After relocating from a long-distance relationship to her city I had to break up with my long-term girlfriend over a single major issue. We’ve been in no contact for six weeks at her request but I'm deeply struggling with the grief and want to send a final closure letter.
In the message I want to take accountability for my flaws apologize for hurting her refute her belief that I didn't care and thank her for being the best chapter of my life as I officially let her go.
Before I hit send I need advice: Is reaching out going to bring her peace or will breaking her request for space just disrupt her healing and devastate her further?

six weeks of silence after building a life around someone is a different kind of pain. i once wrote a whole goodbye letter to my ex, trying to explain everything i couldn't say before, and it hurt realizing i might never get to share it.
i'd respect her request for space and keep the letter for now. i learned that closure can come from finally saying the words, even when the other person never reads them.
I feel the same
you think you're ready to let her go without a reply, even if she never knows what you wrote
