Why Doesn’t My Partner Accept What They Did Was Wrong?
This week, Jules, Vickey and Rebecca talk about what’s really going on when we or our partners can’t admit wrongdoing. It turns out that we all have unique, complex personal histories with what happens when someone admits they made a mistake and why we might refuse or withhold that admission. This succinct yet powerful conversation offers a U-turn for both parties in a relationship that can shift the trajectory of the disagreement toward connection and safety, while ultimately asking the question, “Is forgiveness possible if we don’t agree that you were wrong?”
