    If a man is alone in the forest, and he says something and there is no woman to hear it, is he still wrong?

    Probably.

    Some people, men or women, they just feel they shouldn't have to apologize or admit fault. :( I'd actually know why they think the way they do, because then I could understand their actions better.

    if its his fault but he doesn't realise it i generally don't speak to him for a few days... we work and live together so its not fun! he's a stubborn bugger.... i always bloody apologise if i've done something wrong because i can actually see what ive done wrong!

    dude, you can't go putting a post titled "what is it about women?" and then rant about your wife and women in general (though I note that you understand not all women are like this) and not expect to get slightly ****ted on. Just saying...

    but to my point, I am definitely on the side of apologizing too much, especially with my boyfriend. when my feelings get hurt about things, I take a while to sort out what I'm actually feeling and why, and then I eventually tell him, but then I feel like I'm just overly sensitive so I end up apologizing for being so sensitive and getting so easily hurt and risking tension over nothing. so i'm still figuring out how to handle this conundrum. I end up getting upset about being upset and feeling like it's all my fault and doubting what I thought was right. So maybe you should be thankful that your wife can stick to her guns. maybe you wouldn't like the opposite end of the spectrum which is me....

    Edited. I made a sarcastic comment about being married. But I see that will offend the OP so I'll delete it. See how respect works?

    Most of the time "men nor women" don't apologize to their spouse because they do not feel they can trust them to forgive without critisisim Which to read your post I am guessing that is the issue here...just guessing. Maybe if you let her off the hook and forgive her without explaining why you were right she would feel more trust
    When a women or a man for that matter apologize they are making themselves vulnerable to correction.....when we feel it is unneccessary we clam up. No one want to be around a "know it all."
    Just food for thought....and you dont even have to log this food in! Calorie free!

    Men don't apologize much either, at least mine doesn't verbally. He does with his actions when he's wrong, and I apologize in words when I am. It's our human pride that gets in the way.

    I'm the most stubborn person i know. I will straight faced tell you the sky is effin purple and that the cows flew home. I'm never wrong even when i know i'm wrong. Common household objects get thrown around, there's yelling and stomping of the feet. I'm never wrong. I go to bed pissed off and don't you dare effin ask/tell me to have sex unless you want your balls tied up around your throat.

    then the next day when the storm blows over I'll laugh and apologize. Clearly i was wrong.

    I should note i'm divorced and have never made a relationship last longer than 4---4 years, 4 weeks, and the last one was about 4 months. But i've been to therapy and am in touch with my inner self--i got tired of replacing common household object.

    I loved this post.....

    As if I've just seen this thread after ive just been grovelling with apologies to my other half! Lol!

    I always apologise if I'm in the wrong - sometimes I apologise even if I'm not. Mainly to keep things happy or to take the flak fir someone's mistakes to save grace and harmony. :-)

    That makes them physically unable to apologize or admit when they are wrong???? And - for those of you out there who are all ready to be offended - I am WELL aware that not all women are like that. I am also WELL aware that I am an idiot and am wrong more often than not. This is not one of those times and yet, the wife slinks off to bed without so much as an apology or a good night. Very irritating.

    Sounds like it was your fault.

    :laugh:

    I don't think it is just women, becuase I know men who are like this too.

    I think it is more of a type of person that doesn't admit they are wrong....a stubborn person with too much pride.

    it's not just women. *I* apologize. and i'm teaching my kids to apologize ( sincerely) as well.

    my ex, and these are his exact words, " I don't believe in, 'I'm sorry'." he refused to say it. would never apologize for anything nor ever admit he was wrong. he would say " just don't get it wrong to begin with, " or " don't' make a mistake to begin with." he is a blame seeker. as in, there is ALWAYS someone to blame and it will NEVER be him. he's got my kids doing it too :-(

    sometimes, we have to admit we are wrong, we made the mistake, we messed up. we have to OWN our choices and accept the consequences. it really is as simple as that! and sometimes, we might know we are right, but it's a better choice to concede and let the other person feel good about themselves! at the end of the day there is no "winner" in who is right more often...........

    Sexism is very irritating as well

    That's obnoxious no matter what gender someone is.
