Can you say, "I'm sorry"? Many people simply cannot utter those words. Some consider it a sign of weakness.

we all need to be able to say I'm sorry, because we all have reasons to say it.

I think when I was young and vain it was more difficult, but now that I've reached my 40's I have no problem saying I'm sorry. It could have been a prideful thing, now I apologize to someone even if I think I was right for saying whatever it was, just because it may have hurt someone's feelings and that alone is worth apologizing for.

It's NOT a problem for me to say I'm sorry, it's the descent thing to do if you have hurt someones feelings or mistreated someone in someway. If I have did this to ANYONE on this site,I'M SORRY, If I have it was not intended.

Saying “I’m sorry” for my mistake, for having misunderstood the question, for having misunderstood your intention in your question or answer….is important to me because I am making an effort to present a clear and understandable comment that is relevant and funny or informative or interesting, etc (in case I left anything out).

An honest "I'm sorry" means more to me that "I love you". I don't know why people think it is a sign of weakness or are too proud to admit they were "wrong". If someone can say "I'm sorry", it tells me that person actually cares about how I feel. That's huge.
I don't have a problem at all saying, "I'm sorry" when I'm wrong or have inadvertently caused pain to someone. I don't TRY to hurt people's feelings or make them unhappy or uncomfortable.

the words , " I'm sorry " are not part of a man's vocabulary. My dad never said it , neither did my late husband. My brother never said it and he used to hit me all the time. And God forbid if Ron, my late husbands' best friend was to ever say " I'm sorry " for some selfish thing he did.

But, women say it often .

IMO, I'd guess that the influence of your Dad and brother was the reason you chose that type of man. Only a strong, confident man knows how, and is willing to say "I'm sorry". Insecure types will never admit to being in the wrong. And, some women do not apologize either.....same reason.
