Sometimes a person might stray away from their relationship, but if they apologise the right way, they could get away with it.

According to Huffington Post, for an apology to be genuine and be accepted, one has to do a fair amount of introspection to figure out what they are apologizing for.

Instead of passing the blame, accept responsibility. When one admits to their partner that they hurt them with their actions, one should give a full account of all the wrongs committed, the report said.

Giving alternatives helps, as it conveys to your partner that you understand there could have been a better way of handling things, and gives hope that you will make better choices in the future, the report added.

Also, while apologizing, your sole goal should be to make sure your partner hears you. Don't have any expectations or place any conditions on them.
