Question

Help answer this question below.

If someone actually said "I'm sorry" but didn't admit any form of wrongdoing, would you consider that a real apology? Should an apology always include an admission of guilt, with no justification for the wrongdoing?

    Being that getting some people to even say they are sorry is a big deal. I would be happy with that. although I have to agree that it would be nice to know that they honestly admitted to being wrong or doing wrong.

    An apology should be sincere, however you phrase it.

    Just saying the right words doesn't cut it.

    What's even better is when they ask if you can forgive them. That way it puts the ball back in your court making it your decision to say the right thing.

    Well you must know why they are apologizing so they don't want to say more than they have to. I would accept it the first time. No third chances though.
