Is It True That Men Find It Hard To Apologize Than Women?

Have you ever wondered why the phrase as short and as simple as “I’m sorry” is so difficult for people to utter whether in marriage or in professional relationships? 

Reports have it that its extremely difficult for some people to say I’m sorry and then it takes humility to admit mistakes even though that word can prevent violent temper and unnecessary  difficulty in relationships.

The truth Is that a lot of relationship could have been saved…and a lot of couples could have saved themselves much pain, agonies and tension in their relationship if only they know how to get the three words easily..”im sorry’

I have a few friends whom whenever they go wrong in a misunderstanding, they would never come around to apologize. They simply find another alternative to apologizing to you… they either continue on the next day like nothing happened or they get a gift to divert your attention from the issues. You can never get them to say I’m sorry because they let their ego get in the way and popular research has it that the problem is peculiar with men and that men more  problems saying sorry to their wives even when they are wrong or at fault than women…. Is it true?

Sometimes people feel an apology is in order only when they are 100% at fault, so when two people say bad things to each other, when is it appropriate to say sorry..should it be done that same day or a day or two when you mentally think the dust should have settled on the otherside with the next person?

How do you deal with a partner who finds it a problem to apologize or he/she finds it embarrassing to admit that they are wrong?

It’s a  serious issue in homes and society. This problem isn’t just limited to marriages, bosses find it difficult to apologize to their subordinates or employees whereas the word “ im sorry” though simple can basically ease the tension. So why do people find it difficult to say sorry?

Is it a problem with men alone? Do women fall into same problem?

How can sorry help us build a healthy and solid relationship with others since we all err.?

Should we say sorry only when we are at fault?

Is it even wise for women to always extend an olive branch all the time in marriage even when its glaring to everyone that she is not at fault, just so she saves her marriage?

Ladies, would you always apologize even when you know you not the one at fault so that you save your marriage?

You know that your man finds it difficult to admits his mistakes all  the time and in the process you hurt emotionally but just so that your children don’t perceive a tensed atmosphere, would you always apologize to keep it going, knowing that incidence will futuristically occur like this…?
