This is a continuation of the discussion on Gary Chapman's five languages of apology. If your apology language is Requesting Forgiveness, you find an apology most sincere when the other person places emphasis on asking for your forgiveness. That makes you feel like the other person values your relationship. It gives you some power back which you feel like was taken away. It honors the notion that you were put in a vulnerable position and the other party wants to see the relationship fully restored by putting themselves in the vulnerable position and putting the future of the relationship in your hands. What you long to hear: I’m so sorry I hurt you, can you find it in your heart to please forgive me?
