How do you apologize...

Roses, it depends for what you are apologizing: your divorce, or some something you did after the divorce which caused offense. In the former case those who say you are wasting your time and probably causing further offense in my opinion are correct. If it is the former those who counsel sending a written (snail mail) note expressing your apologies for having given offense are in my opinion correct.
I use the language I do because I'm not sure there truly is a universal right or wrong answer, however the above is my advise.

Ouch! Lord, I just don't know on that one. I tend to believe it's irrecoverable, but also think a note saying I doubt you'll forgive me, but I know I was wrong and hurt you. would be appropriate - IF that is how you actually feel.Roses said:

But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream get louder (It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep her
From what she was about to see
Why should she believe me
When I told her it wasn't me
How about...That damn tattoo artist. He told me that my tattoo was an original. I'm going to go right now and give him a piece of my mind.alienencounters said:
Only if you really think you did something wrong and there's a chance she'll take you back. If it's obviously over and you just want to explain why, don't bother.ASYLUM said:
No, write a letter.Mongrel4u said:
In some ways I suppose a divorce, particularly when you were the party who really wanted it to work is a bit like this at least in feeling badly about it all. In that sense, although otherwise our situations are entirely different, I really feel for Roses! It sucks!

Among other things it's not quite as awkward, and it doesn’t put her on the spot in having to decide whether or not to talk with him.Mongrel4u said:
