Do you think you know everything when you dive into a relationship?

When things are falling apart and passion cools down, you would be entirely lost and hurt!

However, the best apology can save a relationship. Astro Ulagam found the best apology just for you.

1) Don't Apologize For Someone Else’s Feelings

It's condescending when you say “I’m sorry you’re mad,” because it’s not an apology. Instead, say “I’m sorry I was rude,” because a sincere apology takes ownership.

2) Don’t Add Excuses To Your Apology

“I’m sorry I was rude but I was very irritated,” which means you feel justified for the way you acted. Instead, just say “I’m sorry, will you forgive me?” which shows that it’s a humble request. Don’t be agitated if you are not forgiven but be grateful when you receive it.

3) Don’t Expect A Reciprocal Apology

Don’t expect an apology just because you apologized even if your partner is at fault. Just own your part and apologize. Also, be wise and take the next step by asking “Is there anything I can do to make it right?”
