Richard C asked:


You have had a heated argument with your partner, and he/she has stormed out of the room. Now you feel hurt, angry, and dismayed all at once. Now that you have had time to think about it, the whole reason for the fight seems pretty trivial. Still, you think it is their fault, and you are right no matter what!  Why must you always apologize? You have no doubt heard the saying’ Love is having to say you are sorry’, and to get someone back when they’ve walked out on you, doesn’t have to be difficult.  How to say I am Sorry in a relationship if you think your partner was at fault is hard; but someone has to make the first move, and it may be you if you want to save the relationship. It doesn’t matter if your partner walked out after the argument a few days ago or a few months ago. The same principles to apologize still apply, and all that needs to be done is for you to be determined, committed to your cause, and to take the necessary action to say I am sorry and mean it.

Saying Sorry can Rescue the relationship!

To say I am sorry to your partner, means first figuring out what went wrong, how the argument started, and what was your role in the argument. This isn’t about blaming just for blames sake, it’s about working out what you need to do to apologize, and to make things right in the relationship. Remember it takes two to make a relationship work and having said that it also two to break a relationship, so be honest with yourself and take your share of the blame for what happened. If you know how to say I am sorry and mean it, you will more often than not get an apology from your partner as well, because they will also feel hurt just like you are feeling. Swallow your pride and say ‘I am sorry’ as soon as possible before all is lost!

Arguments can cause breakups in a relationship, and to get your partner back afterwards, means you are going to need an effective top draw apology. The apology must, in effect serve two ends: firstly, an explanation of why you are apologizing, and then a further explanation of what compromises you will implement so that the same problems that caused the argument in the first place will never occur again.  Get these two aspects right, and your apology will work for you just like you want it to.

It takes courage to say you are sorry.

Apologizing when you know you are right takes a lot of courage. No doubt your partner will also realize this, and as a result love you all the more for it. To say I am sorry you can plan a dinner date together or meet at someplace special where there are no interruptions or distractions. Look your partner in the eye when you apologize and mean it from your heart as well. Put feeling into the words while explaining about what happened to start the argument or problems and then elaborate on the second part of your apology, to your partner how what happened; will never happen again.  Your partner will realize that you are serious and sincere in your apology.   Knowing how to say you are sorry in a relationship opens lines of communication again, and you can undo the damage.
