Depends on the perspective. A person can apologize and do the right thing but the person receiving the apology can decide whether it's worth accepting.

Someone doesn't need to accept an apology.....im just saying it's right to at least apologize if you wrong someone. It also doesn't mean it fixes anything.....its just not wrong to do.

You are right. It's absolutely the right thing to do if you you truly are sorry.

We all f up. There’s no apology I won’t accept and nothing I won’t forgive. I’m a Christian so my faith has a lot to do with it though. I’m forgiven so why wouldn’t I forgive. Life’s too short to hold grudges. Just because you forgive doesn’t mean you have to let that person continue to hurt you or walk on you. Xoxox

I always told my children to not apologize until they are truly sorry. I told them that to do so is a lie, and lying is just as bad as the offense. Then I would send them to their room to play and think about it. They would come back later with an "Im sorry." and we would discuss more efficient and less aggravating ways to make their point. I only apologize if I actually feel remorseful. If I don't apologize, I'm probably not sorry.

On the flip side, I don't need an apology to forgive. I generally forget the offenders mistakes within a few hours to a few days, depending on severity. There is one person I have never forgiven.. but I doubt most in my situation would. Other than that.. EH.. Life is screwy anyways. Why harp on the nonsense. We've all done something stupid.

It depends on what it is. Some things an apology will never suffice. I forgive pretty easy accept two things.. leaving empty milk jug in the fridge and eating the last brownie.

They mean nothing especially if someone has said or done something to intentionally hurt me.
I can forgive but I will not forget how you made me feel.
Nah shove it up your jacksie and go take your apologies to someone who cares.

I apologize for chit I do, haven't done and things I'm about to do.

It's good to keep 'em guessing.

.... and always ask: do you accept my apology?

If they say: yes .... just take it as permission to do it again.

There's a lot that can play into this... is it the first time this happened or is the same person apologizing for the same thing over and over? Was it something said during the heat of the moment or was it obvious they said it to hurt you? I can't never say I'll never forgive or I'll always forgive. It just depends on the situation.
