Have you ever noticed that sometimes in an argument, men tend to get everything out they
want to say, spend a little in silence, and then, they are just over whatever the problem was?
Or, you’ve made it obvious to him, he’s hurt your feelings,so he gives you some space, and
then acts like nothing happened?
Ever been annoyed by this attitude? I have a few times. It’s not the way we women handle
it, and it can sometimes feel frustrating or even unloving.
And in our typical female fashion,we play out a couple of scenarios in our mind of what he should
do and say to apologize, make it right or truly resolve the matter–
A good apology is more healing than you could ever imagine. Its almost impossible to stay angry
at someone who is sincerely repenting to you saying:
- I’m sorry I…….(no but or however) Take ownership ot the mistake
- Please forgive me (be sincere in wanting to be forgiven and reconciled again)
- I will try to hurt you in this way again ( Don’t just be sorry without planning to change…make an honest verbal effort to not repeat the offense)
