what exactly stops a person from apologising? is it the ego? the whole idea of admitting that one is wrong and then to lose face? or is it something else?

It is because they have too much pride. Men want to be strong men and dont want you to see an emotional or sensitive side. That or they think they have done nothing wrong, which is the case alot of times.

hmmm.. yeah.. i guess guys do tend to look at things in a much more logical manner, so to speak, and end up overlooking emotions that someone might have felt when they didn't say they were sorry even if they were

ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD!!! I guess it really depends on the person. Generally, it is the fear of admitting they are wrong. Everyone wants to be right about something, especially if they're passionate about it, or didn't truly realize the consequences of whatever it was that caused someone to expect an apology. They usually just want to be kept in high esteem, they don't want to have to work for trust again.

but then, doesn't it sort of kill the purpose? the whole idea is to feel good about yourself, but something inside keeps eating you, telling you that you should apologise and you haven't?
