[quote=Anonymous]How often are these events happening where he's hurting your feelings and then apologizing later (sincere or not)? It sounds like this is happening regularly, but I can't tell why. On the one hand, if he's frequently doing things that hurt your feelings (such as name calling when you're having a disagreement), it's no wonder you don't believe his apologies. Part of being sorry about it is the implicit promise to try not to do it again, and if he's not trying, it's hard to take his apologies as sincere. On the other hand, if you tend to take everything as a slight, whether it actually was or not, and then demand apologies afterward, I could see him getting tired of that and his apologies not seeming sincere because they're not -- he's not really doing anything wrong and he knows it, but is saying he's sorry just to pacify you. From you post, there's really no way of knowing which of these is going on, so I'm going to suggest marriage counseling so a third party can hear the details of this incident and see how you two relate to each other to sort it out.[/quote]
