Over-explaining instead of apologizing

No matter how old or mature you are, it is never easy to say, “I’m sorry. I was wrong.” It feels so bad to say that, that our brain usually skips over it, and goes straight into explaining the ways we may have in fact been right. You’ve been there; digging yourself a hole as you try to rationalize doing something that clearly hurt your partner.
