I am getting better about apologizing when its my fault but still not great at it =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-423025 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:13:05 +0000 ladyfingers 423025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is really good at 1 and 3 (though it pisses me off when he does 3 because he just apologizes to shut me up when he doesn't even really understand why I'm upset). I'm really good at 2 lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422996 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:09:21 +0000 MapleMoose 422996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH needs work in this department. I'm pretty good about apologizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422985 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:07:29 +0000 BoogieBea 422985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is much better at it. I need to work on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422970 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:04:24 +0000 sarac 422970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a pro apologizer, but I wouldn't do it just to keep the peace. I don't do relationship dishonesty like that. But I'm a firm believer in taking responsibility and admitting when you're wrong. My husband has gotten really good at it over the decade we've been together too, since it's very important to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422706 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:25:09 +0000 .twist. 422706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH isn't great but he's a LOT better now than when I first met him. </p> <p>I over compensate and probably apologize too often. He has even noticed and sheepishly commented that I have apologized for stuff even when he knows I'm right just so I can keep the peace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422702 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:24:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 422702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: HAHAHA I love that you say I forgive you even if he doesn't appologize....I think I have to start using that!</p> <p>DH rarely appologizes, only if I drag it out of him. I feel like I appologize way too much! A lot of times even for something that I don't have to appologize for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422699 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:22:59 +0000 Alivoo01 422699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!</p> <p>Hubby is good about apologizing. I'm getting better at it, but can still be pretty stubborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422639 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:02:10 +0000 mrsjyw 422639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is better about apologizing than I am! I say it's because I'm rarely wrong! LoL jk.</p> <p>Im just more stubborn ~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422620 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:58:32 +0000 chopsuey 422620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like peace and am good about apologizing.<br /> If dh did something and he doesn't apologize after a couple hours, I'll say "I forgive you for... Blank" :) hahahahhaahaa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-good-about-apologizing-how-about-you#post-422608 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:56:27 +0000 mrbee 422608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There appear to be four basic situations when it comes to apologies:</p> <p>1) It's your fault, and you rightfully apologize<br /> 2) It's your fault, but you refuse to apologize (pride? anger?)<br /> 3) It's not your fault, and you apologize anyway to keep the peace (i.e. you're a middle child like me)<br /> 4) It's not your fault, and you refuse to apologize (from your perspective it can seem like you're just being honest - but if the other person feels wronged, I'm sure they have a different opinion!)</p> <p>I'm pretty good at situations 1 and 2: if something is my fault, then I will almost always apologize. I will also apologize in situation #3, if it's not something I feel strongly about.</p> <p>However, if it's something I feel strongly about, then I won't apologize in situation #2 if I feel I didn't do something wrong. Of course, if my counterparty feels the same way... then that can be a difficult situation! :)</p> <p>Most of the time though, I just apologize. Life is too short to hold onto things. I believe that anger can corrupt and twist you... so I try to let go of it whenever possible.</p> <p>Is your SO good about apologizing? How about you? </p>
