re: Why is it impossible for a woman to say sorry?

I think that when it comes to apologizing in a relationship- women want their man to understand the impact that whatever was said or done- had on her.
Whereas men- are simpler in that aspect and not as emotionally driven so an apology for the words/deeds is sufficient for them.
Correct me if I’m wrong- but I think it largely boils down to men and women communicate differently.

Accountability and women are like oil and water.

Men and women absolutely communicate differently and you hit on what is the biggest contributing factor - emotions.
I’m in a very unique situation where my SO’s lifelong best friend is my coworker. She’ll check me when I’m being an a-hole, but she’ll also tell me when my SO says things like “yea we’re in a fight about x. I know I’m wrong, but I can’t let him be right all the time bc that’s not fair”

That’s pretty effed up. I hope that’s the exception and not the rule for y’all- I hope that’s not a common occurrence is what I’m trying to say.

Totally agree. I’m by no means without fault, but I’m aware of it and will apologize when shown it.
The only time I’ll push for a true apology and not just shrug some silliness off is if it really bothered/offended me and I want the person to know it did and why so we can both avoid it in the future.

I say sorry more often than I feel sorry.
I also tell him he’s right when I don’t think he is.

Tried and true method when it’s over something insignificant or I don’t have the time or energy to argue

Way more succinct way of summing up everything I’ve said above.
That you, Mrs. Kvothe?

lol that’s the opposite of what you’re saying.
If he’s right I say he’s right. If he’s wrong I still say he’s right half the time because it’ll start an argument otherwise.
I’m very conflict averse.

Currently kind of chatting with a lady and all she does is apologize. It’s odd honestly.
Posted on 6/1/25 at 10:43 am to CatsGoneWild
The worst is when they finally acknowledge their error, but make it sound like they are the victim. Women are the ultimate gaslighters.

When you prove they are wrong and they still dont like it then it was your "tone". This even applies to text messages somehow.
Posted on 6/1/25 at 10:56 am to Locoguan0
You ever try to tell them they are gaslighting you? Gaslighting is only real when they are the victim. Otherwise it’s an outrageous concept that offends at the mere mention of the word

I suspect there are many women who subscribe to this theory (quote):
Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional." - Brigitte Nicole
For me, as a male, I subscribe to this. The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest.
