Everyone makes mistakes. It’s a fact of life but some mistakes are much harder to forgive than others. If you’ve done a touch that has caused your boyfriend to end your relationship you are likely looking for ways to convince him you are sorry. If you want to get him to forgive you, you have to commence by looking at the situation through his eyes.

Doing a touch that hurts another person is always a hard thing. Whether you cheated on your boyfriend with another man or you simply said a touch that stung, you must deliberate how it made him feel. He is likely feeling rage, resentment, sadness and a deep sense of disappointment in you. If you still want him in your life, you have to work to rebuild the relationship. It’s typically never as simple as apologizing and vacant back to the way things used to be.

The first thing most men want when they’ve been hurt is space. If you want to get him to forgive you, you have to honor his need for time to himself. You may have an urge to contact him and try and convince him that you’ll never do the same thing again. As much as you want to do this, don’t. You should apologize once and then give him time to reflect things through. Crowding someone when they’ve questioned for time alone will only irritate them. It’s best to let him be until he feels it’s time to contact you again. Not only will he spend this time thinking about the event or events that caused him to break up with you, but he’ll also remember how much he cared for you and how vital you are to him.

It’s really most vital for you to show him that you’ve changed. This is the best way to get him to forgive you. This means that if you were seeing someone else you need to end that relationship. If you lied about a touch and he found out, you have to show that you are trustworthy and if the reason he left was because you hurt him by a touch you said, you need to work on controlling your emotions so it doesn’t happen again in the future.

Many couples have gotten back together after breaking up. Forgiveness does happen. Sometimes it simply takes time and patience. If he’s really the man for you, respect his wishes and wait for him to make the first go.
