Why do guys find it so hard to admit or own that they have hurt a girl?

WriterDreams

Be it saying the wrong thing, or using the wrong word or some misunderstanding thing or outright insults (received from previous men not current) how is it that men find it so hard to say; dang, I really hurt her. I should say sorry.

How come they all have acted like it's my fault for feeling hurt?

Example: I was in a car with a guy, just friends. (I wasn't romantic with neither side was) and his mother who sat and let his mom insult me endlessly the whole drive.

We'd been friends for 8 years.

He then added to me saying how hurt I was by saying I had a temper. Something I told him I didn't like because having a temper is putting your baby sister in hospital because the mother ask you to do the dishes. As my brother did to me often. That is having a temper not calmly stating someone's words were hurtful.

So I left and after a while I came back to sort out the friendship.

Unfortunately he just called me more names and acted like I'd hurt him for taking some time.

Why wasn't he more inclined to admit he'd hurt me and I was valid to be upset?
