Relationship: Who is the first to apologize?

[kamurj 76]

Let's see how our experience and relationship compares to others. Maybe we should make polls a weekly thing. Message me to suggest a question, topic for our next poll.

Usually my spouse, he is far more diplomatic than I am and hates confrontation. However, if he has his dander up you won’t get an apology to save your life for a few days. As I mellow in my middle age I am much more inclined to apologize.

The man of course!  Ha ha  Just kidding...sort of.

My vote is something that isn't a selection in the poll.

Who ever was wrong.  Sometimes it takes some cooling off period and reflection but hopefully the person that was wrong steps up and apologizes.

Great idea.  We used to have people post polls all the time back in the day.

Agree. 

So, of course, it's my boyfriend who usually apologizes first. 

I jest, I jest.

We usually only argue about stupid things. I think the few arguments we do have are actually the result of one of us being hangry and irrational.

After food is ingested and reason returns, it's easy to see where we went wrong and easy to apologize for being stupid.

what is this apology from spouse that everyone speaks of? Being an empath I apologize profusely.

 

I never heard one Im sorry in ten years with my ex..... stonewalling, silent treatment etc.... now its on my short list of requirements for prospective partners... Empathy
