@seraphinacox: They can be a way to show you listened to her and cared enough to remember her favourite flower when she feels unheard or unseen, but even then, they alone won’t fix things. You need to show that you understand what upset them, why they’re upset, how you’re going to avoid doing it again, and prove that with your behaviour indefinitely moving forward, showing you meant what you said. Otherwise, it’s just a bid to make them stop communicating their feelings to you, and when would that ever create a safe relationship ?

Clarkester :

A line from God Of War is something I've said more than once "Don't be sorry. Be better"

WatchBob :

Flowers are the worst kind of bribe lol

Stephen Mcnutt :

my wife gets flowers randomly when I feel like it and I make sure that they go to her work when she is on lunch so her co worker have to see them and get jealous

machinations :

my gf is a flower scientist so my plan is to learn what each of the flowers mean and construct a bouquet as a narrative on how I will be better for her

jchadofficial :

Gifts don’t help, you need conversation to figure the issue out. The latter can feel like a slap in the face

Adam :

gifts only work if changed behaviour accompanies it.

ΣΤΑ :

so id say flowers are a good way of getting them to listen to your apology. you then need to do the actual apology though

ItsMeMario :

amen

Rho <3 :

I like the grovelling though. it's cute while they try to work out where or how they fucked up because they are too proud to just ask

spnfan21 :

the way I always understood that was to use the floors to be able to start the conversation as a way to bridge the argument back into the loving relationship (I feel like I worded that really badly)

Agphotoforce1 :

I literally did told this to my friend. She didn’t believe me. So I annoyed her and then gave her flowers and apologized. She accepted it and then I annoyed her again. Told her “see I didn’t change or acknowledge what I did, I just tried to buy your forgiveness.”

Mistress🖤🫦 :

Right

The Spookiest Bear :

Accountability and willingness to learn and grow, its crucial to getting anywhere.

NP 126 :

The most important

Truth

NP 126 :

I agree what she said you always have to say sorry and own up to it and talk about it then try to do the right thing next time. Also go for meal somewhere nice and pay but talk is

ritz_cracker_actual :

pffft communication being the absolute minimum for a relationship? how dare you suggest such a thing.

Ash Stark378 :

The gesture begins the conversation. To allow you both to work through the problems. Even if it is one sided, you need to talk it through and understand what you can do moving forward allowing you both to heal

TurtleHealerMain :

Get flowers, then talk and apologise

QueenRangerSlayer :

this is such a good look for you

Alex :

like the purple in the hair 💜

Kieran T :

Literally sit and talk + apologies is how you fix it, not bribery. That includes both relationships and family arguments
