"I’m Only Human", So I (Deliberately) Make Mistakes

We all make mistakes at one point or another in our lives. That is because of the indisputable fact that no one is perfect. No one is capable of making no mistakes.  But are we taking this conviction too far?

We sometimes afford to make mistakes in the hope that at the end of the day we will stage the theatrics of “I’m only human I’m not perfect” and be forgiven in return. But is it really okay to sometimes make deliberate mistakes and compromise our relationships just because “we are not perfect”?  I think some people are just abusing this opportunity, to be precise when it comes to relationships.

A friend of mine once told me that the best way to get a woman’s heart is to annoy her just so you get the opportunity to apologize, it makes her feel special. I was kind of offended by the sexist comment but after hearing his bizarre theory I had to do my little research and as crazy as it seems, it often works. I couldn’t really tell whether it’s because of the fact that women are naturally forgiving or it’s because men who do this are very good at apologizing with gifts and all that you can imagine.

From what I gathered is that generally some people deliberately annoy others using the “I’m not perfect” excuse as a scapegoat. If at all you are human it means you are rational enough to know at the time that your actions have a potential of hurting others. Particularly when people cheat and do other little annoying things in a relationship this becomes a very common defence, “baby I’m sorry I’m only human”… seriously??

Truckloads of flowers, candy and stagy affection to calm the wronged partner usually follow and with time all is forgotten. At the end of the day it just becomes monotonous and the excuse becomes redundant, leading to dramatic breakups. 

I think this is very belittling on women because it makes us look like gullible beings who succumb to the theatrics and forgive at command. Perhaps we need to have a clear understanding with our partners from the beginning that such excuses are out of the question.

There is a not such a thing as love without respect. And a person will only annoy and manipulate your feelings if they don’t respect you which eliminates the presence of any love. We always demand to be treated right thus we should not forget the Golden Rule:

 Act like a Queen to be Treated Like One.
