It has been big news over the last months that Robbie Williams is back in “Take That.” Recently on a BBC entertainment site there was an interview by Chris Moyles. Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams were talking about the reunion.
Robbie Williams did most of the talking. Referring to nasty things said in the past and their recent get together he said they sat down in a room at one point and simply talked things over and “Said sorry and meant it.” The words he then used to describe the emotional impact of apologising and saying sorry were, “exciting,” “liberating.” It was he said, “like a big load being lifted off my shoulders” and the beginning of a magical 18 months in which they have worked together well again. “It’s nice being able to be grown ups and say sorry and mean it,” he concluded.
Apologising and saying sorry in a relationship are absolutely crucial. No relationship can survive without it and often it is about saying sorry for small hurtful things said or done. Of course, there will be those who need to apologise over bigger issues.
What “excitement and liberation” might attend your relationship if you took the first step and said sorry for specific words and actions which have grieved your partner and under-mined your relationship! You too may experience the “load off your shoulders” and the return of “magical moments” together. And with apologising, it is not a one off. It needs to be on-going.
Trouble is, “Sorry seems to be the hardest word” said Elton John. But then again, it is nice being able to be grown up and say sorry and mean it.
