You can't make your ex-partner feel guilty and apologetic for breaking up with you, but you can ask for respect and understanding for your hurt feelings. If the breakup was due to conflicting lifestyles or goals, it might be helpful to clarify how they affecting the relationship in hopes of reconciliation. Open dialogue is always recommended over guilt tripping since respect is necessary in any healthy relationship.

While it is understandable that you are hurt by your ex's decision to break up, it is ultimately their decision and you should not try to make them feel guilty or apologetic for it. Even if they were the one who initiated the breakup, remember that you both had a role in the relationship and both contributed to the end result. Instead of trying to guilt-trip your ex, focus on honoring your own role in the relationship, processing any remaining emotions you have about how things ended and thinking about what kind of growth opportunities could come from moving forward.
