In a relationship, like husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, and even friendship... Are you aware that sometimes we hurt somebody's feeling without even knowing it?...maybe because we just thought that everything's okey though it's not.
Or maybe Oh!...i'll just giver her/him a call later, until we forget it.
Are you trying to make up things like this?...and why "SORRY" seem to be the hardest word to say, to patch up everything and to make everything back into normal just like what you had before?

I agree that "sorry" seems to be the hardest word to say. That means you have to go down, humble... that's that hard thing, because, WE, human has pride.
For me, if I have done wrong, it's not hard for me to say that word!
Nice topic.

PRIDE is one aspect why it's hard to do so. Sometimes let's put aside that pride so there's something new to look out and who know it will be a better one.

I agree with you. We should not be afraid of / or postpone telling sorry wherever it is due/highly overdue. At the same time too many sorries, lose their shean.

my boyfriend and i know each other so much. and we know if one's feeling bad of hurt. so, we instantly talk about the issue. and we try to solve it within the same day. we hate bringing our hurt feelings to sleep and to another day. it's better if we solve it together that very same day.
it's difficult to say sorry sometimes. but when we know it is us to be blamed, we really ask for forgiveness at once.
i guess, it's because of our pride that's why we can't just accept we've done something wrong. but pride won't get us anywhere. it will just deepend the painful feelings our partners have. so, better say sorry especially if it is you who did something wrong... anne

In that way, I am pretty sure there's a good understanding then.
There is nothing wrong if we humble down ourselves. It's a great feeling anyway.

sorry isnt a hard for me butterfly. i have always said sorry and never feel hesitant to say so. i feel an earnest sorry change change lives. sometimes, even if i am not responsible i say sorry to pacify the whole thing. it works wonders. a simple word does magic and we should try to say and feel sory whenever and wherever required.
thanx.

I agree that sometimes "sorry" is a hard word to say, especially if you genuinely don't think that you were wrong. I have learned that if you hurt someone even if you don't think you're wrong you can say, "I'm sorry that I hurt you or I'm sorry I made you feel that way, without necessarily saying I'm sorry I did whatever..."
Also in a relationship you just need to learn to say, "I'm wrong, you're right, I'm sorry." It will save you a lot of time/trouble. LOL
Good topic.
