Have you ever apologized even when the other person is the person who made the mistake?

March 30, 2017 6:55pm CST
This is my most important current dilemma (it's a personal matter so, I didn't describe it here in the topic) at the moment. The person was wrong and didn't apologize. I tried to go over and forget. Then, the person misses again... So, what now? Would you excuse yourself?

Even when the person was at fault you tried to go over and forget, that was great of you. My spirituality tells me that you should forgive again even if the person doesn't apologize.

@franxav So, do you think I should go find the person and talk again?

Many of us do apologize when it is not our fault just to keep the peace. It is probably what many people do in one way or another.

I do, all the time. It's how I was brought up. Certain household member could not stand responsibility so everything is someone else's fault. He'd spill something, I'd apologize for distracting him and making him spill. In your case though, I think I would need more details. If you don't want to say it's alright, but if it makes sense to do so - maybe ask your friend why they keep doing - whatever is?

I've tried, but that doesn't work mostly because the other person thinks that we're stupid. You can forgive but forgiveness doesn't mean trusting or getting fooled again and again. But still... Be kind.

@ShifaLk "I've tried, but that doesn't work mostly because the other person thinks that we're stupid." That's the main problem.

@ShifaLk Even with heart pain, that's what I'm going to do.

@TheInvisibleMan Really! But just forgive n move bro. Let the person realise so that he/she doesn't repeat it. Please. Otherwise it's gonna hurt you because the person will keep repeating. Trust me :(

I think you have to just let go of it and give some time to the other person to realize who's mistake it is. So you don't have to apologize. If you do so things might get even worse, that every time something happens you might get used to say sorry. Just forget it. That's the best way.

I used to do that, but no any more, why should I apologize if I am not wrong?

People may think I am stubborn but I refuse to apologize when I am not wrong. But If I am I have no problem saying so.

I apologize with my mom when we argued once even if it's her fault because I cannot stand having a misunderstanding with her.
