subject: 4 Reasons Apologizing Helps Win Your Ex Back - Even If You Were Not The One Who Cheated [print this page] You don't have to be the one who cheated to end the relationship in order to take the right step to save your marriage in the end. Cheating can destroy relationships. There's no doubt about that at all. There is doubt about the fact that the cheater is the only one who has anything to apologize for. Here are four reasons it's a good idea to apologize even though you weren't the one who cheated.
1)No one is perfect. It really is that simple. You need no reason beyond that to apologize. No matter how great the relationship was or how good you tried to be to your ex there are some things you did in the relationship that caused strife or just drove your ex up a wall. Apologizing acknowledges that you may have contributed to the problems in the relationship and accepts responsibility for the role you did play.
2)Acknowledge the damage done. Validate their feelings and the recipient begins to sense that you understand the situation. This is important to rebuilding your relationship because it validates the reactions.
3)Admit what you did. Admit the things you did that made that shivered the relationship. Don't say sorry while you're blaming the other person for what happened. Nothing is more insulting than an apology that points at the other person.
4)You know your ex is worth the price of an apology. You want to save your relationship and an apology will open the dialog between the two of you. It's a small price to pay to get the conversation going and possibly work your marriage out once and for all. You know, better than anyone, how much this step can mean for your future and you need to be willing to take it if you really want to get your ex back.
