Tips On Handling A Spouse Who Doesn’t Know How To Apologize

People shy away from apologizing because they fear that apologizing could open the door for guilt and shame, hence one may have a spouse who doesn’t know how to apologize for big or minor infractions.

However, below are tips on how to live with unapologetic partners:

Prepare your mind to live with it

It might not sound sweet, but one recommendation from experts is that the spouses of such persons would have to prepare their minds to live with such a habit.

Talk to them about it later

Make it a friendly talk. Any marriage that works is because one party decided to work at it. The two partners do not usually have the benefit of the same experiences, but if you make up your mind to live together, do what you can, and talking about it is an option.

Involve a friend or someone they respect

 In case talking about it does not yield any result, the partner on the receiving end could talk to someone the spouse respects. This, he said, could help such persons to see things differently.

Help them to get knowledge

One other way to help such people is to help them get the right knowledge on such things. The partner could buy them books that address such; encourage them to attend seminars where such issues could be addressed; take them to religious houses, as applicable, and expose them to places where they would pick the right cues.

Don’t blame yourself for late discovery

Couples are not 100 per cent sincere to themselves during courtship. Everybody tries to put in their best and accommodate the other person’s shortcomings until they sign on the dotted lines. So you don’t need to regret your late discovery of  the character, that the spouse you live with doesn’t know how to apologize or say sorry, so you have to handle it maturely.
