Apologies to me should be heart felt... if not they are just words used to placate the other person temporarily. If you are "totally" wrong, then by all means ask for forgiveness for the error in your behavior. If you are feeling the need to repair a relationship... well think about the reason for the situation requiring one or the other needing to apologize. Sometimes when we find ourselves needing to "apologize" more often than not... examine the relationship in which this occurs. Are you really being truthful with yourself and the relationship is "REALLY" over or are you trying to make everything be "right" until the next disagreement which leads to a few heated words. Follow your heart and it will lead you to the "best" response when it comes to offering an apology. Just don't apologize because you have an issue with being a "people pleaser". A "REAL" friend will accept your
desire to make amends and you both can learn and grow from the situation.

Shalom
