when you are in a fight with your partner, and even if you are the one who made the mistake, even if its not your fault, do you still say sorry before your partner?
for me, i dont. if its his fault, then i wait for him to apologize. but if its my fault, then of course, i would admit it and apologize. :)
what about you?

I've never had a fight with mu current boyfriend (and we're together for over 2 years), but I can tell you about the previous fights I had.
No, I almost never say sorry first, unless he has a VERY good point! I got a problem with admitting mistakes, so it's kinda hard for me. Yeah, I'm still a spoiled little brat! Hehehe! :D

ooh. so you're an only child. lolz. :) well, i have one sister, but she is 13 years older than me, so my mom and dad treat me like a baby. lolz. well, i guess that kind of attitude is pretty common and natural with only childs and those who are the youngest in the family. lolz. :)

A spoiled brat? I wouldn't find a better definition to myself! :D
As you must have noticed, I'm not arrogant or anything, but I'm an only child, and almost my whole family AND my boyfriend's family spoil me a lot. I think I look like I enjoy being spoiled or something, who knows? Hehehe!

Ohhh my, this is one of my problem. I'm having a hard time to say those words with my boyfriend. I don't know why, maybe it's my pride? True, even if it's my fault I still don't ask for an apology with him. I just wait for him to say sorry, I feel guilty because he's one of the down to earth person. I know by myself that sometimes I make mistakes too. I just find it hard to say "I'm sorry" with him, I'm glad that he always understand how I feel.

hey there jencai. i understand that there are really people who have a hrad time saying sorry. before, i was really like that, even if i know that i was the one who did something wrong to my mom, i really wouldnt talk to her first. but then, when i grew older and i already had a boyfriend, i realized that it is really important to be able to admit mistakes and say sorry. lolz. :) you'll get over that somehow. :) mwah.

hi jlara,
sorry is a hard word for me. i can't really say sorry, specially when i know that i am not wrong. however, there have been occasions when i had to, just for the sake of making things up, even when i am not wrong.
i feel, sorry, however hard it may be, its very important to say it in the right situation. it can actually do wonders!!

yes, i know how you feel. it is really hard to say im sorry, as one love song goes. but if its our fault, we just have to say it. and you know what, we are brave when we know how to say sorry. :)

jlara, if I have entered into an argument and I do not see it ending soon.....I will say 'sorry' and apologise to end the argument,because I want to leave in peace...not in tension. Even if I am wrong...and I say 'sorry' to my partner...it is not going to make any difference...because in heart of my heart I knew I was right.

hehe, same here. whenever we fight and then its his fault that we fought, i dont really make the first move. i wait for him to make the first move of apologizing because in the first place, it was his fault. lolz. :)
