Sorry is such a misunderstood word in many facets of life but breaking it down further, being sorry for something may seem okay to you, but there are aspects of an apology which can make you sound like a fake.

In the game of love and making up, an insincere apology will break your attempts to get back with your ex. You’re probably asking…”but aren’t apologies all created the same?”

In a word – no. When making up, your apology will determine whether you are accepted back into the fold or whether you’re told to get lost. Think back and try to remember any apologies you made in the past and how sincere they were.

The Magic Of Make Up

Obviously we're assuming you are in the wrong and deserved to be dumped but remember, this doesn't mean you're being ex-communicated from a relationship for good.

So how you react is vitally important. Depending on what level of a break up you’re at, then the chances of getting back with your ex are still good. Obviously this will depend to some extent on how rash you we’re in the initial split.

By rash we mean not resorting to arguing, test message terrorism or phone call terrorism. Obviously if you're on the receiving end of a dumping your ego wants to come into play and you want to prove to your partner they are making a big mistake.

How To Make A Sincere Apology

So what is an effective apology? T W Jackson says in The Magic Of Make Up that the biggest aspect of apologizing to your ex effectively centers around that seven letter word called sincere.

An insincere apology will kill any chance of reconciliation. A sincere apology could go something like this… "Honey, I'm so sorry. You were absolutely right in asking me to leave and I feel ashamed.” That sounds pretty sincere doesn't it?

Now let's add just one word to this apology and then see whether it stands up to any sincerity scrutiny.

"Honey, I'm so sorry. You were absolutely right in asking me to leave and I feel ashamed…BUT you've got to admit, it wasn't all my fault. You had something to do with the way I behaved."

That one word "but"…just made you're apology insincere. The apology is like the final hurdle in making up with your ex. All of the good work you've done previously by following techniques outlined in The Magic Of Make Up will count for absolutely nothing if you don't get the apology right.
