A Ban on Sorry

Hello, friends, there’s a ban on Sorry in our house. Not to be confused with Elton John’s song, “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word”. But a ban on me saying sorry, all the time.

For over 20 years my hubby has been telling me to stop saying sorry for everything. I said sorry for saying the word sorry to my hubby yesterday. In which he responded, “you’re not saying that word anymore right? My reply…oops, sor__, I almost said it again!

I say sorry for things that I don’t need to apologize for all the time. I also say “sorry” when I miss something someone said and need something repeated. I’ve tried. saying “pardon me”, or “excuse me”. But, I’m sorry I can’t seem to change that. Yes, there it is right in my explanation, “I’m sorry but I can’t stop saying sorry” when I need something repeated…ugh. Hubby has agreed to let that one slide (wink).

Please Pin Me!


I even say, sorry to our sweet Izzy (the official blog dog, our eight-year-old fur baby). Yes, I’ve said, “sorry Izzy I need to step over you”, “sorry Izzy you can’t go with us this time”, “sorry Izzy I don’t have a treat in my pocket right now” (yes if I’m wearing something with a pocket there’s a treat in there).


So now with the ban on the word sorry, I’m trying to pay more attention to the things I’m saying sorry for. I don’t think I can completely stop saying sorry for things I don’t need to apologize for, but I’m trying.

Can you relate to this? Are you a serial apologizer? I know it isn’t just me who is saying sorry all the time.

A Lot of women seem to say sorry a lot.

Why are we always saying sorry? Is it in our genetic makeup to say sorry for everything?

Could you have a ban on sorry in your home?

I hope everyone is happy and healthy. Stay safe, stay home ( if you can), stay 6 feet apart and I’ll see you back here on Thursday for TFT ( Thursday Favorite Things blog hop link party for blog writers and blog readers) .

    Omg, no wonder we are friends, because I am always saying sorry more than I need to. Part of it was I was taught as a kid to say sorry and my parents nailed it into me if I was wrong. But you are right, now I tend to say it more than I need to. Funny aside story, my FIL actually said to me in the past that I didn’t need to say sorry for little things like being at the near the counter in the kitchen if he was looking to be near it at the same time. Silly stuff like that. But still he was so right and try to keep my sorries to bigger stuff, but I am still a work in progress all these many years later. Hugs and thanks for letting me know it isn’t just me xoxo <3

    I used to say sorry all the time too but a friend of mine did exactly what your husband did and banned the word. I would say I’m sorry and he would say no “S” word today. Lol, it’s sounds silly but it does help. I think I’m much more aware of when and why I’m saying sorry now and don’t do it out of habit so much anymore. Thanks for the reminder 🙂 Stay safe and healthy!

    I can certainly relate. I have a friend that points it out to me all the time. I just never want to make anyone uncomfortable and if I feel like I have, I say “sorry”. I have apologized to our furbaby too when he was with us.Good luck with your ban. TFS

    I can totally relate this! I have been working on it for years to stop saying sorry in cases where I have nothing to be sorry about. A big one for me was apologizing to cashiers in stores when I have a ton of stuff in the check out line or something rings up incorrectly and I question it. I would find myself apologizing to the cashier especially if they became visibly annoyed. But then I tried really hard to stop apologizing to someone simply because I expected them to do their job. It is a very hard habit to break! I am glad that your husband is helping you to break it! Just keep working at it, you will get there.

    Yes, I do that too. My 29 year old son does it even more than I do! He and I were just talking about that in the last few days. xo
