The ONLY time I'll say I'm sorry is if I'm actually in the wrong...I would NEVER say sorry just to end an arguement or fight if I shouldnt be saying it..that makes no sense to me ya know..So to answer your question of who would say it first? Well if its me that needs to then naturally I would..

for me, the person who committed the mistake should be the one to apologize, BUT we should not also forget that there are people who got talking issues, and pride is a big factor as well. In my relationship right now, I am always the one to apologize, even if its not my fault. It's because I do know my partner, I know how he is and I don't want getting mad at him or I don't want us fighting/quarreling. I always think that, in a fight, there's always fire, so one should be the water to put off the fire and I always choose to be the water. You should also remember that every single second that you are mad at your partner, its every second you waste to get to know that person even more.

A true , equal relationship isn't a game. It isn't based on who does what first. A true apology comes from the heart. It is comes freely and there is no waiting period. If someone waits to say " I'm sorry" How sincere is this apology. And if you Aren't sorry , you shoud never apologize.One fake apology can cause more damage than not saying you are sorry.

it depends who made a mistake that is what I believe in. if I was the one who made a mistake I do what I have to do, to say sorry for what I have done. If my boyfriend was the one then he should do apologize. However there are times even when we are not the one who is the source of the problem we still say sorry just to do not prolong the misunderstanding. Even if our partner has not yet apologize, we already forgiven them because we love them and what matters to us is the relationship. Those who have a hard face of not saying his or her sorry to his or her partner is acting juvenile. The realization happens at the end for them. It really depends on how they treat each other inside relationship.

The gender doesn't matter here. The one who should apologize first is the one who committed a mistake. Do not wait for the other person to apologize if you know for yourself that you're the one who did something wrong. You should lower your pride and say sorry.

Hi there friend.. In a relationship both of the couple should be humble enough to admit mistake and has a wide underatanding to understand and forgive the mistake of partner. If we commit the mistake, we must admit it and say sorry to our partner. If our partner is the one who commit the mistake we should not blame them over and over again. The best thing that we have to to is to talk with our partner and discuss the problem in a proper way and with dimplomacy.

I think the one who committed mistake should say sorry. Boy or girl does not come into picture for saying sorry. saying sorry is not a bad idea at all if you have done some mistake.
Saying sorry will build confidence and respect.
I do not hesitate saying sorry if I have done something wrong.

I doesn't matter if your the guy or the gal...whoever committed the mistakes should be the one to say sorry. But sometimes, to end up any lovers' quarrel, both of them say sorry...that's what I like about it!

i certainly agree with you, lucy. whoever committed the mistake should be the one to say sorry. guy or gal, they should have equal obligations, equal rights and equal responsibilities in their relationship. and that includes being mature enough to admit to one's mistake/s and say sorry. saying sorry does not lessen manhood, even womanhood. oftentimes, being able to face up to one's mistakes makes a relationship more mature and stronger.

for one of the first times, i agree with everyone else. pride kills. i am a person who is always willing to admit when i am wrong, so i have no problem with saying sorry. my partner has a bit of a hard time with that because his old brother (and bible for most of life's issues) told him that he should NEVER say sorry. this is because it's seem like you are admitting that YOU THE PERSON are sorry. thankfully, he loves me enough not to fall into this limited, ignorant, and arrogant thinking. once we both calm down after going to our neutral corners, we will talk it out and reach common ground. no matter who was at fault, we both remember that it got escalated with both our efforts. so, we both apologize for that part and reach common ground. if you love someone enough, you will be willing to do that.

In my opinion,it should be the one who has committed a mistake.
Why someone should say sorry if he/she doesn't had done any wrong?
So,in a relationship,someone who did wrong should be the one to asks sorry.
It's the common knowledge...and,someone must be responsible to accept wrong or mistakes done...not to take pride of it.

it depends, whoever think who made mistakes then i guess he or she will be the one to say sorry. besides, if your really love the person you are willing to take off your pride just to prove your love. i appreciated those guys who are kind enough to accept their mistakes and say sorry for what happened. thats why i appreciated my ex for that he even cried just to say sorry for me.

It seems like I'm the one to always say sorry, even when it's not my place to say it. I hate for fights and arguments to drag on for any longer than a hour or two. The reason being, life is so short and while dwell on an argument you had with someone you love. You can't cry over spilled milk.

I am married and love my husband very much, but he will not say I'm sorry. It is always me.
