but respect is also acknowledging your impact despite your intention. it doesn't mean anyone was right or wrong, just means you see the other person's hurt and use that to learn to communicate better and consider them more when making certain choices.

True! However, the other partner can acknowledge that intent does not always balance out the impact.

Seeking clarity is needed, especially in ambiguous situations. But there’s a distinction between clarifying intentions and excusing disrespect. If your partner, friend or family calls you an idiot, makes unsolicited comments about your body under the guise of preference, or repeatedly does things you’ve explicitly said you dislike, how much clarification do you really need? Sometimes a spade is simply a spade. You can give someone the benefit of the doubt without giving them unlimited opportunities to disrespect you.

Acknowledgement of one’s fault before explaining the misunderstood intention or problem. Fixes a lot of hidden resentment and anger. During the initial phase of the argument.

Still, discuss intent vs. impact.
It's just as important to know how they impacted you with the way they chose to respond just as much as it is for you to understand if their intent matches your perception.
Respect goes both ways.

thats basic human communication, if you cant do that your living in the lies of your own reality.

Intent impact or two different things so yeah, we could definitely stop guessing your intent and just talk about the impact.

While this is true, intent does not negate impact. Just because you didn’t intend to hurt someone, doesn’t mean their hurt is not valid.

and respect is also acknowledging the impact it had even if it wasnt the intention and apologizing if it hurt their feelings or upset them. Both side to this matter and one side without the other side isnt respect its manipulation.

intent is irrelevant if your partner hits you on accident because they were trying to open a bag of chips you are still going to want them to apologize
