When a person says sorry and genuinely means it, acknowledging and moving on is the best thing to do, exceptions notwithstanding. There are several reasons for this.

• Graciousness makes you feel better about the person you are
• It is healthy for you to not hold on to grudges because bitterness always erodes from the inside out
• Finally, it’s best for your relationship

It is important to remember that we will make mistakes too and we should display the same behaviour we would expect when the roles are reversed.
