Looking for advice, not criticism.
I (22M) met a girl (21F) while on vacation and we really connected. We’re actually from the same hometown, which made it feel even more natural. The problem is, I was in a relationship at the time.
When I got home, I realized I couldn’t keep living like that and ended things with my girlfriend.
The girl I met has since found out I had a girlfriend during the time we were together, and she’s understandably upset and blocked me. My intention was to be honest with her the next time we saw each other, but she found out another way, and I feel terrible about it.
I don’t want to make excuses — I just feel like she deserves an apology and for me to own up to my actions. At the same time, I don’t want to push into her life if she’s made it clear she wants no contact.
Would it be better to try writing her a letter to apologize (maybe through a mutual friend) or should I just respect the fact that she blocked me and leave her alone?
TL;DR: Met a girl while on vacation but I had a girlfriend at the time. Ended things with my girlfriend after the trip, but the girl I met found out I was cheating and blocked me. I want to apologize and take responsibility, but I’m unsure if I should try (letter/mutual friend) or just leave her alone.
