I'm trying to break the habit of saying, "I'm sorry you feel that way." I've apologizes waaaaàay to many times and IMO it negates her feelings. I'm interested in other people's interpretation.

Although I've said I'm sorry you feel that way when she says things won't work between us, I now say, "I know that's how you feel" or "I realize that you feel that way" or "I see how you would feel that way. (best option) based on how emotional vs. detached I am at that moment.
