If you are still wounded, angry, or unhappy, Allow them to apologize and accept their efforts, but make it obvious that you are not yet ready to go ahead. Commit to revisiting it later, once your emotions have settled. " It's nice to hear you apologize, but I'm still upset by what occurred. Let's get together tomorrow night to talk about it." If they refuse to commit, you can say something like: "That's OK, we'll save our energy for more important things." Or you can use one of these lines: "I understand why you'd want to keep moving forward right now. You've got to take care of yourself first. I'll wait." The most effective way to deal with this situation is by using the "rule of three". Make sure they understand how many times they must apologize before you will allow them to move on. If they refuse to commit, repeat the process until they agree to meet you half-way. For example, if they only apologize once, then you should say something like: "That's fine, but I need at least two kisses before you stop sucking me in with your sweet lips." They will probably laugh it off, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Finally, if they keep on apologizing but never commit, it's time to cut them loose.
