Like this one I gave to my husband, "I'm sorry you were waiting for me and I made us late, but you didn't tell me you were going to the car. I thought you were still getting ready to go." That's not an apology, it's an accusation! Needless to say, it did not go over well. Thanks for your list of 10. I should post it on my mirror!

Had a blow out w the Hubby this past week, he said something very unkind. Took forever for the apology, it was weak and insincere. Ended with "but..." and I left! Like really left, with a bag! Next apology was more heart-felt but excuses and justifications. I started looking for another place to live. Final apology was all of the above--luckily for him, he has other qualities. Never underestimate the value of a great apology. Sometimes the other person is just dying to forgive you! :) Good stuff! Had a blow out w the Hubby this past week, he said something very unkind.
