"Depends on my relationship to them. If it's someone I care about, happy to say sorry and mend things.
If it's my ex husband, I'm less willing."
I’ve not said sorry to my ex once since I asked him to leave. It’s great now the children are grown up & I have virtually no communication at all.
With anyone else, I only say sorry if I genuinely am. I don’t do lip service

I say sorry all the time.
But when a conversation is needed to accept responsibility I use every single word available in the English language before sorry.. It doesn't hold the weight. Sorry is for accidents, connecting in a conversation and repairing the relationships takes more than a sorry |

I’m pretty proud/ stubborn and will stand my ground but being a scientist I pride myself on changing my opinion when new information comes to light. Something I find people lack in today’s world, especially being so entrenched politically etc. long answer shortened: yes I will apologise when it’s right. Always maintain my manners |

Erm. If I'm wrong and an apology is the right thing to do, then I'll make sure it happens. An apology can be more than saying sorry, it's not repeating the action. That's how I try to show it anyway. It might take me a bit of time to get there but most of the time it happens.
Stubborn as anything when I know the other person is wrong/lying.  |

I'm the first to apologise when I realise I'm in the wrong.
The issue sometimes is I don't realise I was in the wrong. People interpret things so differently. I always tell people to call me out if I upset them....I'd rather know and put it right.

I say it about 20 times when I'm out shopping. I always assume I'm in everyone's way. When I was young and I did something wrong without intent I would just say with sarcasm "Sorry, I'm not perfect". When I toured France, Germany and Spain the first words I wanted to learn were sorry and thank you.
