Even in partnerships where there is an open line of communication between the two partners, disagreements and disputes are common. While fighting with your spouse every day can be cause for concern, infrequent or sporadic arguments are perfectly acceptable.

However, one or both couples typically apologise to one another during the reconciliation phase.

Here are a few things that might account for your man’s behaviour, if he has never apologised to you and always refuses to do so after a disagreement.

His Inflated EGO Comes in the Way

Some people feel hesitant to be vulnerable in a relationship. No matter how close you are to your partner, if he struggles to appear frail and defenceless, it may be because of his ego. Some people refuse to ask their partners for forgiveness because they are too proud to apologise. This is a worrying personality feature that ought to raise some warning flags in a partnership.

He Prefers to Amends for his Actions

There are those who don’t think it’s appropriate to express regret for hurting your feelings or write letters of apology. They could choose to use their actions to make things right to demonstrate to you how sorry they are. You must therefore give him an opportunity to express his regret in the manner that he chooses.

He Holds You Responsible for the Fight

He might be refusing to apologise because he feels he hasn’t done anything wrong, which is one possible explanation. You need to figure out if he still holds you responsible for the altercation. If it was your fault, you must graciously concede defeat. You should seek the support and assistance of your loved ones in such situations and avoid isolating yourself with a partner who prefers to blame you rather than take responsibility for their behaviour. However, if your partner is blaming you for their own mistakes; it is considered to be gaslighting and they may be in denial about their own folly.
