Is saying "i'm sorry" enough for you?

Hi Dear if some one do some thing wrong and say u sorry ( it should not be words only but by heart and his/her action certify that" but if he again do same thing to hurt u and then say sorry, then its enough and u should be avoiding him/her after 2-3 chances Take care

Why do people think it's okay for them to do horrible things to other people as long as they apologize afterwards? to me the sorry doesnt seem to be sincere if someone keeps hurting you and say sorry and keep repeating the same mistake everytime. if they're really sorry then they would know not to repeat the mistake. probably a few times is acceptable but if keeps occurring then something is wrong somewhere. you should talk about it and sort things i guess.

I believe that we should always forgive no matter what the circumstances or how many times it has happened. It is good to expect change from that person, but be aware that they may never do it. Now I am not perfect nor do I know everything. I am still growing and learning. But I have recently come to the conclusion that some people you need to forgive and love from a distance. If you allow them to remain close, they will continue to wreak havoc in your life.

Sorry is just a 5 letter word. What matters is an apology...and yes there is a HUGE difference between saying sorry and actually apologizing. Sorry means nothing unless there's an apology within it.

You know there is a saying that says, fool me once and shame on you...fool me twice and shame on me. I think that if a person is truly sorry then they won't continue to do the same things that they know hurt you. I can give second chances, but after the second time it's over whether it's a spouse or family or friends. If they are gonna continue to do the same things and just expect the words sorry to solve everything it's not worth it cause sorry can only last for so long. after the second or third time, sorry doesn't mean crap to me anymore, because i know they really don't mean it. thanks for sharing and God bless

I think it is more important to mean it than to just say it. You might not know when someone might be pushed or forced to say "sorry" to another person that the "sorry" becomes an obligation rather than a sincerity. In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether someone actually says sorry to me or not; as long as they show that they are sorry through their actions, I will be more than willing to forgive them. We need to remember people have their pride and ego, so sometimes saying sorry is quite a chore.

no not always. i have felt it when i am at the reciei-ving end. i have experienced it most in one case. i so called friend has cheated on me. he took my advantage. when he got caught he just told me sorry. i do not think just a sorry was enough.

saying im sorry and the hurt is still there, i dont think that i can be okay. yes it is enough but i will still have my own space to deal with the pain. but sorry means you will never do it again. my ex husband hurt me physically and emotionally and there is no better on those hurt. it both hurts bad. as long as the person asking for forgiveness will not do that again then i think we have the right to forgive. but if the hurting is again and again then i dont think he/she knows the important of the words im sorry

Actions speak louder than words so even though someone says sorry to me, sometimes I am skeptical and only believe it if I can see that they truly are sorry (depends on who it is too!). I've had people say sorry and never really mean it because they go back to doing the same thing over and over again.

I think changes should at least be attempted by the person. When I'm hurt enough, I avoid the person. Then just drift away. Take care

for me the word "sorry" is to be said with feelings of sincerity and it defeats the purpose of saying so when the harm is being done again and again. I mean where's the sincerity when you continue repeating the same mistakes? It has to be said from the heart and not just out of the nose. there's a saying that action speaks louder than words so sometimes you need not have to say you're sorry you just have to show that you've changed.

Hi my charm. I know a magic word that you're right, I'm sorry.LOL

Hurting a girl emotionally/physically is not acceptable. What happened once will happen twice and so on.. Though we can't really stop our emotions especially gals. Base from my experience, i was hurt physically and there goes the first sorry, then it happened again and again, which is so ridicul*us! That's why I think if that person hurt you once, then he doesn't respect you and your feelings anymore, and it's not worth it. But ofcourse I've leraned to forgive many times but it's one of the reasons why me and my bf broke up. :(

no not for me , you have to express more than the word to me i mean , hell give me my time back how about that? for me i dont even let her get one in i just turn the other way and keep walking , harsh but oh well thats me

Part of being sorry would include not repeating the mistake. Sometimes people say 'I'm sorry, but....' someone pointed out to me that as soon as you put the word 'but' after sorry, that really means you are saying 'I'm NOT sorry'. I try to live by that and never use the word 'but' after saying sorry. You asked about being hurt again, and I would say that if someone said 'sorry' and then hurt you again in the same way, then they were obviously not really sorry and they do not value you. This applies in a relationship, but not for 'unconditional' love which is reserved for our children... I don't care how many times my child hurts me, I will always love her as much as ever (not that she has ever hurt me). No other love is truly unconditional.

I would forgive an emotional hurt once from a lover. But if he did it again, I wouldn't forgive him.My love would begin to fade the minute he did it to me Again.For me it is harder to forgive a loved one than a stranger. A stranger doesn't know me. How would they know what would hurt me or not.A lover or family member should know me.Knowing me, I have told them by word or deed what is hurtful to me so I wouldn't forgive them as easily as a stranger. A heart felt I am sorry ,in person and without flowers, is good enough for me. And Never do it again and I will forgive you, without needing the proper revenge.

if the person keeps on saying sorry but still is taking me for granted, taking my forgiveness for nothing, then sorry wouldn't be enough. because it would seem like that person isn't sincere in apologizing and just taking my kindness for granted. i would say that its the time that every sorry is enough and i might not forgive that person at all. but if that person bribes me with something like a bunch of anime stuffs or a dozen of chocolate cakes or a trip to Boracay or somewhere in Asia, i might give my forgiveness. LOL

I might accept a verbal apology initially, but if thats all that I ever heard but saw no change in the behavior it wouldn't ever be enough again. When my daughter was 3 I apologized for something and she looked at me indignantly and said "Sorry doesn't count, Mom!" It became a household motto.

I've had both done to me and I continually accepted their apology however, once I finally realized that he would apologize to me every time he'd hurt me regardless of how, he knew he'd get away with it when he apologized because he knew I'd accept. So that said, the first time the abuse happens, it really depends on what abuse was done and how bad it was done is whether or not you should accept his apology. The second time around is a no go, meaning, it's time to move on for there are other "fish" in the sea who will treat you much better and it's what you deserve.

I tend to be a very very stubborn person and "I am sorry" is generally never enough for me. If someone hurts me they had better prove to me that they really do feel horrid for their actions and they they honestly will never ever do it again. I am much more easily forgiving when it is a first time offence or when I am completley in love with the person who has hurt me. I would much rather be hurt physically then hurt mentally. Physical harm takes a while for the scars to heal but mental harm tends, in me anyway, to never go away. I think that if a person hurts you once then forgiving them is in order, if they do it again then it is time to cut the ties and let them go. Changes should occur, if someone knows that they have hurt you then why would they do it again unless they want to purpously hurt you again?
