One big thing won't do it--we gals don't work like that--but lots of little things, continually--little "gifts" and little efforts to help out and be sweet...
We women respond well to that!
Men often think in terms of doing "one big thing," simply because men are wired that way. But we gals are a different sort (as you well know), and respond differently.
To most of us, a bouquet of flowers and a new car and a backrub and a date to our favorite resteraunt and a sweet compliment with a kiss, etc... Well, they all mean about the same thing--a lot!
We appreciate your thoughtfulness and your care in all the ways you show it...
and when it's shown consistantly, in little ways as well as big, that tells us that you really mean it.
Her forgiveness needs to be based on your apology, not on you doing something for you... (though it's up to
her to choose to forgive, and there's not much you can do about that)....
But her TRUST, which you
do need to win back, will be slowly rebuilt as she sees you doing all sorts of sweet little things here and there.
Women need to know they are SAFE with their man. That's why angry words can be so damaging. So your acts of kindness, in all sorts of little ways, will go a long way in showing her that you really do love and care for her...
Warm Regards,
Molly
