Send this first (for breaking trust)
Trust is repaired by time and evidence, never by argument.
I broke something that took years to build and I know an apology does not rebuild it. I am sorry, and I am not asking for anything today.
Trust is repaired by time and evidence, never by argument. The apology here is not the repair — it is only permission to begin one, and it should say so honestly. What follows is written for exactly this — messages you can send to her in the next few minutes, plus the part most advice skips: what to leave out.

The best sorry wish for a her for breaking trust is one that takes responsibility for a specific action, acknowledges the effect it had, and asks for nothing in return. Do not ask for a second chance in the apology. Say plainly that you know trust is earned back slowly, and that you are prepared for that to take as long as it takes. Removing the request is what makes it credible. On BuildNectic you can also send a personalised sorry website — a private apology page that opens slowly instead of in a notification bar — your words paced line by line, your photos, and a folded paper letter they unfold themselves — which arrives as a single private link on WhatsApp and needs no app or account to open.

A different angle on the same first move, in case the first one is not how you speak.
I am not going to ask you to trust me again. I am going to be trustworthy and let you decide when you have seen enough.

I am sorry. I understand if this takes a long time, and I am not going to rush you through it for my own comfort.
When the only thing left to add would be an excuse.
You have always given me more room than I earned. I used it badly this time. I am sorry, and I would like to earn it properly from here.
The one you would rather not send, which is usually the one that works.
I am sorry. Not the fast sorry that ends an argument — the slow one, the one that comes after understanding exactly what you felt.
So the night does not do the damage that the argument started.
Anger is easy and repair is slow, and I picked the easy one first. Forgive the delay. I am sorry, and I am still here.
For sending while it is still raw, when anything long will read as a defence.
I said the thing I cannot unsay, and I have been living in the echo of it since. I am sorry. I would trade a great deal to have that thirty seconds back.
Asks for nothing, so there is nothing they have to decide right now.
There is a version of that evening where I stayed quiet and we went to sleep fine. I keep visiting it. I am sorry that I chose the other one.
A long apology in a chat window gets read in three seconds between other notifications. The same words on a private page open slowly — one line at a time, with the photos only the two of you have behind them and a folded letter they unfold themselves. Same words, completely different reception.

Do not ask for a second chance in the apology. Say plainly that you know trust is earned back slowly, and that you are prepared for that to take as long as it takes. Removing the request is what makes it credible. Whatever you send, send it once and then stop. Repeated messages shift the weight of the situation from what you did onto how you are feeling about it, and her then has to manage both.
Avoid anything that contains the word "but", anything that describes your intentions, and anything that ends in a question. Each of the three moves the conversation back to you — and for breaking trust, her is not looking for your perspective yet.

Yes, and it is the option most people are switching to. A BuildNectic sorry website is a private apology page that opens slowly instead of in a notification bar — your words paced line by line, your photos, and a folded paper letter they unfold themselves. You personalise it in a few minutes, get a private link, and send it on WhatsApp — her opens it in their browser with nothing to install and no account to create.
Shorter than you think. A long apology reads as a defence, because length invites explanation and explanation invites excuses. Two or three sentences that name what you did, without a single "but", outperform a paragraph almost every time — save the longer version for when you are face to face with her.
No. The link opens full-screen in any browser on any phone or laptop — no download, no sign-up, nothing for her to install. It works on Android and iPhone, and it stays online afterwards so they can reopen it later.
Silence after an apology is usually processing rather than rejection, and following it with a second message converts it into pressure. Send one message, make it complete, and then leave the next move to them. If several days pass, one short line that asks for nothing — not a repeat of the apology — is the most you should add.
