REAL DECODES
Responding to sorry, by the situation.
A vague 'sorry' to smooth things over
Ask for moreA throwaway 'my bad' that skips what actually happened deserves gentle honesty about what you needed. Don't rush to 'it's fine.'
He's apologized for this before
Watch behavior, not wordsRepeat apologies for the same thing mean the pattern matters more than the sorry. Believe actions over the next promise.
You're still hurt
You can say thatYou don't have to perform 'okay' before you feel it. Honesty about where you're at is fair and keeps it real.

FAQ
More about responding to an apology.
What do I say when a guy apologizes?
Match your response to the apology. A genuine, specific sorry earns warmth; a vague one deserves honesty about what you needed; a repeat one calls for watching behavior, not words. DearHim helps you find the right reply.
Should I forgive him right away?
Only if you actually feel it. You can accept an apology without pretending the hurt didn't happen. Rushing to 'it's fine' often buries something that resurfaces later.
What if he keeps apologizing for the same thing?
Then the apology has stopped meaning much. Look at whether his behavior changes — that's the real apology. Words on repeat are just words.
Is this really free?
Yes — getting the words takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to remember the context.
