Sweet break up messages for girlfriend 🍬

You’ve been my guiding light for the past months, and I can’t thank you enough for everything that you’ve done. I believe that now is the time for me to grow on my own and so I hope you understand why I’m asking to break up. I pray that you find love and joy in everything you do.

Serious break up messages for girlfriend 😔

Hey, I’m sorry to be doing this over text but I think we should go our separate ways. We haven’t seen eye-to-eye recently and given that we haven’t reached a compromise, it’s not healthy for us to go on like this. Thank you for everything.

Nice break up messages for girlfriend 🧢

It’s been an awesome two years but I know that I’ve hurt you quite deeply so I’m letting you go. You deserve the love and peace that I’m unable to give you now. I’m sorry and I hope that you remember how you are always loved by a lot of people.

You were my best friend and my partner, and it hurts me to say this but I believe that it’s best for us to break up. We need time to grow separately so that we can reach our dreams.

Goodbye break up messages for girlfriend 🚢

I guess this is goodbye. We’ve been trying to fix what we have to no avail, so I think we should start to move on. Thank you for all the fond memories I will surely treasure. Maybe someday, when we see each other again, we’ll be different people and we can start over again.

Sad break up messages for girlfriend 🥺

You lifted me when I was at my lowest, and for that I will forever be grateful.

We both deserve a relationship that gives us comfort and this one isn’t it. Thank you for everything, and goodbye.

Thank you for all the early-morning park jogs and late-night movie dates. I don’t think my life will ever be the same, but I still believe that this is for the best. We can’t go on knowing that our love isn’t the same anymore, so I’m letting you go. You’ll always be a part of me.

Dear Tatiana, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to talk about something that has been weighing on my mind for quite some time now. Over the past few months it has become evident that our relationship has hit a rough patch and despite our best efforts we haven't been able to find common ground or see eye to eye. It isn't easy for me to say this but I believe it's time for us to go our separate ways and follow our own paths. I truly cherish the time we've spent together and the memories we've created but it's apparent that we have grown apart. It wouldn't be fair to either of us to continue a relationship where we don't feel genuinely connected. Take care of yourself Tatiana and I genuinely hope that our paths will cross again whether it be as friends or simply in passing. Thank you for all the beautiful moments we shared and I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. - Sincerely, Julia

Heather, we've had some wonderful moments together during our nearly year-long relationship but I can no longer ignore the glaring differences that lie between us. It pains me to say this but I don't believe we are meant to be together any longer. We have tried to bridge the gaps but the divide only seems to grow wider with time. It is unfair to both of us to continue in a relationship that lacks the fundamental compatibility necessary for its success. Please understand that this decision is not a reflection of your worth or character. You are an incredible person Heather and I cherish the moments we have shared. I genuinely believe that this break-up will ultimately lead us to find the happiness we both deserve with more suitable partners. Perhaps in time we can even remain friends. But for now please know that I am making this decision with a heavy heart believing it is what is best for both of us. Take care of yourself Heather. - Sincerely, Ryan

Dear Juniper, these past few weeks have been arduous for me as I have endured a pain that I never anticipated would come from you. I recall moments when we laugh together, but now the only thing I feel is sadness when I am with you. Something has shifted within you and I struggle to comprehend the reasons behind this change. My heart aches as I admit that I can no longer endure the strain that has poisoned our relationship. I can no longer continue being your boyfriend. This decision has weighed heavily upon me as I had hoped our love would withstand any tribulations we faced. Though our paths may diverge I wish you nothing but the best as you venture forth into the unknown. May you find the love and happiness that eluded us in our time together. Farewell Juniper. - Yours sincerely, Larry
