Taye, an X user, has sparked a debate by wondering why men are expected to apologise first whenever there’s a fight in relationships, even when the men are in the right.
He criticized this societal norm, arguing that it contributes to societal issues and questioned the rationale behind such practices.

Another user supported Taye’s viewpoint, arguing that apologising just to maintain peace, even when one is right, is not ideal.
This user advocated for a breakdown in relationships to set clear boundaries, stating, “Let it scatter so everyone will learn boundaries. Cohabiting will be smoother after that.”
Toye agreed with this perspective and responded, “Thank you for this” in acknowledgment of the insightful comment.

The fact that men are obligated to apologize to women when the men are right about a situation is one of the reasons why our society is so broken. What kind of ridiculous lesson is that?

Netizens react:
@Neo: “Married men will soon come for you with their “mArRy FiRsT.” You are still single and under 30 which is why you don’t understand these things.”
@Oku: “If a man gets to apologize to a woman when he is clearly right about a situation, then he is weak.”
@Charlie: “This is something i’ll never do, apologize for being right. You can’t manipulate me emotionally. I’ll rather be at peace with myself knowing im right than be at peace with you knowing u are wrong.”
@Emem: “When you say no they say is an argument, you listen to them you’re called weak.”
@BigNezy:”if you’re not wrong, you know you’re not wrong, she knows you’re not wrong, and she knows you know that she knows you’re not wrong; and you apologize for “peace to reign”, anything you see from there, chest am.
