What does you have him whipped mean?
I tell him he is free to do as he pleases. I never tell him what he can or cant do he said he is over his past of partying all the time and wants to get married and have kids..
My boyfriend and I had a serious fight, he managed to apologize, but we haven't called each other since. What should I do? Should I call him first?
Actually whoever go first is not the point, what really matter is that both of you have the right attitude toward this fight, the attitude of solving problem together rather than waiting for apologize and wondering how to win the other on this “battle”. As long as you two do care about each other and take this relationship seriously, you don’t have to be bothered by the question that who should go first.There is no fight between the couples that could not solved by sitting and talking peacefully, if you two are not annoying person. Talk to him directly what is your opinion about this thing and analyze the situation you two are trapped in, and analyze if the fight is inevitable if you two could have faced the problem together and solved it in any way but fighting . And analyze is the thing that serious to lead a fight? One thing to notice, during the process, control your temper, your aim is to solve a problem, not make another one. Forget about who is wrong and who is right, and never take the fight or the belated apologize as the signal that he is not that into you or he don’t pay that attention to me as he used to. It has nothing to do with love. It will add fuel to the flames if you suspect his love at that moment.
If your partner hits you once and apologizes immediately, should you still be wary of him/her hitting you again? Can this wariness have a negative affect on your relationship in the future?
I am going to share this with all of you and it something I am not proud of. I am a tall, strong girl. I have done physical labor most of my life and grew up with brothers. To be it bluntly, I know how to handle myself. For a number of years I struggled with some anger issues (which I have been able to overcome)I was very rough on my husband for years and when I lost my temper I would frequently slap him, kick him, and even punch him. I gave him more than one black eye. I am truly ashamed. Finally one time he had enough and defended himself after a beating I gave him! I ended up calling the police knowing I was the instigator and had hit him plenty of times before and he ended up going to jail despite getting the worse end of it. Even worse, he lost for a long time his reputation where we lived for something I instigated but I was too ashamed to say anything for years.We split up for a while and then sought counseling together. I learned how to overcome my anger and we have been together for a number of years since and it is rare for us to even have an argument. So yes people can change but it takes a lot of work. I don’t agree with this if it happens once leave always. I think it depends on the circumstance. If you have been with someone, 20 years and a slap occurs does that mean you should end the relationship? I don’t think so. Obviously if something were to occur more than once than it is a pattern.Sometimes people make mistakes, big ones but it doesn’t mean they can’t change. I know I did and I will see this in fairness to males out there. A lot of women are hitting men too and there aren’t any real resources for you guys. That’s not right either.
How can you apologize without actually saying the words "I'm sorry" or being apologetic?
There are some great answers in this thread about how best to take responsibility when you ARE sorry, but one way to read the question is to say 'sorry' without saying it because you actually aren't sorry at all. That often happened to me as an HR VP for a big consumer company. Consumers and staff would complain bitterly to us all the time for things that weren't our fault at all. There are lots of ways to sound empathetic without being sorry. Sometimes I'd try something like:"Wow, I can understand that was really frustrating. Anyone could be upset. Is there something we can do to help?" Even if it is your mistake, something like "That shouldn't have happened. What a mistake. Let's see if we can find a way to fix it," could work in many cases. People most of all want to be heard and hear that they've been heard and something is going to be done about it soon. If you encounter someone who say's "I want an apology" then you can say, "I'm going to look into that right away, but let's see what we can do toward making things better right now." If they hammer away demanding an apology when you've investigated or listened and decided it isn't your fault, then I say the weaselly thing - "I'm really sorry this has affected you the way it has. It's really too bad it's made you feel so upset. I really understand you feel awful." (Never say, 'I know how you feel - you don't and they'll be angry about THAT.) But, believe it, I am sorry for people like this, just not sorry for anything I did. With practice, you can use these phrases with genuine meaning and not put your foot in the wrong spot by saying you know how they feel or apologizing for something you didn't do.
An Asian lady called me a "hato", what does this mean?
Earlier today my dog had ran out of the house to the sidewalk ad there was an Asian old lady walking which my dog chased, she began to run from my dog like a maniac from fear till I managed to catch him and apologized to her. As soon as I apologized she said "Hato" in a stressed manner and walked away. What does that mean? "Hato" "hoto" not sure how its written but sounded like that.
For those who manage to win over a Sagittarius' heart and keep it....?
my friend's answer "keep up with them. understand why they see life as an adventure filled with discoveries. consider honesty as an important trait, and frankness as a positive criticism. show him your goals, and he'll push you to reach it. tell him if he has made a mistake, at first he'll deny it, then out of honesty he'll apologize for it. he may run with speed, but he'll always come back for you if you got left behind. a sag is one partner that if he finds the one, he will never let go of her."
How did my boyfriend manage to forgive me so easily and quickly?
Some people are really very forgiving think of it as positive thing.He clearly thought you were more important than his male ego,and your mistake.He wanted to give you a chance to be a better person that you are .Change and evolve as the best you can be,that’s exactly why he decided to forgive you and take you back. Most importantly he wants to be with you and also he does trust you.
Heartbreak.robbed.work.. How do I write a apology letter to co-workers?
Ok. so we had our housewarming party after We moved into out new place. The next day he ripped my heart out and left me because he couldn't promise me he wouldn't be able to control the urge to cheat on me. Blah blah blah moving forward to the next day. My boss/friend showed up to keep me busy and he basically dragged me around with him all day and i was too scared to lose it in front of him cause he's not the mushy type and would tell me to get over it. Fast forward a little bit later in the evening and I'm about to head home but stop in the bar to see some friends and just sit so I didn't have to go home. I started to cry and get kinda worked up and I knew I just couldn't handle working with the public yet and I sent my boss a text message(which I knew was against policy) and by the time I got it together, I went outside to call him back and then got mugged. Took my phone. So I had no way of contacting anyone and by the time I got home from the police department it was so late, I was scared, I was heartbroken. I was up all night until the store and bank opened. Got my phone and called work. I was hysterically apologizing and trying to catch my breath. Basically I was told to take the week and keep my boss posted. I understand I stuck people in a really huge pickle for what had happened but I just could not deal with it. So now I'm suspended without pay and everyone including my boss has expressed there disappointment in me and I feel horrible because I've been with the company over 5 years and I've never done anything like this. They said I'm skating on thin ice and I'm lucky I'm not fired. They are writing me up for multiple things even from stuff that happened before any of this went down. They want me to apologize to everyone with the company (who also threw me under the bus because they were mad about my new promotion and I wasn't there to work) how do I do this even though I really only feel bad for the employees not the bus driving managers.
