If you messed up with your girl, should you always fess up?

Should You Ever Apologize?
This week's letter comes from a man who had a woman right where he wanted her. But rather than keep her there, he got lazy and let himself go. Will apologizing help him cross the "point of no return"?

Does it compromise me to apologize, Doc?

This is why women become lesbians.

I believe honesty is always best. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what lie you told who. Don't try to "get over" on your significant other.

Live a good respectable life and you don't have to live a lie.

Remember Dana Carvey's Mountain Man on SNL? "It's many men like you that make women turn lesbo."

Seriously, how so? I liked the columnist's answer:

My advice to you is this, and it's what I tell all men: Keep your mouth shut. Show her what you mean through your actions. And if your place is a dump, if your car is a mess, if you're a walking Big Mac (by the way, guys, you should be hitting the gym three times a week whether or not you like women!), make the house spic and span, buy yourself a good vacuum cleaner, and make sure you look sharp.
Remember guys; if you don't get sloppy, you won't have to worry about getting down on your knees and apologizing later.
