fireliter: when someone regrets what they have done or said to or about you, and you know they regret their actions... do you need still need to hear an apology?
No, I pay more attention to peoples actions than to their words. Some people give fake apologies to try and make themselves look good uk

duh yeah what do you think? Just sweep all the crap that was said under the carpet?

Just treat people like crap and regret it, and what never let the person you hurt know that you are sorry? Sure that's easy, maybe your way.

I would strongly prefer it. I like the formal statement more than the implicit acknowledgment.

Would I need one, NO. That to me would be conditional and I refuse to put conditions on anyone, to the best of my ability....of couse, being human, I back slide from time to time.
I am more inclined to accept one if given. If it was'nt given, that tells me it would not be meant for sure, if they had.

I could also the referse question does an apology fix everything?

Saying I'm sorry when you need to is the right thing to do. It does a lot of good. But by itself, it might not be enough to make everything all better again. Sometimes along with an apology, a person needs to fix the mistake or say they will try to do better. Sometimes doing a nice thing for the person after you apologize helps show that you really are sorry and want to be friendly again.

Sometimes a heartfelt "I'm sorry" fixes everything right away. Other times, it might take a while for someone to feel friendly after you apologize. You might need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you're sorry, you might still feel bad about what you said or did — but you can feel good about apologizing and about making up your mind to do better.

When someone apologizes to you, you might not feel like being friendly again right away. Once in a while, if a person doesn't change, you might not want to be friends anymore. You might feel relieved and glad that the other person apologized and admitted being wrong. But if someone keeps behaving in mean ways or does something that keeps hurting, you might not feel the same way anymore. Just because someone apologizes to you doesn't mean you have to be friendly again. That part is up to you.

thumbs up Yep, you can say it all day long, unless you change and take responsibility for what you've done it means nothing.
