Choose the right time and space
According to Psychology Today, an apology should be said when both are calm. Don't rush to apologize during arguments or when the other person is angry. A private, quiet space makes it easier for the other person to feel sincerity.
Looking straight at mistakes
A valid apology is when you dare to admit your mistakes without making false statements or blaming yourself. Don't say " you're sorry, but I'm also...". Focus on your bad behavior and clearly state how you understand how you have hurt the other person.
Showing understanding
Not only admitting loi, the person who apologizes needs to show empathy. Understanding how the other person feels - sadness, hurt, disappointment - will make them feel listened to and appreciated.
Showing desire to correct mistakes
An apology is not just a word but also comes with actions. Let them know you are trying to change so as not to repeat the old mistake. A promise with real effort can create new confidence.
Respect the other person's feelings
Don't rush to ask for forgiveness. The other person has the right to be angry, the right to remain silent. What you need to do is be patient and continue to show sincerity over time.
Turning an apology into action
Regardless of whether he forgave you or not, the most important thing is to keep your promise. Real change, live more kindly - that is the deepest and most lasting way to apologize in a relationship with love.
