Should he apologize for the inappropriate jokes he made years ago to a female friend?
Several years ago, I was involved in projects with a female friend . I occasionally made jokes and said things that in retrospect I realize were inappropriate. She finally set me straight.
I know there are other men who have been even guiltier than I, but they have never apologized. Do I need to? Would my apologizing now, years later, be just for my benefit — or would it be a kind gesture to a good friend?Other people doing worse things than you have done should not enter into your equation. You cannot justify your own choices by finding negative examples to compare yourself to.
