Between divorcing adults, an apology, the genuine article, can promote dialogue, decrease emotional distance and even help to re-establish trust. At its very best, it is a healing gesture and a symbol of willingness to take responsibility for misbehavior and to own up to being human. It can also communicate a desire to truly hear and understand (and empathize with) the emotional consequences of the wrong doing that have been brought upon the injured spouse.
As Betsy has, I have occasionally witnessed, the positive impacts of a genuine apology from the divorcing 'wrong doer' (or from both spouses) regarding their role(s) in the failure of the marriage.
