Here Are Reasons Why Men Never Apologize Or Say Sorry

You’re hoping he’ll say sorry for what he did, so you can finally move on from this misunderstanding and start fresh. Okay, so don’t get your hopes up.

What women have suspected for a long time is confirmed by research: men have problems pronouncing the letter “S.”

So what if you apologize? An apology has the incredible potential to validate emotions, heal wounds, mend relationships, reduce stress, get rid of resentment, and foster forgiveness. With such a variety of obvious benefits to learning how to apologize, why are males so resistant to doing so?.

Here are reasons why your boyfriend or husband never apologizes.

Firstly, he doesn’t believe he needs to apologize to you

Study says men are hesitant to acknowledge wrongdoing. The difference is that men have a “higher threshold” for determining when an apology is needed

It makes him feel weak and incompetent to be forced to say sorry

He thinks men have trouble apologizing because it forces them to step outside of their comfort zone. Apologies are seen as embarrassing and a loss of face by most men. Apologizing can make a man feel less important in the eyes of those he’s wronged.

And that’s especially true for the women they adore, who ideally see them in a heroic light. Never mind that his refusal to apologize tells you that he values his pride more than your feelings and that he would rather have you be the one left feeling horrible than himself.

He has a lot of feelings associated with having to say sorry

Some men feel pressured to “man up” and apologize so frequently as children for minor offenses with their siblings (or whatever), that as adults they decide to never say they’re sorry again. Or perhaps your partner has had unpleasant experiences in the past where apologizing and asking for forgiveness resulted in a fight rather than an accepted apology.

What to do if your boyfriend or husband refuses to say sorry.

Is there anything you can say or do to make him realize how much he’s hurting you? These suggestions may convince him.

Give him a signal

Don’t dwell on the hurtful things your partner has said or done. Always keep in mind that he might not see the issue the same way you do or agree that an apology is in need.

Tell him what occurred, how you feel, and that you’d greatly welcome an apology; don’t assume he can read your mind or emotions. Then, one can only wish for the best.

Don’t ask them to say sorry

If someone isn’t willing to say sorry, trying to force them to do so will only make you more upset and angry. Also, you might end up feeling even worse if you tried to force him to apologize. If it isn’t from the heart, it’s not worth it.

When he apologizes, accept it with grace.

Stop being such a downer. Put off an argument. Put him in the position of having to beg. You may never hear another “I’m sorry” from him if you try to use this as a teaching moment.

Your best response is just two words: “I’m sorry,” followed by a hug. Once he sees how much you appreciate the apology, he’ll be more likely to apologize again and again.
