Women are more affected by negative emotions than men.
Women tend to hold grudges more easily than men. Men are actually quite good at forgetting unpleasant things; even if they had a huge argument the day before, they'll wake up the next day as if they've forgotten everything. Women are the opposite. Almost no woman's sorrow or resentment lasts overnight. A woman who can resolve these troubles emotionally within three days is considered very magnanimous. Women say this is because they take relationships more seriously than men. In fact, this is also due to physiological factors; women have a longer memory for unhappy emotions than men.
A man's apology can help a woman eliminate negative emotions.
Because women don't easily forget unhappy things, they need a man's apology to dispel negative emotions. Therefore, women don't hate the men who anger them the most; they hate those who anger them but refuse to apologize. Women love men's apologies, especially the quicker the apology. In reality, they hope to gauge the depth of a man's love for them through the speed of his apology. She stubbornly and naively believes that the faster a man apologizes, the more he values her.
Was the apology sincere?
The idea that men should apologize first seems to have become a social "consensus." When people see stubborn men, they anxiously tell them, "Men need to learn to humble themselves. What woman would love a man who can't apologize?" Yes, perhaps that's true. But is a man who apologizes a lot really that worthy of a woman's love? Perhaps he's only apologizing to appease her anger, without genuine remorse.
People who don't like to apologize may feel more remorse.
The ability to apologize is also closely tied to personality. Some people apologize, some don't. Perhaps the latter type of man will run into a woman's resentment, leading to a fierce battle of wills with her! But I want to say that not everyone who apologizes deserves forgiveness: the more easily one apologizes, the more frequently mistakes one makes. The harder it is for a person to express remorse, the deeper their pride and regret.
The important thing is how many mistakes are made.
It's okay if he doesn't apologize, as long as he never does it again, that's commendable. The important thing is for women to be careful not to make it a habit for men to apologize. Once that happens, he'll become increasingly indifferent to apologies and less attentive to promises. Although women always hope men will apologize first, accepting a man's apology isn't always pleasant; at the very least, it proves he's wronged her. I'd rather not have the most sincere and remorseful apology; I just hope that in my life, forever and ever, there will be no regrets.
