You see, this five-letter word "sorry" is very short but has the capability of calming a raging storm. These are powerful words that can save an ugly situation, but unfortunately many people find them difficult to use in some cases. It's either you are dragging who is right or wrong and thus find the use of the word "I'm sorry" so difficult to say in order to save yourself from unnecessary stress. We are all humans with "*egos," although this trait is more common in some men. Some women also exercise their ego in some situations, but not as much as men with my practical life experience so far.

I'm Sorry
I remember the time I did my marriage course. This is a course which intending couples take prior to their wedding celebrations in church. It's usually a six months course in my parish where the intending couples are being thought on the better way to live as husband and wife in marriage. Imagine two people coming together from different family background to live in one roof as couples, there must surely be disagreement in one way or the other so the use of the word "I'm sorry was one of the sensitive topic that was handled for a healthy relationship.

I am the type of human being that cherishes my peace of mind,it's a luxury to me. The use of this word "I'm sorry" is never an issue for me in any way since I became an adult. I understand how powerful this word can be, it's a magic word that can save an almost breaking relationship. It's a magic word capable of alleviating someone's high furious on you. Fortunately It's not heavy in my mouth to use at every needed time but it is for many that I know and trust me, it doesn't always end pretty well when you fail to say "sorry" when you supposed to do so .

According to the topic description for this edition contest, I belong to the categories of people who find it easy to say sorry wether I am wrong or right. I have never found myself in a position where I found it difficult to apologize but I have been in several positions where I apologized even when I wasn't supposed to do so, but I did for peace sake. I have different life practical cases like such but permit me to share just one experience with you!

Sitting on my sofa surfing the internet, I received a call from my husband:

Hubby: Babe, how are you doing?

Me: I am good and you?

Hubby: I am good as well; kindly clean up the guest room, my friend Engr Mark will be in the house in less than an hour, I just finished speaking with him. Also, prepare somovita with bitterleaf soup 🍲 in the freezer and serve him for lunch, I will soon be home to join you guys.

Me: Which Engr Mark? You have never mentioned that we are expecting a visitor. Is it that sudden? Didn't your friend inform you before now? Why informing me just now? Like seriously?

Hubby: I thought I told you yesterday

Me: You didn't

Hubby: Just do what I said!

Me: Speechless😶

Hmmmmm., Can you just imagine the conversation above? As a human being, I felt a bit bad! I was denied of my respect as the woman of the house to know that a visitor is coming to my house. Obviously, it skipped his mind to inform me because he always does but the least I expected from him is just to say "I'm sorry" but he failed to do so. Well, I am sorry if he gets to read this blog🤦...but I just felt like sharing this probably someone might learn from my experience.

Engr Mark who proposed to spend a night later ended up spending one week in my house. When he finally left, I confronted my hubby over his attitude on his inability to accept his mistake by simply saying "I'm sorry" and guess what? He started acting cold on me for few days... perhaps I don't have the right to confront a wrong act? Lol

I still went back to him, knelt down and apologized for him so I can enjoy my peace of mind like this 😂 and that was the end of the case..it became a forgotten issue till date.

This same short word "sorry", made a good friend of mine to almost lose her marriage. I remember begging her to say sorry but she felt so pride to apologize to her husband for her wrong doing, not even that she wasn't wrong. It took the plea of so many elders to restore her almost broken 💔 marriage. Today, she has 3 children with her husband and she kept appreciating me for making her understand the importance of saying sorry...she can now say sorry almost immediately when needed and I couldn't help but smile at the new development.

In conclusion, the word "sorry" is a magic word that can do wonders positively. It doesn't remove anything from us to say sorry wether you are wrong or right. Use it as much as you can and save the day for yourself.

This post is in response to the #hivelearners community contest on the topic titled I'M SORRY.

Thank God you moved on without waiting for him to say sorry, instead you turned out saying the sorry.

This is the definition of value for the relationship. From the narration, you’re not at fault but just because you value your marriage so much and your peace of mind, you said sorry and it has become a thing of the past.

Not a lot of people can say sorry when they’re not wrong because they believe they don’t have to. But sometimes you just have to be the bigger person.

I am the type of human being that cherishes my peace of mind,it's a luxury to me.

😂😂😂😂 You and hubby's case cracked me up but sincerely, you did just the right thing, being the type that wants peace to reign, just like me.
See ehn, men specifically have this ego in them that it takes the great man to utter "I am sorry " just to avoid any further argument.

I learnt from your post. You are truly a good wife who has respect for her hubby. Some women would still find trouble after the guest is gone and would be hard to manage peace. This is why some homes are broken because of this attitude of proving you are wrong, I am right.

Sorry is a magic word that does wonders and prevent issues from arising.

The word sorry saves the day.....
Agreed. Agreed. Agreeeeeed 💯.... but I am wondering if it is a four letter or five letter word 🤔. 😅

Nkem.... you described the scene with your husband. It is relatable. I had been the same way. The cold behavior from my partner's side would freeze my heart and I would go for saying sorry even when it was not my mistake. But you know what I have come to realize...... sometimes, there is a need to make other understand how it feels when they behave inappropriately.

Just like you told about you, I don't want to compromise my peace of mind. However, sometimes, for retaining your self-worth you need to take steps.

I do try telling my partner now that something had hurt me. However, I don’t do it disrespectfully but with love and respect

😂 hahaha he said women love sorry alot as if you know @actordontee ... women are so easy to deal with say sorry with little petting and that's all. She will so respect and cherish you forever. My ex was like this and I love it any little tin he say sorry but the annoying part of it is that he repeat thesame thing in a minute so annoying. Be a gentle man, With love, care and respect you can change a woman to become how you want her to be.

You see this sorry of a thing, I had problems early on because I feel if you can't say sorry, me I can't stay with you, instead of hubby to say sorry, he will rather start forming good man, showing extra care and buy what I did not send him for me, that is his own way of saying sorry. I just tire.

Even we that we are still in a relationship we are facing it.
But women will always be the one to say it even though she's right

If I don't I won't have rest of mind so for the sake of peace I will say it even though sometimes is not from my mind because I knew I wasn't wrong but still I am sorry will come out of my mouth

I like the way you went to apologize to your husband even when you are not at fault. It shows how great of a woman you are because if you didn't and wait for his sorry, you will just be pained because man will never😂😂. That's how their mentality of being superior get over them most times.

Hello nkemakonam

The five letter 'sorry' always followed by a three word sentence which I wanted to tell you🤣. I as read further I found you did a marrage course. I thought you were married and read once again ..wow! It was just a course. But when I read conversation between you and your hubby...my expression is like 😭😭😭 so , I will say 'sorry' and 'I like you'

Don't be upset ;men will be men. To say sorry, ego hurts for many.

The word sorry is a very important word, it resolves conflict. there is no need to argue with anybody. Argument never leads to anything good, so it is best to just walk out of it. Say you are sorry even though you are right or wrong.

Although your hubby no do well at all oh, communication is the key, which he failed at it first and failed again to accept his wrongdoings. I am glad he has someone like you who finds it easy to apologize even when she is on her own right.
