Ever hear the phrase love is not enough. Well sometimes sorry
is not enough. A bad apology is one where you don’t even really say
you’re sorry. You’re kinda like I’m sorry if you felt that
way even though someone has just told you that you’ve hurt them. Or
sometimes you apologize and expect instant forgiveness, you don’t
allow the other person to process their emotions. I had an ex who
once left me waiting for a couple hours which I found pretty
disrespectful. He apologized and gave me lots of reasons why he was
late making me feel even more unimportant. He also didn’t know that
my language of apology was making restitution. As a result, I
needed some space on my own to mend myself since he wasn’t part of
that process. He got even more upset condemning me for
overreacting. His response ironically was a huge overreaction where
he wanted to re-define the relationship. Obviously we’re not
together anymore.
