Last night at dinner I did a pretty giant "open mouth insert foot". The person just laughed it off, but should I call and apologize, or let it go and not bring more attention to it ? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I mentioned having a great time with another couple and that I thought they knew each other. Then at that moment it occured to me that the couples had been friends in the past and there was a huge and nasty (and justifiably so) "break-up". It was so stupid, but I had gone on and one about this couple and their great qualities which - in retrospect - was pretty insensitive in light of what happened. [ Reply | More ]

I think my eyes got huge like saucers (the "cricket chirping" thing was happening as I spoke) and I said that I was so sorry and that I had forgotten... the rest of the meal I felt like an idiot though. The couple I had been raving about really hurt the coulpe we were with about five years ago. [ Reply | More ]

don't worry about it - if you weren't a part of the problem, then it's not that big a deal [ Reply | More ]

It would depend on the person and the situation. If you apologised at the time I'd leave it at that. [ Reply | More ]

If the person is a friend, I would apologize. Sometimes people laugh things off just to cover up being hurt. If not a friend, you should probably let it go and just remind yourself that you're not perfect and that's a comment you won't make again. [ Reply | More ]
