4. AVOID EXCUSES
The mistake most people make when they apologise is always looking for excuses and you should avoid doing this when you apologise to your partner. When you make excuses for your mistake, you are not showing your partner you are truly sorry and want their forgiveness. Learn not to look for excuses when you apologise.
5. BE SPECIFIC
Most people just apologise without knowing what they are really apologising for and this is so wrong as that does not show you are truly sorry. When you apologise, you have to be specific and let your partner know what you are apologising for. If you cheated on your partner, you should apologise for cheating and not say you are sorry for getting them upset. Learn to be specific when you apologise.
6. BE EMPATHETIC
When you hurt your partner, try to be empathetic; put yourself in their shoes. Your partner wants to know you feel the pain you made them go through and it’s important you show them you understand the pain you made them go through. Instead of just saying sorry, you should instead try saying you understand your actions caused them so much pain and you are truly sorry. Your partner wants to know you understand the pain they went through because if you truly understand the pain you made them go through, you would be sincerely sorry and won’t want them to go through that again. Learn to be empathetic.
Save your relationship today by apologising the right way.
