Letting Go Letter To Ex Boyfriend
Dear [EX BOYFRIEND NAME],
I’m writing this letter to you to let you know that I have finally let go of the past and accepted your decision. I feel a lot better now that I have done that, but I also wanted to tell you why it took so long for me to do so.
I was hurt when you broke up with me because of our differences, but I understood. You said it was a mistake for us to even date, and maybe it was. The thing is though, I didn’t see it as a mistake at first. It took some time for me to realize that maybe we weren’t meant to be together after all. Maybe we weren’t meant to be together from the start. But then again, maybe we were…
It’s hard for me not having anything left between us anymore because we used to be so close and everything seemed perfect in the beginning of our relationship… We were so happy together back then… And then one day things just changed…
[EX BOYFRIEND NAME], if there’s anything I can do for you right now in order for us both to move on with our lives without feeling guilty about what happened between us, please let me know what it is. Goodbye!
Dear (ex) Boyfriend,
I’m writing this letter because I need to let go of you. It’s been over three months since we broke up, and I think it’s time for me to accept that we’re done. We’ve both moved on from each other and I’m sure you’ll find someone else who makes you happy.
I want you to know that I will always cherish the memories we shared together. You were my first boyfriend, first kiss and first love. You were there for me when no one else was around. When I needed someone to talk to, you were there for me every single time. Even though we didn’t make it in the end, I still want you to know how much you mean to me and always will.
You taught me so many things about myself: how strong I can be when times get tough; how much kindness is really out there; how important it is not to give up on others — or yourself — even when everything seems lost; how important it is to have faith in people even if they break your heart a million times over again; how beautiful life can be when you open up your eyes and take a look around at everything that surrounds us everyday. Thank you for everything.
Dear [ex boyfriend’s name],
I’m writing this letter to thank you for the last few years of our relationship. I know that these past few months have been very difficult for both of us and I’m really sorry for that. I want to let you know that this break up is not because I don’t love you anymore or because I don’t care about your feelings anymore. It’s just that I need some time on my own to figure out what went wrong in our relationship and how we can fix it in order to make it work again.
It might be hard for you but trust me, this is not forever. You will always be a special part of my life and we will always be friends no matter what happens between us.
I hope this letter finds you well and happy wherever you are right now!
Sincerely
[YOUR NAME]
Dear,
I’m finally letting go of you. It may be hard to believe, but I have moved on. It’s been a few years now since we broke up and I’ve finally reached the point where I can accept that our relationship wasn’t meant to last forever.
I don’t know what happened between us but I think it’s time for us to move on with our lives. We were happy together at one point in time, but life has changed a lot since then and I need someone who is willing to put in the effort for our relationship. You were never able to commit yourself fully to me and that was something that hurt me deeply.
I know that we had good times together, but the bad ones outweighed them by far. We argued about everything from what movie we were going to see at the theater to who was going to cook dinner for our family on Friday nights. I thought we could work through these problems but it seems like we weren’t meant for each other after all.
I’m sorry that things didn’t work out between us but it’s time for both of us to move forward with our lives separately and try new things before making any future commitments.
Dear,
I’m writing this letter to you, to let you know that I’m letting go.
I’m letting go of all the feelings and emotions that I have had for you for the past three years.
I’m letting go of my hopes that we would be together again someday, or even just friends.
I’m letting go of all the love that I still have for you.
And I’m letting go of all the pain and heartbreak that has come from our break up.
I want to tell you how much I appreciate everything that we have gone through together, even though it wasn’t easy at times. I want to thank you for being there for me when no one else was around or when things got tough for me. I want to thank you for being my best friend and listening to me when no one else wanted to listen or care about what was going on in my life at the time.

Dear [name],
I am writing this letter to you to let you know that I am letting go of the feelings that I have for you.
I am letting go of the hopes and desires that I once had for our relationship.
It is time for me to move on and find someone who will treat me the way that I deserve and want to be treated.
I don’t want to waste any more time on you or waiting for you to change your mind about us ever getting back together again.
You may be able to convince yourself that things can still work out between us, but it is not true.
I know now that there is nothing left for us and we are better off as friends rather than lovers anymore.
Dear [ex boyfriend’s name],
I’m writing to you because I feel like we need to have a serious talk. I’ve been feeling really sad lately, and I think it’s time that we had a serious talk about our relationship.
I know you’ve been seeing your ex-girlfriend again recently, but I guess that didn’t work out. She was telling me how unhappy she was in her relationship with her boyfriend and how much happier she was when she was with you. You guys were so happy together! I’m so sorry that things didn’t work out between us, but I hope that if there’s one thing you can take away from this experience, it’s that you should never stop believing in love or romance. Don’t let this break up ruin your faith in love!
Dear [ex boyfriend],
I’m writing this letter to you because I want to let go. I want to move on and find my happiness. It’s not your fault that we got separated, but it was also not my choice. It happened because of a lot of reasons and you don’t have to be guilty about it.
You know what? You are doing the right thing by letting go of me. You are trying to find happiness in your life and that is what matters most right now. I just wanted to tell you that I am happy for you and I hope that you find the one who is meant for you.
I know it will be hard for some time because we were together for 6 months and I know it might take some time until you get over me completely, but please don’t make yourself suffer anymore than necessary because there will be a day when we won’t even remember each other anymore!
I loved being with you and spending time with you but I know that we both need different things from each other at this point in our lives so maybe it wasn’t meant to be after all? Who knows? But all I know is that we should move on now instead of wasting any more time being together.
Dear ex boyfriend,
I’m writing this letter to thank you for what you’ve done for me. You have been my best friend, my lover, and my everything. I know it was hard for you when I told you that I wanted to break up with you. But I knew it was the right thing to do because I was hurting both of us more than helping us.
It’s been six months since we broke up and I realized that I don’t need you anymore. The reason why I kept thinking about you is because I failed to let go of all the memories that we had together. But now that I think about it, those are all just memories – nothing more than just a story in our lives.
I want to thank you for teaching me how to love again after being broken by someone else in the past. But now, I think it’s time for me to move on because I don’t want our relationship affecting my other relationships with other people, especially my friends and family members who have been there for me during this time.
Dear [ex boyfriend],
I’m writing to you because I need to let go of our relationship. It’s been a long time coming, but it’s time for me to move on and start a new chapter in my life.
Letting go is never easy, but the fact that we’re no longer together doesn’t mean that we can’t be friends. I know that when you read this letter you’ll be upset, but please try not to take it personally. I’m not mad at you; I’m just ready for something different in my life.
[If there was a specific reason why you broke up, include it here]
I hope that someday we will both be able to look back on our relationship fondly — and maybe even laugh about some of the mistakes we made along the way.
Dear ex boyfriend,
I hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter to let you know that I have finally realized that I need to let go of the past and move on with my life.
It has been a long time since we broke up and I still miss you sometimes but at the same time I know it’s for the best and that we are not meant to be together.
I wish you all the best in life and hope that you find happiness someday.
Dear ex boyfriend,
It has been a few months since we’ve spoken and I wanted to write you this letter. I know that you have moved on and have been seeing someone else, but I just wanted to let you know that I have too.
I’m sorry if I hurt you in any way, but I think it’s better that we move on. We were not meant to be together and we both knew it, so why prolong the inevitable? I hope that you find happiness someday with someone who is right for you.
I wish you all the best in life,
Your ex girlfriend
