writes:Is there a point where apologizing defeats itself and all you are doing is reminding someone of a negative incident in the past?I got into an argument and upset my closest friend. I didn't think she'd ever talk to me again. But showing how little I knew, she never stopped though it isn't as often as before. I have apologized several times via emails completely accepting responsibility for what I did. But because of the nature of my mistake I've wanted to do it in person. Only my friend is still uncomfortable and hasn't agreed to see me yet. In the past if I had to apologize for something I did it in emails and when I finally had the chance to do it in person, she'd brush it aside and say "let sleeping dogs lie." I'm starting to wonder if that's what is going on here. She knows I am sorry, but am I so determined to apologize in person that all I'm doing is keeping alive something from the past that (I presume) we both want to put behind us? Reply to this Question
