Saying you “are sorry” when you know you haven’t been the most loving person to the other is one way to never have to ask for a second chance from the person you love
I’m a high “F” in my typology. So what that means is that if my Feelings are deeply hurt, I begin to withdraw from trusting this person with my heart. My husband knows that I make decisions on how I feel about things.Today, he and I were preparing for a camping trip with our horses. We both were pretty stressed knowing we were way behind on getting the trailer ready, our clothes packed, horses bathed, hay, grain, tack and gear put in the trailer, groceries purchased and the other hundred things on our list checked off. So needless to say, we started getting on each other’s nerves and this is never a great ending for the day.

My husband did the sweetest thing while he was purchasing the groceries on the list. He bought a small potted plant to surprise me and show he was sorry for being short with me. This was something I totally unexpected. My reply was “how nice” and the first thing I told him afterward was, I should have bought you something too because I know that I was on my last nerve earlier.
If both people care about their relationship, there can’t be a winner and a loser.
If both people care about their relationship, there can’t be a winner and a loser. There can’t be a place for words such as “I told you so” or thoughts around “getting even”.
It is 11:00 pm before we leave in the morning with our horses. Even though today was unbelievably stressful getting everything pulled together we are both really looking forward to spending 4 quality days together. We both know that there will be times that we don’t show our love for each other. But the truth is we both know we don’t want to lose respect from the other.
Saying you “are sorry” when you know you haven’t been the most loving person to the other is one way to never have to ask for a second chance from the person you love.
Here’s wishing your relationship flourishes,
