Should you say sorry?

This in my opinion is a rather controversial topic. Is it better to be the one who says sorry or hold your ground and wait for the other person to give in?

I often notice certain things in relationships in school, work and other places. I see people have an argument, them not talking to each other, and then one of them apologizing and their relationship being normal again. But have any of you ever noticed that often, its the SAME person saying sorry regardless of the fact that both of them was to blame?

I notice that for some people, it's such a hard thing for them to apologize for any wrong they may have done. What does that say about the person? Do they strongly believe in what they say and feel and think they have done no wrong or is their ego just too big that they feel that they shouldn't? And what does it say about those who do apologize, Are they push overs, easily made to feel guilty or do they value the relationship more than the other person?



Obviously, each argument in a relationship is different and what I've said above does not apply to EVERY fight. I strongly believe in the saying 'It takes two to tango' and so not every fight is entirely one person's fault but I think that a simple word like 'sorry' (or the lack of it) can say a lot about a person.

So who would you rather be, the one saying sorry or the one accepting the apology? In my opinion, I hate the tension and I know I am more of a person who is a sorry-sayer than a sorry-receiver.
