"I'm sorry you took it that way" isn't an apology. It's blame disguised as one. Try this instead: "I don't like how I spoke to you just now. I was frustrated, but that doesn't make it okay for me to be cutting. I want to try again." Real repair isn't about winning the argument or getting the last word.

It doesn't have to define what's possible now. 🤍 [link in bio
