Will Your Leo Man Apologize (After Upsetting You)?

A Leo man’s lack of apology doesn’t mean he’s not sorry. He might feel guilty but be unable to apologize the way you want him to. He may apologize with gifts or in other ways that avoid saying, “I’m sorry.”

Your Leo man might also give an insincere apology to save face. If not apologizing makes him look bad, he’ll eventually apologize even if he’s not truly sorry.

It can take a long time for a Leo man to learn how to apologize correctly and how to talk things over when he believes an apology isn’t necessary.

He Hates Being Wrong

Many Leo men hate being wrong. It can be challenging to admit they did or said something wrong because it’s a massive blow to their pride!

If your Leo man hates being wrong, it will be difficult for him to apologize. He might see an apology as an admission of wrongdoing, so he’ll be extra avoidant!

It will be frustrating when your Leo man can’t admit he’s wrong. He’s likely to upset you more by refusing to accept he did anything wrong in the first place, even if he genuinely hurt your feelings.

If your Leo man won’t apologize to you, that doesn’t always mean he’s not sorry. He might feel bad for upsetting you, but admitting he’s wrong will be difficult for him.

You might notice that your Leo man doesn’t fully accept responsibility for his actions, even if he does apologize. He might say things that take the blame off of him so that he doesn’t have to admit he was wrong.

This is the #1 mistake women make with a Leo man...

He Can’t Admit His Mistakes

Will a Leo man apologize for upsetting you? Sometimes he won’t because that would mean admitting he made a mistake, and he can’t always admit to that.

Just like a Leo man can’t admit he’s wrong, he also can’t accept it when he’s made a mistake. If he accidentally said or did the wrong thing, and that resulted in him hurting your feelings, he won’t always admit to it!

A Leo man who has made a mistake that you’ve yet to discover likely isn’t going to admit to it. If he did something to betray your trust, you probably won’t hear it from him.

Your Leo man might also double down on his behavior when he makes a mistake that hurts your feelings. Instead of saying he misspoke or was just careless, he’ll insist that you are in the wrong for being hurt instead.

A Leo man might apologize if you’re upset, but he won’t always admit that his mistake was why you’re upset. He’ll try to avoid saying he messed up at all costs.

He Won’t Apologize Right Away

How long does it take for a Leo man to apologize? Your Leo man likely won’t ever apologize right away, even if it’s apparent that he’s messed up. He’ll take his time.

A Leo man might wait to see if you forgive him without an apology. If you seem upset after he says something insensitive, but you calm down and get over it, he won’t feel like he has to apologize.

If you want an apology, you might have to wear your Leo man down sometimes. He might refuse to apologize and hope you get fed up and drop the subject!

Sometimes, you must make it clear that you won’t forgive your Leo man without an apology. If you tell him you’re upset and require an apology and then avoid him until you get one, he’ll eventually apologize.

This one weird trick is the only way to attract a Leo man.

He Might Apologize To Save Face

Do Leo men ever apologize? Some Leo men are better at apologizing than others. A Leo man who desperately wants others to like him might apologize to save face if his lack of apology makes him look bad.

There are some hints that your Leo man is just apologizing to save face. If he refuses to apologize unless you tell someone else about what he did, then suddenly wants to tell you he’s sorry, he’s just apologizing so he doesn’t look back.

Leo men care about what others think of them. While some Leo men will refuse to apologize, others will apologize even when they aren’t sorry if they feel that will make people think highly of them.

If your Leo man makes a big show of apologizing to you in front of other people or apologizing online, he’s just trying to save face. He doesn’t care about apologizing. He doesn’t want people to think poorly of him.

He Might Feel Guilty

Whether or not a Leo man apologizes for hurting you, he likely will feel guilty if he genuinely cares about you.

A Leo man who loves you doesn’t want to upset you. He wants to make you feel good! He’ll feel guilty about it when he fails to make you happy.

If you want to know how to make a Leo man feel guilty for upsetting you, make it obvious how upset you are. Don’t let him forget that you’re sad and that he’s the reason why.

Ignoring a Leo man after a fight might make him feel guilty. If you usually calm down on your own and forgive him without an apology, don’t do that the next time you argue. Ignore him instead.

A Leo man who feels guilty will likely continue to feel guilty until you forgive him or move past whatever he did to upset you. If you refuse to forgive him without an apology, he might finally apologize to alleviate his guilt.

The simple secrets you can use to seduce and keep your Leo man (they work like magic)

His Apologies Might Be Insincere

When a Leo man says sorry, that’s not always an admission of guilt. While some Leo men will completely avoid apologizing, others will apologize to try and resolve issues quickly.

A Leo man apologizing to save face will likely be insincere. If he’s only apologizing so you’ll stop being mad at him, his apology isn’t as genuine as you want it to be.

You’ll know your Leo man is insincere because he might say, “I’m sorry if you’re upset.” He won’t specifically say that he’s sorry for what he did. He’ll say he’s sorry that you feel a certain way.

An insincere apology might be brief if your Leo man is apologizing to you. However, he might give you a more dramatic apology if he’s apologizing in front of others.

He Might Apologize With Gifts

A Leo man’s apology style typically involves gifts and actions rather than words. Instead of verbally apologizing, your Leo man is more likely to bring you gifts and try to make you feel better that way.

If your Leo man apologizes, it will typically be with a gift or two. If your Leo man shows up with chocolate after an argument, that’s his way of apologizing!

Your Leo man will likely give a gift instead of a verbal apology. He’ll bring you presents, then assume that he’s forgiven if you cheer up and accept the gift.

Sometimes, it’s best to accept your Leo man’s gifts as the apology they are. There might be times when you need an actual apology, but learn how to pick your battles!

Is your Leo man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Leo back in.

He Won’t Say, “I’m Sorry”

How does a Leo man apologize? Even when a Leo man gives you a sincere apology, he might avoid saying, “I’m sorry.”

Your Leo man might say, “I feel bad that you’re upset,” or “I feel guilty,” when he’s apologizing verbally. If he’s sincere and trying to own up to a mistake, he might say he was wrong.

It will take a lot for your Leo man to apologize, though. For some reason, this is incredibly difficult for a Leo man to say!

It’s up to you to decide if your Leo man’s apology is good enough. Don’t get too hung up on hearing, “I’m sorry,” though. He might be entirely sincere and remorseful without actually saying that!

He Wants You To Forgive Him

Your Leo man will likely expect you to forgive him, whether or not he gives you an actual apology. He might think that you should calm down and forgive him no matter what, or he may believe that giving you a gift means you should forgive him.

How do you make a Leo man feel sorry? If your Leo man gives you an insincere apology or he refuses to say he’s sorry, make it clear that you don’t forgive him.

A Leo man might not always apologize when he does something to upset you, but he will expect you to forgive him. If you typically get over things without an apology, he’ll start to expect that from you.

Sometimes, you’ll need to let a Leo man know he hurt you too badly for you to forgive him easily. If you can’t forgive him after his typical apology gifts or without hearing him, say, “I’m sorry,” tell him that.
