The Apology Language
We will proceed to the fourth point. Kindly check out the third point on my Facebook page (Posted on May 4th).
GENUINELY EXPRESSING THE DESIRE TI CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR
This apology seeks to come up with a plan to keep the bad behavior from reoccurring. One man who "lost his temper again" said, "I don't like this about me. This is not good. I know I did the same thing last week. This has got to stop. You deserve better than this. Can you help me think what I can do to make sure that this doesn't happen again?"
His desire for change communicates to his wife that he is sincerely apologizing.
This couple decided that when he left himself getting "hot", he would take a walk and calm. When he came back in thirty minutes, he would say to her, "I love you so much and appreciate the time out. I don't ever want to lose my temper with you again. I appreciate you helping me overcome this."
In some people's eyes, if your apology does not include a desire to change your behavior, you have not truly apologized. Whatever else you say, they do not see it as being sincere. In their minds, you are really apologizing, you will seek to change your behavior.
