Breaking up a relationship is not fun.

On top of the heartbreak, comfort eating/fasting, and missing their touch, there are so many regrets.

Particularly, things you wish you had said to them afterwards.

Now there's a place to share your attempts at catharsis.

Sean Peter Drohan, from New York, has created a Google spreadsheet, for all the heartbroken souls out there to share the text message they wish they'd send.

Some are hilarious, some sorrowful, most are painfully honest.

Since creating it on Valentine's Day, there are over 800 entries in this 'database' of ex messages.

Speaking to Metro, Drohan explained the value of such a simple spreadsheet:

Presumably, it never hits the target audience, but writing it down, publicly, gives you a second to be honest in a world that doesn’t make you feel like it ever wants you to just be honest about what you’re feeling.

A lot of people are really funny on it, and those are awesome, and then other people go in the other direction and are definitely trying to perform how sad they are, but most people are just very sincere, and that’s not normal in 2017, but it’s very nice.

Wrecked:

17: I loved your dog more than I ever loved you.

61: Remember how you thought I was too dumb to get into princeton? Well i don't see YOUR acceptance letter anywhere, who gets the last laugh nowwww

96. I didn't realise how small your penis was until I finally got good f***s after breaking up with you.

187. You're a womaniser sociopath loser that still lives with his mom at 33.

I dated you almost 10 years ago and you're still the same ***hole as ever.

I can't believe I dated you. PS. I met a girl who dated you 2 years ago, WE ARE ON TO YOU.

Regrets:

74. Wish you never licked my b***

517. I miss you, my best friend

685. I couldn't find love in myself, so I demanded unconditional love from you. I hope one day you'll forgive me.

Heartache:

119. We fell in love with you at a young age, but god damn I still have never loved anybody the way I loved you.

I don't think there will ever be a time in my life where you will not be somebody I would still like to be with.

I'm scared I won't love anybody else the way I loved you.

148. I miss you just a little bit every day. It's just enough that sometimes I don't notice it, but it's also just enough that it constantly feels like a little part of me is missing.

There's so much that I never quite got to say to you before we broke up, but some part of me is still hoping for a second chance somewhere down the line.

I will probably always love you, but you know that already.

I guess I just want you to know that today, I'm thinking about you.

202. After you broke up with me I went into your pantry, a sobbing mess, and took your Nutella lol.

Succinct:

134. F*** YOUUUUUUUUUU

644. F*** you... F*** you very very muuuuuuuuch... Please don't stay in touch

704. f*** you.

Here's the full list.
