As a man, I do find myself occasionally saying that "I regret that I was wrong."
Fortunately, I usually do enough research and / or have sufficient formal knowledge to be able to avoid having to say that very often.

That speaks very well of you tom. You don't have to apologize when you're not out of line. And you are careful to research things in advance before you advance them. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
My husband has the integrity of a man I am very proud to be with. He absolutely knows when he's wrong and an apology is never hard to come by. His character would likely never put him in a position of needing to apologize like what we are seeing in the media.
I have notice some are more willing to take full responsibility while others brush it off as "boys being boys".
That is awesome PeaPod! You are very lucky to have such a guy in your life! A very good example/role model for your children. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
My Jim is a winner too PeaPod! I think it's great that we both found the right guy. Our last act so to speak before the curtain closes on us and we move on to whatever is next. Thank you for your reply m'dear and Happy Monday! :)
I guess that's true Lulu'sMom. I just wonder how many stupid men there are in the world and how many women who aren't too bright who will accept that crap as being "normal". Lousy role model for children for sure. They will grow up stupid too. Sadly. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
We see evidence of that. Melania remains silent. Kaytla Moore is defiantly antagonistic. Camille Cosby turned a blind eye. They are not the best role models of strong women who know whom they are and speak up when they see wrongdoing. They are pathetic and I pity their children. They will be pathetic too. Thank you for your reply Lulu'sMom! :)
What gets me is how some women can be so smart in other areas, but so stupid about men. A red flag should go up if they are with someone who will never admit being wrong and blames everyone else for what they did. That would tell me to get the heck away from them.
I totally agree with thee. Take Hillary Clinton. I"d have walked. She didn't. She is way smarter than me. I don't get it. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday Lulu'sMom! :)
We've completely worn out the concept of apology with insincere and overly used apologies on demand. It used to mean something important and significant when apologies were appropriately used. In a society such as ours where people love to wear their feelings on their sleeves, it's become a monotonous exercise in futility. Just another gesture that we've taken the meaning from.
I‘ll apologise for my own actions if I’m actually in the wrong which is almost never.
I will not apologise for other people’s irrational feelings about my behaviour.
People who take offense all the time, play the victim and demand apologies are insidious passive aggressive scum. Apologising to such people is a form of surrender to their domination and I will not do that.
Mine too. I wonder how many stupid men there are out there though and stupid women who accept that crap as "normal"? Thank you for your reply mk and Happy Sunday! :)
