Would you say sorry even if it was not your fault just to save a relationship?
Out of cursiosity, how many would say sorry to something even if it is not his/her fault just to save a relationship?
Whether a close relationship or even just a friend relationship, I have often said I’m sorry though it’s not been my fault – but the way I say it is that I’m sorry if what I did/said upset you but … and then explain – assuming my friend/partner would listen of course but as far as apologising for something I’ve not done, then no I wouldn’t. The problem, you see, is that sometimes the other side sees things differently – human nature I guess. Depends how close the relationship is and how much you value it as to how far you would go to apologise and/or take blame. After all, communication with each other is SO important for ANY relationship to succeed, don’t you agree?
Just my 2 pence worth anyway.
