I have misunderstanding with my partner today and all I can do was to cry because he is more powerful than me. But I love him so much and when we have misunderstanding its usually my fault. I feel bad afterward and I don't know what to sometimes. How do you say sorry after a misunderstanding between you and your partner.

If in fact it is my fault, the easiest way to say your sorry is, 'I'm sorry' and mean it. I'm not sure what you mean by 'more powerful', is he physically bigger than you, speaks louder than you? Because although I have been at fault, it is not always my fault, and when that occurs, all I would want is a sincere apology from him. I have been in a relationship before where it was always made (at least in his mind) that it was my fault, so I was the one that was forever apologizing, until I realized, no it's not always my fault, he is at fault here also.

Thanks for that. He is more powerfull than me but I dont know in what way. He have the job and cover living expenses and because I dont have contribution in that part I am scared to answer him even if I know I am right.

It's not hard to say sorry when you had a mistake...If your partner loves you he will understand your situation....In a relationship there's no room for yuor PRIDE....as long as you love your partner,you'll do everything, anything to keep your relationship work...Sometimes it's doesnt matter who commit a mistake its a matter of forgiveness and love....

If it's my fault I will accept it and say sorry about it. But if it's not my fault and telling me still it's my fault well that is a different story. I will still stand and be firm that it wasn't my fault and that is her fault. If she calls me up and realized that it's her fault it's fine but if she did not call me up or either see me, it's still fine with me,maybe she's looking for a loop hole and not to talk to me anymore. It takes two to tango. Have a nice day!

In life it is bound to happen. When ever there is some discussion between us on family matters. My partner keeps silent and do not talk. I use to get away out side and keep my self away for a while. When I am home my partner use to keep busy in the house holding & I sitting before the desk top at my lot. After a day or two if there is some family call or a guest happens to be there, the things are got resolved and every thing is ok for further.

First you should talk to him, maybe you should have heart to heart talk because before my partner is like that also. Now that we talk we had more time to spend together without arguing too much. Tell him how do you feel about it. Don't be shy and be direct to the point. But dont let him feel upset.Just do your best to explain and to let him understand things. Let him know that he has his own mistakes too and you feel hurt also about it. I hope you can resolve that. Happy mylotting!
