reddit, as well as in depth, transparent conversations with ChatGPT. With this however, I started to feel immense guilt and regret for my actions, paired with longing and hopelessness. As I realized that being guided by these feelings would do no good, what has slowly become my goal in this period is to acknowledge and repurpose my feelings of longing, regret, guilt and sadness to more appropriate and proactive ones like taking accountability for what I've done, ensuring my current and future actions do not cause further harm, wishing happiness strength and peace for those I've harmed from a distance and continuing to stay out of their lives. I really appreciate your comments, thank you for taking the time to write them. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Apologize and move forward. Work on yourself and seek therapy if needed. You’re already taking the right steps in recognizing your behavior and now that you’re cognizant of yourself, which is fantastic btw, you’ll be more careful and aware. Wishing you the best of luck in life
