Can’t accept husbands apologies

[Anonymous]

My husband has always been a bad apologized. His apologies never feel sincere. He never seems to feel bad for causing others pain. I’ve never seen him agonize over another persons feelings. He is always annoyed that I do not accept his apologies but he never appears to be genuinely remorseful.

Does he repeat the same offenses time and time again? I am generally very forgiving unless the person continues the same patterns. Words are cheap without a genuine effort to avoid offensive behavior after an apology.

But not knowing you or your husband, I'm not assuming he's disingenuous. Some people are just practical in their approach - no drama, no hyperbole. Focus on his actions afterwards - if he makes an effort not to do the same thing he's apologized for, then give him some credit and accept this as one of those "for better or for worse" things <3

Hmm. Not sure which is worse -- bad apologies or no apologies. I usually got no apology.

Also, this whole Harvey Weinstein thing has made me realize that, in general, men are terrible at apologizing while we women apologize all the time for everything.
