I've heard these before and it's one of the reasons I question our relationship. Have never gotten an apology and feel that I should have, but she does take time to say, "Well based on (the context) I had thought..." This comes down to the "authority" of the T relative to the C. Honestly if they acted as partners in our recovery that would be better.
Good apology would come quickly and get resolved quickly. With friends I've found that protracted processing of apology can be counterproductive. Might be true for a T, too.
