Have you ever hurt someone you cared about unintentionally? How did you apologise to them?

Unintentionally, yes, however as soon as I'm aware of it I'll address it (1) very directly and (2) with the intention for immediate resolution. I don't believe in dragging things out or letting a problem fester at all. I want clarity and transparency. And if that's not enough and the person wants to hold a grudge, then so be it. And if silence has to follow afterwards, then so be it. I rest easy knowing I've done the right thing.

Yes I have. And yes I apologized several times for it via text and phone calls. We ended up breaking up over it but we ended up getting back together.

As a relationship coach, I aim to help people navigate these waters. I've definitely been there, unintentionally stepping on emotional toes. My go-to strategy is a heartfelt apology with a dash of humor to lighten the mood. I'm all about openly expressing my regrets and committing to understanding their feelings better. Love can be messy, but communication is the backbone of healing. 😊✨

Yes. Unintentionally. You really can't. It is something that is earned back through behavior. Trust will never be the same.

[Asker]

I agree broken trust is hard to mend

[FreyaRed]

Yes, I said sorry and bought a gift. I explained how it came to that mistake and apologized for my inability to predict such reaction. However I do it only for persons I care and there isn't many of them.

Yes, I wrote a letter to her and apologised for my behaviour

Once. I accidentally bopped a girlfriend on the nose while I was taking a measurement in one of my rooms. I was extending out the tape measurer and she walked into my hand while extending it outwards. It hurt her but she also laughed. It caught me completely off guard feeling my hand make contact with something. I turn quickly seeing her grab her nose teary eyes but laughing at the same time.

I did. I didn't apologize. And I won't. The only time this happened is when they ask for my opinion and I gave them the Honesty warning and they still say yes.

[dustybiker2]

Been there too.

[MemeSupreme]

yeah i don't always react the same way but i am very apologetic

Kind of. I never got complete confirmation, but I think I accidentally rejected someone I had a massive crush on. It makes everything after make much more sense. I tried starting to apologize, but she refused to start real dialog with me.

[Asker]

How did you try to apologise and how do you know she refused? If it was unintentional and if you really had a crush on her, she might be open to listen if it’s honest.

I guess I tried sending her love letter, but I didn't consider it that at the time. I was more trying to normalize things. It was hastily written and sent. Her response was non verbal and clear. If she wanted to talk me, she should know she has to reach out.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, very unintentionally. I hated it because I know my words cut occasionally.

[McSteamy]

Yes I did and apologised too. But she's offline for couple of months now. I miss her presence online.

[qwerty2469]

Intentionally. I've never apologized in my life. Im not sorry. I meant it, or i wouldn't have done it.

[Jeanne_neko]

Happens a lot with me really and in the end i apologize while crying :( because i regret hurting them a lot

[anon1903]

I never got to. She ran

[an_nMary]

I did, but he was aware it’s unintentional

[Anonymous]
