Apologizing once for a minor incident is < goodenoughright? > 03/11 10:59:03
Once you apologize to someone, that's good enough, right? I had a little argument with the guy I'm dating,and we didn't speak for a couple of days. I called him to apologize, and we talked for a long time. The conversation went great. But, I haven't heard from him, and that was on Thurs. It's his turn, right?

I f you are waiting for him to apologize, you may be waiting a long time. Ask yourself if you need to be right and he needs to apologize to prove it. This may be a relationship killer. If you like the guy enough, call him and put this argument behind you. You may find that he won't apologize directly but will show you in actions that he is sorry. Good luck. Good relationships take a lot of work.

You certainly did the right thing and apologized, assuming you were in the wrong of course, you shouldn't apologize for his mistakes. It all sort of depends on how long you two have been dating and how mature your conversation skills have developed over the time of your relationship. Since I don't know the whole situation or what the argument is about, I cant say that he needs to apologize too. You need to pick your battles. But if he isn't putting effort into patching up a rough spot, don't continue to call him! There is no turn off bigger than a nagging girlfriend! Give him his space, he might need more time to get over it. After he decides he is ready to talk again, and your relationship is back to normal. Take some time to get a better understanding of each other. Maybe you like to deal with problems right away, and he needs time to collect his thoughts so he doesn't blurt out something in anger. I wouldn't be more upset with him solely because he isn't reacting the way you'd like or quick enough. Respect his decision, give him some time and space, and when he's ready, he'll talk.

Yes if he did something to apologize for (only you and he know for sure).
He should have apologized at the same time you did, and if he never brings it up again or apologizes or addresses it in some way, I would consider this to be a red flag and to proceed with caution in the relationship.
Good luck!

it all depends, who is at fault for the argument, who is right and who is wrong?
if it was your fault for the argument and you were wrong then what does he need to apologize for?
if you apologized and were not sincere about it, why would he have to accept it? or even talk to you for?
not every argument needs an apology from both people
if i hit you, then yes, i should apologize to you, but then should you have to apologize to me for me hitting you?
if you tell me that i am small, then yea, perhaps you should apologize for hurting my feelings, should i have to apologize to you? for what? and should i even accept your apology for being so caluos and uncaring?
it all depends on what the argument was about

You appoliged but did he accept it? IF not it is hes loss. If he is not a big enought man to accept it then he is not man enough to take resposabity for a relationship either. Dump the man.
