Leo Man Apology: Is an Apology on the Horizon?

Leo men are incredibly prideful. If a Leo man makes a mistake, it will be hard for him to admit that. He won’t want to apologize.

If a Leo man does apologize, it might be non-verbally. He may apologize with gifts or by treating you extra well. If you cheer up and accept his gifts, he’ll assume he’s forgiven and leave it at that.

Your Leo man might apologize if he must, but it won’t always be sincere. He may say sorry to save face or alleviate his own guilt.

He Hates Apologizing

Will a Leo man say he’s sorry when he messes up? He might, but many Leo men hate apologizing. It will be challenging to get him to say he’s sorry.

A Leo man may apologize, but that doesn’t mean he will like it! Your Leo man might avoid apologizing for as long as he can and only apologize if it’s clear he has to.

If your Leo man seems irritated while apologizing, that’s to be expected. He will likely be upset that he has to apologize in the first place.

Most of the time, a Leo man is angry at himself, not the person he’s apologizing to. He hates that he messed up enough to need to apologize in the first place. Having to admit he made a mistake is difficult for him.

This magic will make your Leo man want a relationship with you.

It’s Hard to Admit He Was Wrong

A Leo man’s weakness in love is his pride. Sometimes, a Leo man cannot admit he’s wrong, no matter how much better his relationship would be if he did!

Your Leo man might not always apologize to you because it’s difficult to admit he was wrong. In his eyes, apologizing is admitting fault, so he will avoid doing that if he can.

If your Leo man does say he’s sorry, he still might not say he was wrong. He might say he’s sorry you’re upset but won’t admit he made a mistake.

He Might Apologize with Gifts

A Leo man’s apology style is sometimes like his love language. Gift-giving is a common way for a Leo man to apologize. If your Leo man always brings you flowers after an argument, this is his way of saying he’s sorry.

Your Leo man might get you some jewelry you’ve had your eye on after he does something to upset you. Some Leo men will bring a gift and apologize, while others will use the gifts by themselves as a non-verbal apology.

If you accept your Leo man’s gifts and seem to cheer up after he gives them to you, he’ll assume he’s forgiven.

Don’t accept the gifts if you want an “actual” apology from him. Tell him that he can’t just give you things and expect forgiveness.

You must learn to pick your battles, though. Sometimes, a gift is a perfectly acceptable apology. You might choose to accept a gift instead of an apology after a minor argument.
