Get the biggest spoon you can find and eat tons and tons of humble pie.
At some point you'll get sick and burst from your regret and vow to never
make the same mistake.

Then you have a chance of the person forgiving you when they can
see you also feel their pain and are truly remorseful.

Instead of trying to prove your point, consider relaxing the issue; if you think you did wrong (why else would you call it mess up) then please do take the courage and apologize or make amends; admit to your wrong doing. Nothing is sexier to a lover than when in a spat the partner capitulates, and capitulates first. That's where the word "copulates" comes from, originally -- the guy was so ecstatic that his lover admitted that she was in the wrong, that he f=ed her on the spot. And that's why they call the "wet spot" that; it came from the expression "went spat", that is, a spat that left, due to some making-up subroutines in the program.

If you messed up,then why are you still wanting to prove your point?
Could it be cause you are just way too"bossy"?

Learn from your mistake and don't fugg up a good thing next time... Many people do this all the time. They want something good and when they are fortunate to get a good thing, they screw it up (pun not intended)...

hmmmm,

If you already know you screwed up a good thing, then you already know that you are responsible for something.

Why try to prove something when an apology might calm the waters?

Amazing what a simple apology can do.

Try to fix it. If you can't learn from it and move on. Next time you should know better.

Try to fix it, but if he won't give you the time of day all you can do is move on and consider it a learning experience for your next relationship. Remember to always think before you act out with your emotions because words or actions can't be taken back once they are said or done. If he really cared for you as much as you did him he would be willing to forgive you. Maybe it was time to move on anyway?

If it has to do with cheating.....give up they would be stupid to take you back, and probably won't. Messed up a good thing....probably too late now

How important is it to prove your point? How big did you blow it with this perosn?
Let's face it there are somethings that just can't be taken back.

Personally, I'd explain my reasons right away.

But YOU should start kissing a** immediately.

If it was just something you said, an apology should work, unless of course he is looking for a good reason to dump you. That way he can put the blame on you, when he's already ready to get outta the relationship. If he really cared he'd forgive your words.
