Hey Antlers.....you know what??? I don't know what I was thinking when I told you to say you hate she feels that way about something! I do stick by not saying you are "sorry". I also think it is correct in NOT saying you understand her "feelings"--as somebody pointed out (which was a good point and I'm glad they did). I had the right thing in my head (which was really what Coach was saying) but for some reason, my fingers didn't know how to type that.... But, I am glad Coach and some others came across and told you straight. Man! I apologize for that mess-up and hope I did not make matters worse for you. I do stick with just listening and nodding your head when you are not sure what else to say or do. Kind of hard to do unless you are in person, though.

Hi Sandi,
No sweat! What do you think about saying "I can see what you're saying", or "I can see how what I did would make you feel that way", or "I can see how me doing_________________would make you feel that way"? I wouldn't be saying 'sorry' or 'I understand'.
Keep in mind, these conversations take place over the phone, or via text message.
Talk to 'ya later.
