Why won't some people ever apologize?

    My husband would never actually say the words in a million years. He would show it by doing something nice (make a dinner or a squeeze of my hand etc...) but wouldn't utter the words in a fit.
    It's something he inherited from his family. For example: I used to find it very odd that one of them might accidentally knock the other one's tea and where the rest of the world would automatically say "sorry" they would just carry on as normal. I would be sitting there screaming the word sorry, in my head, on their behalf!

    Strange yep. Know many a friendship destroyed when a simple apology would help build bridges and help fix things.
    It's stubbornness and it can be deeply ingrained so much.
    Pride hardens the heart!.

    OP, if your friend was very drunk when he said what he said, is it possible that he has no idea what he said? If you haven't spoken to him since, how do you know for sure, that he remembers saying it, but has no intention of apologizing for it?

    Is he is a friend worth keeping? If he is, is there a mutual friend that could point out to him, the damage that has been done & that he needs to get the finger out, if he wants to keep you as a friend? It's not always a given that drunk people remember the shyte that comes out of their mouths when they sober up.
