A text message to a promise breaker
Here are a few examples of text messages you could send to someone who has broken a promise:
Option 1: Straightforward and direct
"Hey, I'm really disappointed that you didn't follow through on your promise. I was counting on you and it feels like you didn't keep your word. Can we talk about what happened?"
Option 2: Expressing feelings
"I'm feeling really hurt and betrayed that you didn't keep your promise. I thought we had a good understanding and I trusted you. Can we talk about what went wrong and how we can move forward?"
Option 3: Focused on the impact
"I was really looking forward to [insert specific event or activity] and your promise was a big part of that. Now that you've broken your word, I'm feeling really let down and disappointed. Can we find a way to make it right?"
Option 4: Calm and assertive
"I understand that things don't always go as planned, but I was really counting on you to follow through on your promise. Can we discuss what happened and how we can avoid similar situations in the future?"
Remember to keep your tone calm and assertive, and try to avoid blaming or attacking language. The goal is to express your feelings and concerns in a way that encourages the other person to listen and respond thoughtfully.
