I don’t feel anyone ‘owes’ me anything, however, IFsomeone is truly a friend or otherwise cares about a relationship with me they will freely offer, unprompted, an apology in good will and out of respect for whatever I have confronted them with.
Better yet, they’d catch themselves before they needed to issue an apology. haha
I let go of a 7 yr. ‘friend’ 5 months ago after her manipulative and dishonest little ways were becoming too glaringly obvious to deny. lol
The first clue that my decision to end the friendship was right on, was her complete and utter inability to simply say ” I’m sorry, I’ll pay attention to that in the future”.
Instead she just dug her grave even deeper with several manipulative ploys. Nope, busted and your reaction has told me all I need to know.
I apologize easily and swiftly if I feel I may have made some sort of minor blunder. I can hear and own what someone says to me even if it stings a little or I have to think think about it.
I do NOT play mind games, lie, cheat, manipulate or otherwise have any major character defects and I don’t tolerate character defects even with an apology.
