Will Your Leo Man Apologize? What to Expect!

Updated November 20, 2024

You’ll likely get a Leo man’s apology if he does something to upset you, but it won’t always be sincere.

Leo men sometimes apologize to save face or get things over with, and not because of actual guilt or remorse.

Will you get a genuine apology from a Leo man? You might, but not all his apologies are sincere, and he won’t always express genuine remorse.

A Leo man’s pride sometimes gets in the way of an apology. He might shift the blame or pretend like nothing happened. He may apologize with gifts but not actually say he’s sorry.

If your Leo man is sincere, he’ll be remorseful. He won’t just apologize to make you happy, and he won’t act as if you were the one in the wrong.

He’ll Apologize to Save Face

he'll apologize to save face

Will a Leo man apologize? He might, but it won’t always be for the right reasons. Sometimes, a Leo man isn’t genuinely sorry. He’s just apologizing to save face.

Leo men care what other people think about them. Your Leo man might be brutally honest sometimes, but that doesn’t mean he wants people to think he’s rude. He’ll want to apologize if there are negative social consequences for something he’s said or done.

Some Leo men give in to pressure from others. If your Leo man upsets you, and all your friends get mad at him for it, he’ll be more likely to apologize than when nobody knows what he’s done.

A Leo man might publicly apologize if he messes up at work or makes a mistake in front of many people. That does not mean he’s sorry, though. He doesn’t want people to be mad at him.

A tiny trick to snatch your Leo man's heart?... even if he's cold and distant...

He Might Shift the Blame

he might shift the blame

If you expect an apology from a Leo man after an argument, you might not always get what you want. Instead of apologizing for hurting you, he will likely shift the blame and make things your fault.

There will legitimately be times when you both need to apologize. A Leo man won’t just apologize when that happens, though. He’ll blame you for what happened and refuse to acknowledge his role in the issue.

If your Leo man says that you’re too sensitive or that you just misunderstood something he said, he’s shifting the blame. If he says he only said something insensitive because you made him angry, he’s blaming you for the situation.

If you aren’t to blame for the situation, don’t let your Leo man do this. He won’t like it, but do not take the blame when you genuinely didn’t do something wrong.

He May Pretend Nothing Happened

he may pretend nothing happened

Sometimes, instead of apologizing, a Leo man will pretend nothing happened. If he made a mistake but thinks nobody noticed, he won’t fess up to it.

A Leo man might pretend like you two never argued if you had a disagreement. If he said something offensive, but nobody calls him out, he’ll act as if it never happened.

Ignoring a Leo man after a fight or giving him the silent treatment won’t always work if you’re trying to make him feel bad for upsetting you. If he’s already acting like nothing happened, your silence will make that easier.

To get an apology from a Leo man, you must acknowledge he did something wrong. He won’t always apologize on his own. He’ll act as if he didn’t do anything wrong in the first place.

This magic will make your Leo man want a relationship with you.

His Pride Can Get in the Way

his pride can get in the way

When a Leo man is upset about making a mistake, he can sometimes let his pride get in the way. Instead of acknowledging the mistake and properly apologizing, he’ll brush things aside and try to ignore that he did anything wrong in the first place.

If your Leo man refuses to apologize, even to keep the peace, he’s letting his pride get in the way. If he won’t even give you a quick, insincere apology, he’s refusing to acknowledge that he did anything wrong.

It’s difficult to admit a mistake. Many people have problems with that. A Leo man takes this to the next level, though. He might see apologizing as a hit to his pride, so he’ll refuse to do it.

If your Leo man is too prideful to apologize, that will eventually ruin his relationships with others. Giving no apology at all is typically worse than giving an insincere one.

He Won’t Always Be Sincere

he won't always be sincere

A Leo man’s apology style is not always sincere. If he’s apologizing to save face or get you off his back, he might just say what you want to hear. He won’t truly apologize or acknowledge that he did anything wrong.

A Leo man who is giving an insincere apology might say things like, “I’m sorry if you’re upset,” or he might try to insist that hurting you wasn’t his intention. He’ll focus on his feelings and on making excuses instead of on you.

An insincere apology might be incredibly brief. Your Leo man might not even say he’s sorry. Instead, he’ll talk around it or try to convince you that he didn’t do anything wrong.

