"I'm sorry."
Probably the two hardest words for me to express verbally to my husband.
Couple that with a difficulty to also say "I forgive you" and we can sometimes find ourselves at an impasse.
When Kris and I have a "heated" discussion, I will readily admit that the majority of the time, it is Kris who does the apologizing. It isn't a stubbornness. It isn't because I am not sorry. It isn't because I haven't recognized the enemy at work in our relationship. I am not sure that I can even put words to it, except to say that I find it extremely difficult to verbally, with my words, tell Kris "I'm sorry."
I will sit, my body language saying everything but "I'm open and willing to work this out." See the couple in this picture below? THIS is what I'm talking about. This is an example of this type of body language that tells Kris "Houston, we have a problem."
