What can I say to convince my ex that our relationship was a mistake and we should not get back together?

It sounds like our relationship has come to an end, and I think that's for the best. You were always my first love, but in the end we were incompatible and it was never healthy for either of us. Our differing opinions and views made sustaining a relationship very difficult, if not impossible. Forget me nots reminded you of me and ultimately made you feel sad and lonely rather than appreciated. Ultimately our break up is for the best, so please don't try to rekindle something that will only cause hurt again in both of us.

The time you spent together was helpful in gaining a new perspective on what makes for a healthy relationship. It was beneficial that it did not last, as understanding the basis of why an otherwise 'perfect' relationship failed is crucial to making sure the same mistakes are not repeated in future relationships. Being honest and accepting fault in the situation will help ensure he does not place all blame on you; remember that ending things mutually does not have to be taken as a sign of ultimate failure, but can instead be seen as both parties coming to an understanding and taking necessary steps towards improving themselves independently. Above all else though, ensure he knows that this is something you both truly want; it will never be easy to leave someone or accept being left by them, but having full understanding and consent from both sides that this course of action is best helps provide closure and encourages finding success again in individual endeavors with enough self reflection afterwards.
