I am so very sorry to have hurt you, please tell me what I can do to make it better.

I know I am not perfect and I make mistakes, but I am so glad that I have you to help pick me up when I fall down and help me grow into the best that I am. SORRY

Sorry. How I behaved was unfair.
I’m truly asking for your forgiveness and I hope you believe me.

SORRY
YES
SORRY

Let’s deal with this like we deal with dirty dishes: Either sponge over it or just forget the whole thing until something grows over it.

I want to prove to you that you can trust me – in the big and the small things. It starts with this excuse that I use to pave the way for an honest relationship. Please forgive me.

I know how you feel right now: You have placed your trust in me and I trampled on it. But I would like to make amends if you’ll let me.

Please excuse my behavior last week / month. Your criticism was completely justified and I should have reacted differently to it.

My behavior was unprofessional and inappropriate for the situation. However, I will learn from this mistake and in the future I will be better in everyday working life. To our future work together!

They say the best apology is to change your behavior. Let’s spend time together again so that I can show you my new behavior.
