I'm sorry

A spoken-word letter written from the perspective of an avoidant ex apologizing for the silence, distance, and emotional unavailability they could never express directly.

Key points

  • The avoidant admits they pulled away and gave silence when the partner wanted closeness and connection.
  • They acknowledge leaving the partner doubting their own worth, and clarify the walls were built long before the relationship -- not in response to the partner.
  • Distance and silence were chosen because intimacy felt like drowning, not because of indifference.
  • The letter closes: "It wasn't your fault. It wasn't because you weren't enough."
