When you have an argument,say sorry FOR YOUR ROLE IN IT.Sorry should not be accompanied by excuses.Just plain “I’m sorry for…”
NOT:
“I’m sorry THAT MADE YOU UPSET”–but rather “I’m sorry I did/said that”
NOT:
“I’m sorry but YOU have to stop being so sensitive”–but rather “I’m sorry,you’re the last person in the world I ever want to hurt in any way”
