I noticed a pattern with the guys I've dated that they only apologized once to me in the course of us knowing each other, and that was it, even if they treated me badly afterwards. Then there's other people whom others are doting on and falling all over themselves apologizing to.

What aspects promote either reaction from people? Or indicate how, for lack of a better word, remorseful, people would be towards them?

Unless that's a Synastry thing.

Libra mars: apologizing all the time. Cancer mars do as well.

Leo mars doesn't apologize

But I'm not sure if all of this is just mars

I have absolutely no idea what prompts people to apologize easily or often, but a closely related question that has long puzzled me would be: What chart features make a person strongly dislike receiving (verbal) apologies? I for one can honestly say I absolutely hate getting any. If someone does me wrong, I much prefer the person to signal their regret non-verbally, if at all, and to make amends / change their behavior rather than giving me a speech. I absolutely cannot deal with that sort of thing because it makes me uncomfortable seeing someone humble themselves like that, and I will always interrupt them/cut them short if they try. Inwardly it makes me cringe. Chances are I will have forgotten about the incident in question quickly enough anyway (Aries Moon is bad at holding grudges even if it wants to), and bringing it up again will only remind me of something I've probably long gotten over, so I do not see the point. I guess I also feel that talk is rather cheap, and that it's action which really counts, and I probably have seen all too many fake apologizes lacking true regret, etc...

But since most people seem to really like listening to apologies, I'm aware it's not really logical to react that way. My Mars is in Taurus, for what it's worth. I would be very interested in knowing what placements prompt either behavior in people (apologizing readily/liking verbal apologies/disliking them etc.) so if anybody should have insight on this please share.

My cap rising sister hates apologies. Cap rising wants respect, not empathy.

My mom has scorp rising, cap moon. She doesn't apologize and is so awkward in receiving one.

My guess: strong saturn, low venus, sometimes strong Pluto makes one hate superficiality and this find most apologies to not "get to the core" of things
