Welcome to Over50sForum! The site for people over 50 to chat, make friends, discuss, share, and generally be part of something that's fun and friendly :)
Some won't agree, but I think it's more often the men who have the biggest problems with saying sorry - or maybe it's just the ones I have known.
I think generally, women find it easier.
I often hear (or see written) a sentence that starts with, "I'm sorry but I don't agree", which means that the person is prepared to dig their heels in until the cows come home without being sorry at all.
