How to apologize with your partner

Feel the apologies sincerely, means admitting that we were wrong and that we are responsible for the mistake that we've made, and mostly, acknowledge the need to change so it won't happen again, we've done something wrong and we don't want to do it again.

Obviously, this attitude, very accurate by the way, must not come only from one member of the couple, but also from the other member, in the case that the other member has made the mistake.

"When one of the parties decides to apologize sincerely, the other must be able to forgive."

If the apology is made in a sarcastic, aggressive language, or laughing, it won't be believable and therefore ineffective in its final objective, it could also make things worse.

Apologize after discussing

Apologizing after a discussion isn't a universal solution, it won't magically disappear anger, but the speech is one of the ways that humanity communicates, and the words that we say when we try to apologize make sense to the one who says them and to the one who listens to them, especially if they come with an honest feeling of remorse and respect towards your partner.

Now, if apologizing becomes repetitive, it looses its true sense and we start thinking that the person doesn't really want to change a thing. In that case, we will have to deal with the problem from another point of view and it maybe be convenient, to get professional help.
