Guilty and Unapologetic

It’s a strange kind of ache, the one that lingers when someone you care about hurts you and never says sorry. It’s a wound that doesn’t get the chance to heal properly, a door that never fully closes. 

Maybe it was a betrayal, a harsh word, or an act of neglect. You wait for an apology, a moment of acknowledgement, but it never comes. And then you’re left wondering; what do you do with this pain?

I’m guessing you’re wondering if it’s normal, but the truth is some people struggle to apologize even when they know they’re wrong. Perhaps, it is pride, fear of confrontation, or a deep discomfort with admitting fault. Or maybe for others, it’s about control, and thus offering an apology feels like surrendering power, and they’d rather pretend nothing happened. 

Some genuinely don’t believe they did anything wrong, seeing the situation through their lens. But for the person on the receiving end, it’s a different reality.

Unfortunately, waiting for an apology that may never come only prolongs your suffering. So it is best you seek the closure you deserve. However, closure doesn’t always come from the other person, it often comes from within. 

It’s about deciding that your healing isn’t dependent on their remorse. It’s choosing to let go, not for their sake, but for your peace of mind. 

This doesn’t mean excusing their behaviour or pretending it didn’t hurt. It means acknowledging the pain, processing it, and then releasing its grip on you.

Forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. It’s possible to let go of the anger while still keeping a healthy boundary with someone who refuses to acknowledge their wrongdoing. 

Sometimes, walking away is the best form of self-respect. Other times, a person’s inability to apologize is a sign of deeper emotional struggles, and therefore showing them grace can bring unexpected healing. 

But in every case, emotional closure is something you give yourself, it’s not something you wait to receive.

So you can start taking steps towards healing. Try talking it out with a trusted friend or relative, etcor any other option that works best for you. Maybe it’s simply deciding that you won’t let someone else’s lack of remorse define your emotional state. 

At the end of the day, you deserve to be free from the weight of an unresolved hurt. And sometimes, the best apology is the one you give yourself; the permission to move on.
