It’s okay to accept the apology even if you don’t agree with it. No need to get into a tug of war.

A firm, constructive complaint. Lets your partner know you care and that you’re willing to fight for it to define our bottom line which includes our needs and the limits of our tolerance which it’s at the heart of having both a relationship and a self. doing so is ultimately an act of kindness and respect. I really like the section in this part where it talks about the pursuer and the distance relationship.

For some it’s easier to perform apologies rather than admit their faults.

This past section was all about how if you want someone to apologize and they have offended you in some way. It’s best to be short and to the point to allow them time to reflect on what it is you’re saying. It also talked about how using eye statements is important.

This last chapter was really interesting and talked about those who do heinous acts and how you can’t expect a apology from them until they are honest with themselves. It’s important to protect yourself first!

Chapter 4 really resonated with me and made me think about conversations that I have had with my own mom around the past.

Accepting an apology or peace offering does not necessarily mean that you are finished talking about a painful issue or that you forgive the other person for what they’ve said or done or not said or done. It can be less a way of saying “OK The passes the past and there’s no need to revisit it“ and more a way of saying that there is still a future in which something other than anger and resentment is possible.
