Every relationship will have its ups and downs, its good times as well as bad times. Learning how to say I’m sorry can ensure that your relationship makes it through the tough and difficult times. Learning how to say, "I’m sorry" is a skill that surprisingly not everyone has learned. The failure to learn how to recognize when you are at fault in a relationship and refusing to accept your mistakes may mean the end of your partnership. Though it may be hard for some to say they are sorry, learning how to own up to their mistakes and taking responsibility for their share of arguments is crucial if you want to remain in your relationship and grow as a couple.
There are many ways to tell your significant other that you are sorry. To begin with, you can learn to verbally express your regret by speaking to your partner and letting them know that you genuinely feel sorry for your behavior, actions, or words. It is important that you let your partner know that you are truly sorry for your behavior. Many times, someone may simply say they are sorry to try to keep the peace and end an argument. However, they are not generally feeling repentance for their behavior.
The first key element to saying you are sorry is to genuinely feel sorrow for your behavior and have a sincere desire to change. Second, it is very important to state that you are taking responsibility for your actions and not trying to justify your behavior or make excuses for it. If you don’t take responsibility for your actions then your apology will have little value. After you have apologized sincerely and genuinely, let your partner know that you will make a determined effort to change the behavior. This will let your partner know that you truly do mean what you say and will give them an action that they can look forward to seeing. There are many different ways to say that you are sorry, as well as some creative methods that you can use. Here are some expressions that you can say to express your sincere remorsefulness for your behavior, actions, or words:
Please forgive my outburst, I do love and respect you and didn’t mean to speak to you like that.
I do love you and I can’t stand fighting with you. Please forgive my part in all this. I want us to speak calmly and with respect for each other.
I am very sorry, please forgive my tone of voice. I love you and don’t want us to continue speaking to each other this way.
I’m sorry. I love you and I am overreacting. Let’s take a break right now so we can both calm down.
It is also very effective to give a gift with an apology. Here are a few ideas to get you going:
Give a teddy bear that says, "I'm sorry".
The flower Purple Hyacinth means I’m sorry, please forgive me. Send her a bouquet of purple Hyacinths. Ask your local florist for ideas on an "apology" bouquet.
Send an "I’m Sorry" poem.
Just remember that whichever method you choose to say I’m sorry, the most important step is to sincerely mean it from your heart.

My boyfriend posted an apology to me for the world to see on Oops Im Sorry that actually moved me to tears. I loved that he took the time to write how he felt and shared it so openly. He sent me a link so I knew it was there and once I read it, I knew he was sorry and I was very happy to forgive him.
