Or is this just a saying I've always had in my mind ? The reason I am asking is because I say it very little to my boyfriend when I make mistakes because they are so not a big deal ... but him they're off the charts with you got to be joking reality situations. However he does things and says things and I know he is and he's showing me in the only what I think he knows.

No, being in love means constantly saying you're sorry.

I believe love IS saying that your are sorry. I think if you never say sorry, you are not respecting the person you love, by acknowledging your mistakes. I do understand the actual saying though, because it basically means that the other person accepts you, warts and all, whatever you do....but I think after a while, it would start to get a bit tiresome. It all depends too, on what YOU think is a mistake, compared to what THEY think is a mistake. For example.....showing up late for a date once, might be ok. If you did it a lot, then the other person would think you didn't care that much about meeting/going out with them. I also think actions speak louder than words.....you can SAY sorry, without feeling it. However, if your boyfriend SHOWS he is sorry, by doing stuff to make you feel better, then you should be very happy, cos he obviously cares about you!

Love means never being put in a situation that you should have to apologize for, not never apologizing. No one is perfect least of all you. We all make mistakes, that is a part of life. I would have a problem with someone who never felt that they did anything wrong. I take it that an apology doesn't mean a lot to you, that does not mean it doesn't to other people. I hate to apologize, I hate to hurt someone I care about even more. If it can make a situation better and I am truly sorry for the turn of events I will apologize.
I also hate for people to apologize to me. I think in most cases people do what they want. Before I accept an apology I ask the person if they could replay the situation if they would have done things differently. How they answer determines if I accept their apology. I never expect people to apologize and that always makes me feel better when I get one.

No, I don't believe that. We are humans and humans mistakes. We have to say sorry now and then. I mean mistakes like forgetting things or miscommunication and things like that. Not things like cheating. If a couple is cheating on each other, love is long gone. But if the mistakes you are talking about are little, I think you're fine.

definitely a big NO. first of all, everyone makes mistakes. big or small, doesnt really matter. theyre still mistakes. and 2nd, mistakes can ruin relationships. how do you patch things up without saying sorry? a simple sorry can really turn things around. sorrys add to the "mushyness" of a relationship. Sorrys make everything sweeter by a notch. sorry is not just a sorry. get it? saying sorry means you feel bad about and its a word that says "i wont do it ever again."

Does true Love mean never having to say you're sorry ???
NO, because everyone makes mistakes and has to back-off and say that sometime

That was a line from an old late sixties moves called "Love Story".
Showing that you are sorry is more meaningful, but saying it sure does help to stress the point.

All relationships involve compromise and saying you're sorry (but only when you mean it) is just another one of those compromises that help make a relationship work.
If your BF is constantly correcting you and being condescending then maybe it's time to tell him goodbye. He shouldn't try to talk down to you or constantly correct you, even if he does appear to be doing it for your own good.

I think that saying is mostly directed at larger problems such as abuse or infidelity, not to minor problems. True love however does mean that you will never want for knowing your better half, never feel an empty void of half a heart or soul

Just a saying, I love my husband and because I love him I tell him I'm sorry whenever I am! Saying sorry for your actions is a way of showing love.
