In the give and take of personal relationships is it ever appropriate to demand someone apologize for some perceived transgression? As opposed to letting the person know what was offensive and waiting for them to offer the apology?
I've run into situations where people describe battles with people and somehow come to the conclusion they must "demand an apology". I think that point sounds aggressive and counterproductive to the resolution of a disagreement, especially if the other party is not good with demands. Is this just a perception or does it work in practice?
