Discussion Points:
What do you see as the problem with the apologies of emotionally immature men/narcissists
How men turn comments from their spouse into feeling offended/all about him
She seeks a connection, and he just wants her to shut up and leave him alone
We’ve all been taught from childhood, “You apologize right now, and say it like you mean it!”
How “bad apologies’ only serve to make the woman feel small, and as if she is the one who needs fixing
Asking “When will you forgive me?” - Is it ever appropriate?
When a woman displays loyalty, “I’m still here, I still love you,” etc.. the man has a window of opportunity
How should a “healthy apology” sound?
