What does this mean to you?
I know this is marriage & divorce. I put this question here because my hubby's family is involved in my question.
Had a falling out via email with hubby's sister earlier this month. It was quite nasty over a date for a baby shower gathering for my hubby's daughter. My sister in law was completely wrong in her way of dealing with the situation. The next morning after I withdrew myself from any family function where she'd be present because I wanted to avoid conflict between her & I, she sends me an email that says this "For the sake of an argument I will take full responsibility for everything" but she never once mentions the words I am sorry. Would you take 'For the sake of an argument I will take full responsibility for everything' as an apology or an easy way out saying she accepts the responsibility of starting this but she does not feel she did wrong?

PS~
Her email was very very nasty accusing me of stuff I never did and saying her brother was not his own man. This was all because we were planning a baby shower get together on hubby's side of the family which we were to pay half for and my sis in law pay half and she planned the get together for a date we already planned to be outta town so hubby called his daughter and asked if another date was okay, which it was with his daughter and his sister got pissed off.

This all depends on how far your husband is willing to go. If he's willing to have no contact with her, then go for it.
But, if he won't get with the program, go ahead and take her "apology'.

try this
Swallow your pride and apologise to her for upsetting her and tell her that you didnt mean forthings to end this way between you and her. And when you do you need to really mean it.
Now your thingking now way in hell am i going to do this
But let me tell you, you'd be suprised at what can come out of it by being humble even if you were in the right
And do not in anyway point out her faults or what she did wrong even if she did.
I have done this a few times and in one case me and a friend got into a major heated argument and i didnt talk to him for about a month then a person i know said why dont you apologise. Anyway to get to the point i built the courage to do so and went to his house and then i left. A week later there was a knock on my door and he comes and apologises to me more than once and said it wasnt my fault anyway we are best friends to this day and he was best man at my wedding as well
So give it a go i mean it wont hurt anything except your pride and that is not such a big thing to lose sometimes
