Episode 32: "Sorry, But Are You Really Sorry? Apology vs. Blame Game"

We’ve all heard it before—“I’m sorry, but…” Is that really an apology, or is it just another way to shift blame? In this episode of Hearts Wine from Hearts Distractions, we’re diving into the messy world of apologies: the heartfelt, the half-hearted, and the downright manipulative.

Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, co-parenting, or navigating blended families, knowing the difference between a true apology and a blame game can be the deciding factor in whether your relationship thrives or quietly crumbles.

We’ll unpack why apologies matter, how generational and cultural patterns shape the way we say “sorry,” and why some people weaponize apologies instead of using them to repair love. Expect real talk, short stories of couples, controversial questions, and research-backed insight from Marriage & Family Therapy, relationship books, and even poetry that captures the raw emotions behind “I’m sorry.”

💡 What you’ll walk away with:

• Honest conversations about what love, commitment, and marriage really look like
• Real advice for overcoming challenges and growing together
• Personal stories from couples and experts
• Deep dives into emotional complexities of relationships, from dating to marriage
• Tips on setting boundaries that actually work and why they matter

This is not your sugar-coated relationship advice. This is real, raw, and sometimes uncomfortable—because love deserves honesty.
