And that written scenario is terrific for good and respectful communication. I call that "rewriting the script". Please do add to your ending of your article.... that the person who said sorry that it wasn't their intention to cause pain/discomfort/upset to the other...actually changes their behavior in the future. Thank you! I am very frustrated at this point with a partner that says sorry (usually after defending themselves for a while) and then doesn't solve the problem by changing their behavior in the future. Thank you for listening.
