My T apologies when she does something that hurts my feelings. But she only apologies once. We both believe that if you're truly sorry about something, actions speak louder than words. So we only give a verbal apology to acknowledge something we did that the outcome was not intended.

Example: my T made a comment that I've had a lot of one night stands with my fiance. I felt like she was calling me a s***. I told her how I felt. She responded by apologizing, saying that was not her intention, and she would never think of me as such. I accepted her apology. I reflected on everything I've experienced with her and know that she was being sincere and that it was my interpretation of what she said. So I let it go and trusted her response.
