Seven years ago, I had a long-distance virtual relationship with someone from another country. It ended badly because I ignored him and didn’t communicate properly; he was going through a hard time and I was very young and immature.
Now, years later, I feel bad about what I did and want to apologize. I’m not trying to restart anything or expect a reply, I just want to close that chapter in a mature way.
What would you do in my place? Do you think it’s worth sending a message after so many years?

are you hoping for their response at all, or is this more about forgiving your younger self and closing that loop
apologizing was more about who i wanted to be now. i sent it with zero expectations and that alone gave me peace, even without a reply.
i ghosted someone when i didn’t have the tools to show up. i carried that guilt way longer than the relationship itself. it’s weird how unfinished stuff lingers
