So I began with what he had done wrong. As he likes
to put it, I was doing the 'woman blame thing' now. He
hadn't found anywhere romantic, he hadn't thought
to listen to my suggestion, and he hadn't noticed that
he could have bought some flowers by the roadside
for me. The list went on.
The poor man stayed patient, nodded his agreement
and kept holding my hand. When I finished venting,
he just looked at me and said, "I'm so very sorry. Will
you forgive me?"
Should I Forgive Him?
He melted my heart. He had let me vent, he had
shown patience and understanding, and he had not
only apologized, but sincerely asked for my
forgiveness. I had nothing left but to say "yes."
This man was not cheezy, not begging, nor was he
playing games. As he told me later on, he just wanted
to make things right for us (not just me), and was
willing to stay calm and patient until he did.
So to all you men out there who have to deal with
ladies who exhibit the 'woman thing' from time to
time, my advice is this:
1. Stay patient
2. Stay calm
3. Say sorry and ask the four magic words with
sincerity, "Will you forgive me?"
