The board would be thinking.. "Hmmm. I guess he really isn't sorry. It must have been only a show the last time he was up for parole. Good thing we didn't let him out.
Also, where did this now all the sudden change from a woman bringing up the past to that means she is holding it over your head or beating you up with it? Do you mean to tell me that you apologized for something and she should just up and forget it forever more? I am here to tell you if you know women at all, then that isn't reality..
You better be darn sure that she is bringing it up to beat you up before you go telling a woman that you don't want to hear about it anymore and that you have already apologized...
I strongly agree with gucci about this. About the worst thing you can do is refuse to listen when a woman needs to talk more about her feelings about something you already apologized for. In fact, refusing to talk more about it, pretty much negates the previous apology, and now she feels worse, and trust you less, than if you had never apologized.
A woman may need to talk about her feelings about something more than once. It doesn't mean she didn't hear that you are sorry. It doesn' t mean she is 'holding it over your head' or 'beating you up about it'. It's not about 'how bad you are' guys. It's about how scared, or hurt or whatever, *she* is.
Look at the result here - in the course of the conversation she apologized to him, for some of her shortcomings as a wife. I'd say he handled it very well.
