I got a new car a month or so ago and put my ez tag on. Afterwards, I started getting toll violation bills from Harris County. My husband changed my license plate number on our account and tells me all is well. So yesterday I received more toll violations. I gave them to him this morning because it was taken care of or so I thought! He was such a jerk. He's complaining about the amount like it was my fault!!! I told him "hey, you told you had this set up and I started using the tolls again so don't be mad at me" and I walked out the door. I was so mad at him! So I got to work and looked at my phone and had a message from him. He apologized! He was so sweet on the message, said he took care of it that actually he had changed the number but hadn't activated the account and he was sorry he was such a jerk to me.
So my question is, when your husband does something wrong, will he apologize?
He just called again to make sure I got his message! He told me that the toll people just tracked him down and told him that the ez tags aren't transferrable. You have to get a new tag if you get a new car. So, he told me he was going to go to their office at lunch and get me the tag so I would have it!!! !He is really good about apologizing and so am I. We have been married for 25 years so we are doing something right!! Yep, he's a keeper!!!
Yes - he will, he is actually pretty good at looking at things objectively and admitting when he is wrong! He is amazing!!
My husband has apologized with the words "I'm sorry" once. We have been married 8 years and together for 12. He doesn't like to say it. He shows it. He does the dishes, he cleans up the living room, he takes the kids out and shoots balls at them. He is a do-er. I hate it. I wish he could just say, you were right, I was wrong. I have learned to read it though and understand that THAT is his way of saying he's sorry. It is nice to have a cleaner house!
L.
Yes. Always.
Truth be told, he doesn't do much to apologize for. I'm very blessed.
He's actually way better at it than I am. I can''t stand the taste of crow!
Absolutely! My hubby was being a bit of a butthead yesterday morning and he called me later to say he was sorry. We always say we're sorry to eachother when we mess up. He even apologized to our 4 year old daughter when we all got home yesterday for being so grumpy in the morning.
Usually. As long as I remain calm and don't go on the attack. I make my case and let him know how I feel, and I listen to his side of it, and then I let it go. If I'm still pissed off, I don't engage any further. If I hurt his feelings or did wrong myself, I apologize right up front. And I never, ever demand an apology.
It took a bunch of years of marriage to figure this out. :-)
Rarely- my husband has a very hard time seeing other people's perspectives and usually sees his point of view as the "right" one regardless of the situation. It's actually pretty frustrating, but we talk openly about it and now that he's a parent he's much better at apologizing.
Hi S.,
Yes, there have been times that when my husband has done something wrong that he has apologized for. It still surprises me when he does, but it also helps our relationship get better. I'm happy to hear that your husband apologized to you.:o)
I. K.
I apologize. An apology just means you made a mistake and are admitting it. I don't like doing it, but I don't like being wrong either. And not apologizing makes the wrong last longer. YUK!!!
Besides I only know of one man that never made a mistake and I celebrate his birthday at Christmas every year.
Good luck to you and yours.
You know, when I act the way that you did (matter of fact and calm) he will eventually apologize. If it gets to a heated argument, forget it, he will never apologize if he sees it as a "battle".
My husband rarely says "I'm sorry", but instead will do something that expresses an apology. He'll say or do something nice, or change his attitude. My grandmother called it extending the olive branch. I accept what he offers as an apology because I know the actual words don't come easy for him.
Yes. Thank goodness!
I don’t remember him ever apologizing and its something that’s taking a toll on our marriage from my perspective; I feel like he believes it’s my fault for getting upset in the first place and has a very “just get over it” attitude.
What a good boy.
Mine will bring me flowers when he has been stupid. I say that tongue in cheek, he is not a stupid man but sometimes........................
How sweet!! My husband apologizes when he's wrong or said something wrong...it may take him a day or two - sometimes it's right away...depends upon what it is!!
Wow! good for him! My husband RARELY apologizes. His favorite statement is "I'm sorry we were fighting" - uh-huh.....
But on occasion when he's really messed up and he knows it, he will apologize.
Yes, and I even make him do it twice since it doesn't happen very often. When he says " I'm sorry I was wrong" I am alway like what I didn't hear you can you say it again? ;)
Yes. He always apologizes and that's one of many things that make our marriage so great. So glad to hear you have reconciled.
My husband and I apologize to one another quite often.
Of course! That's how it works, isn't it?
We Both do :-) some times its Very hard, but we manage to do it! LOL
glad he was so sweet and realized he was a Jerk!
yes mine does ALL the time, lol
