Episode #1013
Ever find yourself wondering why you're always the one apologizing in your relationship? You're not alone. In this episode, Doug and Tim dig into a question that comes up all the time in coaching sessions: why is it so rare for women to apologize—and what does it really mean?
They break down the emotional weight behind apologies, how gender differences shape communication, and why "I'm sorry" might not come as easily for your partner as it does for you. More importantly, they walk you through what you can do about it. You'll get practical ways to create more understanding, reduce resentment, and open up honest conversations in a way that builds connection instead of conflict.
If you've ever felt frustrated or confused by this dynamic, this episode gives you insight and next steps you can actually use.
