Why Some Partners Struggle to APOLOGIZE and How to Get Better: Episode 348


Listen Later

"I'm sorry" - 2 little words that can not only be challenging for some partners to say, but also can mean MANY different things.

So in today's episode we cover:

  • Several specific reasons apologizing can be harder for some (self-awareness)

  • Why couples can battle over whether the 'I'm sorry' is deemed "necessary"

  • The different meanings of "I'm sorry" and how to expand your language for more things to say in these moments

  • How to get better at apologizing, big or small

We encourage BOTH of you to listen to this episode and talk about how you can both be better. Because these little moments truly can strengthen your bond or erode your ability to respect each other. We know, strong statement, but respect is tied to this.

As you listen, make sure you get our popular Making Up & Moving Forward guide. These repair steps prevent re-triggering a conflict, having to re-hash the details, and ensures you both feel resolved.
