Making Up to Your Boyfriend

Why is Saying Sorry So Important?

There are differences of opinions, challenges and conflicts in every relationship. In love too, there comes a times when you stick your foot in your mouth and then it gets challenging to ease the tension. When you are apologetic about something you need to be aware that when you say you’re sorry, it actually means you’re stating a fact, by saying you won’t repeat it, you’re committing to a promise and when you want to make it up to your beloved, you’re taking on a responsibility. So with a healthy combination of these three points and love, peace and forgiveness, you can fix all conflicts!

Look for Unique and Effective Ways to Apologize

Get creative, witty and unique with your response to the conflict! Making a move after an altercation can be awkward. Saying ‘I am sorry! Let’s kiss and make up’ in a creative way like printing it out on a sun board with cute smiles, hearts or kisses can be delightfully endearing, sure to melt his heart. You’d scrabble the apology with the game tiles on counter tops, bathroom, closet or living area with candies, flowers and short love notes. If he’s an avid reader, perhaps get him ‘the five languages of apology – how to experience healing in all your relationships’ book with a message on the front page of the book explaining your guilt and a promise to better yourself with an invite to read the book together.

But Make the Apology Personal

When it’s time to confess, don’t rationalize your argument or make it impersonal by getting him a greeting card, or just a gift. Instead, make an effort and put your heart into it by connecting with his emotions. Explain your reasons for the disagreement, your fears and insecurities. Express your love and his place in your life. A combination of your heartfelt words of apology, care and personalized gifts, keepsakes will reveal the love you have for him and how sorry you really are. Options like picture frames, t-shirts, pillows can be customized with whatever you’d like to include, notes on reasons you love him so much or love messages in a bottle can be your close connections to your boyfriend.

Bonus Tip: Say it With a Gift but Mean It from the Heart!

Bonus Tips:

  • There are several unique ways of apologizing and you make it even more special when you do it with love. Your expression of remorse and your words can make all the difference to this conflict. These need not be the only way in, but they do add to the effect of making your boyfriend feel special and cared for. And if you include a surprise element with your apology then it would be an added advantage, because it will reveal just how much you love him and have gone to an extra length to make up for the upset.

  • You’d design a love book for him, in which each page is dedicated to him and a reason why you love him so much. A bunch of sticky notes in random places like his work desk, the bathroom mirror, on the cookie jar, his bread box, his laptop bag, his wallet, shoes, the bathroom mirror or on his car dashboard can work just as well. Fill them all with witty one-liners and make them as creatively apologetic as you can. Get him a pack of nuts with a personal note that says ‘I know I drive you nuts, please forgive me. I am sorry!’

  • You can also buy him a few chilled beer cans, wrap them up together with an attached note saying ‘let’s break the ice’. A pair of flip-flops with a tag that says, "I will make things flip instead of flop if you forgive me", will be a different way to say you’re sorry.
