Women say they are wrong all of the time. You just have to speak their language. Usually it's a smile, hug, kiss on the cheek. Basically showing affection for finding the right guy. If you are really, really right. Maybe a quick trip to Mexico.

Nope, just honest. I thought over the chat last night and some of the things she apologised for she didn't need to and some of what I said, after checking a few things this morning, was wrong.

I don't see why telling my wife that i'd made a mistake and was sorry for a couple of my comments makes me an alien, surely it makes me human.

I always apologise when I am wrong but being rather proud like you I need to stew a little first... I actually apologise quite often.

HOWEVER if I genuinely believe I am right you could stand me at the gates of hell and I would never,ever apologise. You would have to put a gun to my head or something equally violent. I am stubborn as hell and I am not apologising for something I have not done.

I almost got kicked out of school twice for refusing to "confess" and apologise because I had not done what I had been accused of. My Father realised how serious I was and thankfully believed me and the school had to back down.

There will be no gender bashing. This is not a man or woman issue. You may have different experiences with one person but that does not mean all men/women do the same thing.


My first husband had no idea how to even turn on an iron, does that mean no man knows how to iron? Nope..My second husband ironed his and my clothes for work not because he had to but because he like to iron. Same thing goes for admitting you are wrong. Some people do, some people don't

Im not one to say "I'm wrong," but I have no problem stating "you were/are right."





In all seriousness, I have no issues admitting when I'm wrong to anybody and I also have to admit, my husband is right most of the time.

Rarely, but I've learned that wrong vs. right is a battle that destroys relationships and that you can love a person, avoid the battles and gain or keep mutual respect in your relationship at zero personal cost and great benefit to both of us.

It's rare event! It does happen though, and when I'm wrong I have no issue admitting it and offering an apology.

Now, if I say "you're right dear, you are right and I am wrong" then no...I still think he's wrong and I do that just to end the discussion (you payin' attention WF...I pulled the same thing with you! lol).

The crocodile is NEVER wrong. His women have a difference in opinion and a skewed perspective.

Heck I'll admit I'm wrong and apologise even if I wasn't just to keep the peace. It's important to know when to pick your fights
