[quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be about tone of voice...bc I've made plenty of apologies that probably SOUNDED more like "I cannot stand you right now." It may be that your DH is absently saying "I'm sorry" the way I might say it to someone I've bumped into, and you're taking that to be an apology (whereas I'd say it's more just a nicety). If it's in regards to a behavior that's a big deal for you, then in your shoes I might just nicely ask, "instead of just saying 'I'm sorry' can you let me know this is something you plan to change?" For example although I say "I'm sorry" to my DH I might also say something like "I can see that I was in the wrong here. In the future, I will try to do/avoid XYZ." [/quote]
