Accepting an Apology - Do's & Don'ts
>You Do
Forgive someone when he or she says, "I'm sorry." Then you move along as if the mistake never happened.
>You Don't
Let yourself be taken advantage of. If your friend's dog chews up your comic book every time you loan him one, you may still accept his apology - but you don't have to loan him any more comic books.
>Why
Being a gentleman does not mean you have to let people treat you badly. Sometimes, if someone does the same inconsiderate things or hurts your feelings over and over again, you may want to keep your distance from them.
