I lost my wife to cancer five years ago after 53 years living together. Now I am old and alone and have no one to ask me what was I thinking when I bring home five ripe bananas. Oh, how I would love to hear that now. On my next trip to the grocery store I’m going to buy five ripe bananas just so I can imagine her telling me how silly I had been. God, how I miss that now.

My mother kicked me out when I was 12 because she lost her iPod. After 15 yrs I decided to confront her and the closest I got to an apology was "I'm sorry for everything that you believe I've done". The harm of this delusion is beyond words and I really hope that people can start to realize this and accept their accountability in their actions.

@Jamie Wooder I sincerely wish men and women would sincerely apologize when they need to and take gender out of it altogether. It's not a woman thing or a man thing, it's a human being thing. And an apology should never include an "if you" or a "but you." It's a matter of kindness and taking responsibility for our own behavior and transgressions towards others.

​@salmaumar5750 both parties don't always have something to be sorry for. An apology where you expect the other person to also apologize isn't a real apology. It can be a manipulative way to get someone who isn't at fault to apologize for reacting to being abused, aka reactive abuse. Reactive abuse is a natural way of responding to being treated poorly. You should only apologize when you're really sorry and know what you're saying sorry for, not to get the other person to admit wrong-doing.

Sadly my spouse is exactly this way, so I feel for you. He's not used to ever seeing his dad apologize and his upbringing was not one that encouraged expression of feelings, even with two loving parents. It's just the way some people are and it's SUPER difficult for the person on the receiving end. It's like pouring salt on the wound - you're already hurt and then the "blaming" apologies just hurt you even more. Wishing you blessings on your journey, we all have our own journey

@@chaoswitch1974 I know a lot of the time, the way narcissists act, It's rational to make that judgment, like to pretend they care when they are acting like completely horrible people is almost more insane than them. But I've seen it that if a narcissist gets broken down. For a breath period of time. You can see really that it's not personal, they're just so scared and they don't actually want to hurt you. But it's probably circumstance based whether you ever get to see this. Because it's my family and my mum is a narcissist, not a sociopath. So to actually reply to what you're saying, I think that actually depends on the person and the severity. Much love.

You need to get your head out of whether you're being blamed for doing something wrong, which is actually deflecting and blaming a person who is holding you accountable. You need to look at it whether you did something wrong or not. If you did, apologize. If not, get that person out of your life. If you keep wronging another, or if they keep feeling wronged, you're better off not being in one another's life. One of you is abusive. I can't tell which based on your comment alone.

It felt like he was hurting me all over again as he only really cared about his making amends step. The second time was even worse. The man called to confess in detail how he had cheated on me when we were dating. He was trying to absolve himself while telling me something hurtful that I might have never known. Luckily I didn’t get stuck with either of them. 😅

@penylayne 2 года назад
I think that whether you perceive apologies as helpful, depends a lot on what you want. If you want revenge, for that person to hurt or suffer, humiliate or realize they aren't worthy of the title "human", then there prob is no apology that would suffice. If you want to forge a relationship, change an opinion, correct a mistake, then you'll probably be more receptive. I dread the day that ppl stop talking, and accept separation, and hate. It's what I see happening a lot, with some showing acceptance, tolerance, and empathy. Prob most people are a mix of all at different times. There really is, scientifically anyway, only 1 current race of human: homosapien.

It's not the original transgression which is so hurtful, it's the "but..." (fill in excuse) that quickly follows it, which means there's no apology there to be had.

What to do when that's an all too common scenario?

Is not bi-polar disorder diagnosis becoming over used and harmful to the public at large? I'd heard of this difficult pronouncement of peoples state of mind, far ahead of having any understanding of what in the world this 'hanging by a thread' diagnosis really means. Psychology is lacking more and more in truly helping anyone. Compassion itself has become compartmentalized and therefore, absent altogether when it comes to, 'heart'.

Someone who I love...and it was not my intention at all. But I couldn't tell him my fears because it always turned to be an argument, so I decided not to. I decided I'm gonna try to fix myself and see what's going on, why I'm stressed. He said I ignored him. Altough I said I just need to find it out and I need to calm down. He didn't care about my letter, he didn't care that I talk with an open heart. He was talking very nastily to me and he just cut the contact. So what do I have left? Letting go? Just accept it, right?

Hi i feel for you story! That's why i want to anwser. I might be wrong in my conclusion but this is what i got out of it: you don't Wright the letter to someone and hope for a respons. You Wright the letter/note to let them now how you feel and how you do not put up with what they said or did. Your words should be of dignity and honosty. If that is thé case you are true to yourself and Know you did the right thing. Thé fact that you don't expect anything back makes you have the power. This is what i believe thé inside out process of hapinnes. If however you Wright a letter or note expecting a specific respons or apology you give away your power. So only wait (give yourself time) until you are ready to share what you think when you don't expect anything back. That's where your true power is

Seems like you are making demands of someone you did wrong. They may have pointed out that there was a pattern. its good to admit wrong. It does no good to demand the solution by x date... Its up to them now. Its a relationship.

Why he won't apologize is the same as why she won't apologize. To much pride.

Moody and stubborn behaviour brings fear in life. If we never did praise of God then we don’t have apologies in our pocket because God give souls apologies . Discrimination brings fear in life. Praise of God make us fearless and confident in life. Serving souls depression go away. Without praise of God everything we do in universe is cause. Faith is big pillow. Do praise of God then souls coprate in life and connect with love. Moody and stubborn behaviour brings fear in life. Praise of God can do anything or everything in life. God is our inner beauty. God is in every heart.

Well she did a great job of stating the problem, but offers no solution. How do we deal with blamers and people who won’t apologize for even the most aweful and hurtful things they say?

You have to accept that they probably aren't sorry. Either that or their ego is more important to them than you are. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your own mental health is cut the people who affect you negatively out of your life.

Learn to accept the apology you never received. You have to let it go. Carrying it only harms you. ❤️

She did provide the solution: don't let people off the hook by resorting to blaming them for blaming. Instead, be courageous by showing vulnerability and expressing the hurt that their words and/or actions caused. If they respond by saying, "I don't care how you feel," or, "good that I hurt you," then double down and say that it hurts that you feel that way. Keep doubling down if you keep getting empathyless responses.

Im noticing a lot of female stereotypes are being brought up in society as if they are male stereotypes. I cant remember the last time a women apologized to me. Even an ex that cheated somehow made ME feel guilty. Whatever though. Already 5 minutes in so i’ll finish it.

The "he" in the title was used ironically, mockingly. She was making the point that "we" all tend to look to the other person for making a situation right , or better, with an apology; that is giving away your power, acting as a victim. And in all honesty, women tend to act as victims more than men, particularly in relationships. So, if you think of it in those terms, the title was confronting women. And, the example she used was of herself acting hurtfully. It was she, Lerner, who owed the apology to her husband -- and she gave it, with humor. BTW, her book which this talk is based on is titled, "Why Won't You Apologize: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts". Not Why Won't He Apologize: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts.
