You can say, "I understand if you were not aware, but your actions hurt me. I appreciate your understanding and respecting my feelings."
When a person asks for an apology, they should be direct. A person has to make sure that it is the right time to ask for the apology. They should also be ready to explain why they want an apology.
That's not an answer that can or should be answered in a forum such as this. You should take that question to a marriage counselor and have the proper kind of theraputic discussion that deals with your concern. You won't be able to repair the relationship without professional help. Unfortunately, you may not be able to repair it then. Yes. If an apology is not freely given, then it is not an apology. The person is merely saying what you insist on hearing. In any case, a self examination as to your arrest and the cause would be worth your time. Logically, it seems that if you were arrested, the police saw threatening behavior occurring. Often a third person (therapist or other counselor) can shorten the time and effort necessary to do this by asking pertinent questions. Admittedly, most in your position would be feeling defensive, but if you go with an open mind, on your own, perhaps you can sort it out. Otherwise, your respect for the issue and your partner's feelings is non-existent and the relationship is surely doomed.
apologize to her and tell her you were wrong and would like a second chance.AnswerA true apology would not include asking for a second chance or blaming her for the issue. If she is due an apology, give her one. Perhaps you might be friends again, but do not plan on it as an immediate thing. It also takes time to repair a friendship.
You can simply say, "I appreciate your apology, but I'm not ready to accept it at this time." It's important to communicate your feelings honestly and respectfully.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING THIS QUESTION
Sometimes things are too serious for an apology. For example, if I bullied you for months, it is too serious for you to accept my apology. Sometimes the passage of time reduces the emotional aspect enough to settle things amicably.
They were dissimilar in almost every respect, except they took place at the same time.
Of course, it is to earn it over time, and ALWAYS EXPECT AND DEMAND respect.
Yes it is, an alternative way of asking the same question would be "What time do you make it?".
Think about the question that you are asking ... respect comes from both sides , however being the younger one out of parents, grand-parents, aunt's, uncle, ect. you must show respect because you would want them to respect you ... its just like first time college experience, you respect your room mate because you would want that same treatment back. some times you have to show someone that its a better way to treat people...by showing common courtesy respect , you give off a better opportunity of getting respect well deserved ....
* Good friends don't keep saying things to you that are hurtful and upsetting to you. You should communicate your feelings to your friend and let them know what things they are saying that hurt you. You can't ask for an apology because it would mean nothing and it's up to that person after you have talked to them to apology to you on their own. If this doesn't happen and your friend continues their behavior then consider this ...'if a person makes you feel miserable 85% of the time in your relationship you need to move on from them.' The reason for this attitude is if that person refuses to respect you enough to change their attitude towards you then they will drain all your energy and you won't have enough energy left for those that do respect and love you. It isn't how many years you have known the person, but the trust and respect each of you give each other.
