What if my partner doesn't accept my apology?

I just apologized to my partner, but they seem really upset and aren't accepting it. What should I do?

It's tough when an apology isn't accepted. Have you tried to understand their feelings and why they might be upset?

I haven't really asked them about their feelings. I just thought saying sorry would be enough.

It's common to think that, but sometimes people need more than just words. Listening to their perspective can help.

What if they still don't want to talk to me after that?

If they need space, give them time. Let them know you're there when they're ready to talk. Respecting their feelings is important.

Thanks, that makes sense. I just hope they come around soon.
