Re: S/O Love Language

  • Wow, I have a 7 in Genuine Repentence, 6 in Expressing Regret, 4 in Accepting Responsibility, 2 for restitution, and 1 for asking. That actually sounds pretty accurate to me...the most important that you take the experience to heart and learn from it to grow and change. Most of the time, people asking "can you ever forgive me?" seems over-dramatic and a little insincere.

  • My scores are:

    Accepting Responsibility 11

    Generally Repenting 5

    Making Restitution 4

    Requesting Forgiveness and Expressing Regret (both) 0

    That's pretty accurate.  I can hold on grudges pretty easily sometimes, and I feel apologies aren't genuine if they are only asking for forgiveness or regretting that they got caught.

  • I can't really vote because mine were tied.  I had a 7 in Expressing Regret and Accepting Responsibility.  I can't remember what my other ones were, but I do recall my lowest was Requesting Forgiveness.

  • Heh, mine's pretty linear...

    7 -- Genuinely Repenting

    6 -- Accepting Responsibility

    5 -- Making Restitution

    2 -- Expressing Regret

    0  -- Asking for Forgiveness

    Sounds about right to me! Ideal apologies, for me, should contain all of the first three in near-equal doses and a splash of the fourth. ;) The fifth, like one of the earlier replies mentioned that I'm too lazy to find out who said it right now, just comes across as SO insincere.

    Hmmm, maybe that's why we have the exact same wedding date but a year apart? Wink

  • This took a lot longer than the other one.  Maybe i'm just tired.

    Mine were:
    Making restitution (i'm not surprised, since i really think the best approach is to learn from one's mistakes)
    Expressing regret
    Accepting responsibility is important to me, but it's best paired with the two above; genuine repentance is similarly ranked.
    I feel like asking forgiveness is just asking for a favor after messing up.  Big fat 0.
