We make mistakes in our lives. One common mistake commited is hurting someone we love may it be intentionally or unintentionally. Some painful memories may cause physical, mental and emotional damages to a person. Do you feel Guilty Hurting someone you love? If it's really love, why do wrong to a person? What do you do when guilt hits you? Do you apologize? Or forget about it and let the time just pass?

I feel really too guilty when I hurt my beloved my friend. I never wish to do that. But out of my control, I say something or I scold her for some issue. But as I scold her, hmmm, may be in minutes, I ask her sorry. I never wish to make my beloved to worry even for a second my friend. I consider her to be my life. Thus even if I scold her for her mistake, I ask sorry to her, immediatly my friend. And that too when I scold her and if she asks sorry to me for her mistake, I even feel more my friend. I feel as if, arre yar, I made her worry. Thus I immediatly ask her to get back the sorry and not to worry. And convince her too. Then I try to change the topic that I could make a smile to emerge on her face my friend. Happy new year my friend.

Dear Maria Happy New Year.... Nice topic... Yes, I feel to bad once I hurt my loved one... And Every one should feel the bad/pain at this situation if he/she loves that person more and more means... Sometimes Really I hurt my lovable friend... After that only I realized that and then really I fell guilty and directly went to him and asked sorry too... And from that time onwards I keep my mind to make watch very careful about my activities with my friend and keep trying to avoid to hurt him... But I am also human na? So I some times did the same... I feel very very guilty regarding this and I am trying to avoid this habit from me and I hope I am successive too... Really I am always be in love and thankful to my Lovable Friend... I wish him to be very very happy throughout his life... He is going to get marry next month... I pray God to make his life so joyful and beautiful... Hope you also will Pray for him with me... Thanks to you for this discussion to share my thoughts here...

Honestly? Yes! I really feel guily when I txt other girls who admire me with out asking permission to my girlfriend. The reason why I do not ask permission with her is because I know she will get mad at me. That's why i keep it a secret. But there are times that I realize I'm doing wrong where my girlfriend loves me and look what i'm doing flirting with other girls. Aw! I know if she will know about this she will really get mad. But now I no longer doing that thing because I love my girl friend. At the first I know that's bad that's why i already resisting it for better days.

I really feel guilty after my husband and I have argued.... 9 times out of 10 I am always the one saying I am sorry.... I do not know if it is a man thing or not but sometimes I feel he does not know the words.... He says he is sorry in other ways whether it is buying me a pop or calling to check on me.... and sometimes it is just that slap on the behind or the way he looks at me.....Sometimes you do not need words to know how a person thinks of you..... These may be small items to some but to me they are special

I know someone who always say sorry after she argued to her husband. Same as you, it wasnt her fault but it always end up its her apologizing. Generally, men are not good in words or they pride themselves too much to say sorry.

It really makes me feel guilty when hurting someone I love either intentional or not. It never gave me peace of mind but hate for myself when doing such act. But, I am only human who do commit mistakes in life and make some corrections at my present from the product of my past. It does not mean that you no one had never hurt the one their love. IT depends on the situation at stake for them. When guilt hits me, means I am sorry for myself in hurting his feelings.

Soemtimes i do feel quilty for hurting someone. Soemtimes people dont understand why they do it sometimes it just happens. I usually apologize and sometimes cry. I dont do it intentionally, it just happens. I cant stand to hurt them and hope me and that person feels bad ab out it.

Yes. I never want to hurt someone that I love. I know it does happen occasion though but it is never meant to be intentional. I apologise to them when it happens. I never forget about it.

yes, i feel badly when i hurt someone i love. it seems we hurt the people we are most the closest to. In relationships with men, unfortunately i've had to hurt or say goodbye to someone with whom it didn't work out with. it hurts me even though i'm saying goodbye because we were once together. the result is we are both doing what is best in the situation as not to continue something that won't work out or the person isn't the right one for me. If they weren't good to me or jerks on the other hand i don't feel guilty or hurt----- goodbye.........period

yes I do feel guilty if I hurt somebody even I don't have any amore to that person. But hurting person I love hurts me more. Feeling guilty, its depends on whose fault it is. If I hurt the person I love because he or she commit wrong deeds. I feel guilty about it but I don't need to apologies because for me its only a natural thing to do. Everything we do has a consequence. That what I believed.

Hi I was one such who used to act in haste during my childhood days.I used to make fun of people whom i dislike infront of them.This happened not because i hate but because i was jealous of them.There were many a times i felt guity and ashamed of myself.After realizing that i have done a mistake,i used to go and apolizise to them and tell them how sorry i felt.Consiously i tried not to over react at circumstances with people whom i hate.Gradually this improved and today, its very rare than i have animosity with anyone.I like many and i love my friends. Thanks Saya
