Someone who readily says they are sorry, but don't change the behavior that causes your hurt....or one who does not give out those apologies that frequently, but works at changing their behavior? Sometimes, to some people those 3 little words just roll off their tongue to get the monkey off their back b/c words have little value and is not tied to personal accountability b/c those 3 little words gets them off the hook. Sending those words into the air space and into my mind is more hurtful when not accompanied with actions then even not saying them. Which one would you prefer?
