How hard it is for you to say sorry when you're sure it's NOT your mistake? (but everybody agreed it's yours and that you have to apologize)

If after really reviewing what happened and trying to be honest with myself, I saw that I did not make a mistake, I would not apologize. Apologizing would be admitting I did something wrong. I might say something like, I'm sorry that this situation has come to this. Instead, I would talk with the people to try to reason with them. If they didn't listen, I would know that I did my part and then walk away.

it happens all the time here. i have learned that one of the secrets to staying married is to say i am sorry. sometimes i don't even know what i am apologizing for but i say i am sorry anyway. seems to work. the few times she sensed i didn't know why i was sorry, i lucked out and really knew why. but she asks every so often.

Been there done that...it sucks but sometimes you have to just agree to disagree

I will apologize for upsetting people, but I sure as heck am not apologizing for something I did not do because it's not a truthful statement anyway.

If I know I am right I will not apologize, it's like Brenda said sometimes you have to agree to disagree.

It is not, because I know I do not mean it. Ofcouse it would piss me off if people still cannot get over it after I have said sorry. If they keep remembering me of the fact I was wrong while I still believe that I was right I would certainly take my sorry back eventually.

It is very hard when you basically are apologizing for something you did not do. It is hard to turn the other cheek and take the high road.

Had to that a few times! I just accept that the other people believe they are right (or ignoring the fact I am right) and instead of getting angry or annoyed, I wait for karma to deal out it's punishment - I firmly believe whatever karma serves up, it will always hurt a whole lot more than anything I could ever dish out.

If it is not my mistake I would find it impossible to apologise.
