Why Men Can't Apologize

Why Men Can't Apologize

Doesn't it make you feel better when someone gives a heartfelt apology? So much meaning is contained in those two words "I'm sorry"; they're verbal honey. You know they're sorry that they hurt or upset you. They've given it thought. They want you to feel better. These things are important to smooth over the bumps in a relationship.

So why is sorry such a tough word for many men to say? A friend, Tanya, 41, had a typical experience after a row caused by her husband. He was often tardy, and the last straw was him being late for her best friend's 40th birthday party. Tanya was left hanging around in the foyer of the hotel where the party was being held.
