    The most sincere "I'm sorry" that I have ever received actually came from my ex.

    I was remarried by the time my ex apologized and said he was sorry to me. The reason it meant so much was that he was truly remorseful, he did not try to make excuses for the wrong he did, and he stated the wrongs he had done to me that he was sorry for. This sincere "I'm sorry" from my ex helped heal my heart from all the hurt he had put there and helped me to be able to forgive him sincerely too.

    When I know I have been the reason someone is hurting and I know what that reason is I always say "I am sorry" and then state what I am sorry for and then ask them to forgive me. We hurt others even when we don't mean to at times and a sincere "I'm sorry for..." helps bring healing and forgiveness.

    @Babs Hunt - that's a lovely gesture from your ex, can see why it meant so much

    Yup. I specialize in the home missions field particularly in the homeless and rescue mission ministry. I was ordained under a convention of Southern Baptists and they threw a reverend in front of my name but I insist that my name is just plain Bobby.
    Besides, all those extra letters in front of my name and in back of my name just make it more difficult for me to remember my name.

    Yes well, half a sorry is better than no sorry at all imo, at least it acknowledges the fact that they realise that what they did/said was a mistake ...some folk can't even manage that much even if it's staring them in the face
