[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have this strange problem where I don't always believe my husband's apologies. There are[b] three instances in my recent memory[/b] where I believe he genuinely apologized for hurting my feelings. [b]Both times [/b]he genuinely felt bad and I could sense it.

[b]Other times[/b], I explain what he did/said hurt me and he offers me a short, "I'm sorry." I don't buy it because I can just tell he does not feel regret for upsetting me or hurting my feelings. We then get into a fight because he says I am very difficult to apologize to since I do not forgive him. I feel like if there isn't a sincere apology, what do I have to forgive?

How do you differentiate between a sincere apology and just a verbal one?[/quote]
How often are your feelings hurt?  Ignoring the discrepancy in first paragraph of 3 vs 2 instances in recent memory, there are also the 'other times'.  I can't tell whether you are too easily offended or whether he's a jerk.  But apologies about serious issues just shouldn't be that frequent in a marriage because you shouldn't need them that much.[/quote]