If you think your Leo man’s apology isn’t sincere, you don’t have to forgive him! Tell him to come back when he’s ready to apologize.

Use these secrets to make your Leo man love you (they work like magic)

He’ll Apologize with Gifts

he'll apologize with gifts

How does a Leo man apologize? It’s common for Leo men to apologize with gifts. Whether or not he’s sincere, your Leo man might use gifts to sweeten the deal regardless of whether he says he’s sorry.

Gift-giving tends to be one of a Leo man’s love languages. If he knows he messed up, he might show up at your place with flowers or another token of his affection for you.

Gifts can’t always tell you whether or not a Leo man is sincere in his apology. He might get you an incredibly thoughtful gift to make you forgive him, even if he doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

If a Leo man gives you a gift and doesn’t say sorry or acknowledge he did anything wrong, he’s just trying to butter you up. If he says he’s sorry and gives you a gift, there’s a higher chance he’s sincere.

He’ll Try to Distract You

he'll try to distract you

Instead of apologizing, a Leo man might try to distract you and get you to focus on something else. Gifts are one potential distraction, but that’s not all he’ll do.

A Leo man might suddenly want to take you on a date after he’s done something to upset you. If he did something wrong, but he’s not sure if you know yet, he might try to distract you with constant activity.

If you’re in a relationship with a Leo man, you’ll likely start to notice his attempts to distract you. Don’t let him distract you if you want an actual apology from him. Call him out on what he’s doing instead.

Sometimes, a distraction might be nice when you’re upset. Don’t let your Leo man get away with ignoring his mistakes, though.

This one weird trick is the only way to attract a Leo man.

He’ll Be Upset If You Don’t Forgive Him

he'll be upset if you don't forgive him

A Leo man usually expects forgiveness when he apologizes to someone, even if his apology isn’t sincere. He might brush you off and give a half-hearted apology, but a Leo man will be upset if you don’t forgive him anyway.

However, if you want to know how to make a Leo man realize his mistake and give you an actual apology, you must make it clear that you don’t forgive him. He’ll be upset, but don’t let him manipulate you into forgiving him when he hasn’t truly apologized.

If you accept a gift from a Leo man, he’ll assume that means he’s forgiven. If he apologizes and you don’t bring up the issue again, he’ll also believe it’s over. If you don’t forgive him, tell him. Don’t just hold a grudge.

He Might Not Actually Say He’s Sorry

he might not actually say he's sorry

A Leo man won’t always say he’s sorry, even if he does give you some apology. This is typically a sign that he’s not sincere or too prideful to apologize.

Your Leo man might talk a lot during an apology. He may explain himself and give excuses. He might say sweet things to try and cheer you up and get you to stop focusing on what he did wrong.

If you pay attention, you’ll notice that the words “I’m sorry” never cross his lips. He’s good at talking around an actual apology.

If you want to make a Leo man feel guilty for giving you a half-hearted apology, point out that he didn’t actually apologize. If he talks around saying sorry or tries to use gifts and favors instead of a genuine apology, call him out on it.

The simple secrets you can use to seduce and keep your Leo man (they work like magic)

He’ll Be Remorseful If Truly Sorry

he'll be remorseful if truly sorry

When a Leo man hurts you and genuinely feels sorry for doing so, he’ll be remorseful. He will give you an actual apology where he acknowledges what he did wrong and desires to do better in the future.

A Leo man will express remorse by owning up to what he did. Instead of making excuses, he’ll take responsibility for his actions. Instead of shifting the blame, he’ll accept that the blame is his.

A remorseful Leo man will make the apology about you, not himself. He won’t expect immediate forgiveness and will be understanding if you need time to think things through after his apology.

If a Leo man is genuinely sorry, he’ll also change his behavior. He’ll show remorse by trying to fix his mistake.

  1. Gifts won’t always fix everything, but I get it. My Leo guy isn’t big on saying sorry, but when he gives me a thoughtful gift, I know he’s trying. It’s the effort that matters, right?

  2. Leo men and their pride, I’ve dealt with that! Sometimes, a simple apology becomes a pride battle. It’s like, just say sorry, but no, they have to dance around it. Ugh!

  3. Remorse speaks louder than words. When my Leo guy truly apologized, it was like a weight lifted. No fancy gifts, just genuine remorse. Actions over words any day.
