One character has hurt or betrayed another, usually their love interest. Perhaps their love learned that they only started dating because of The Bet, or perhaps the offender accuses the other of cheating. In any case, they are now in a Second-Act Breakup. Eventually, however, the offender decides that they cannot live without their love interest or learns that they were horribly mistaken about them. But how to make it up to them? How to convince them to take you back? By groveling, an act of apology so sincere the love interest will have to forgive you. This may take the form of a long speech but occasionally circumstances call for something more drastic to prove they have really changed. The offender is usually male and the forgiver usually female, but not always. When done well, this trope provides drama and emotional catharsis for the audience. Debts have been repaid, sins have been forgiven, and the couple will now live Happily Ever After. When done poorly, this trope can be seen as demeaning or emasculating the offender. The penalty is too harsh for the crime, and the apology is too extravagant for such a minor offense. On the other side of poorly done, this trope can make the forgiver appear weak. If reparations have not been made, a simple apology may be letting the offender off too easily. In real life, the Domestic Abuse cycle often consists of abuse — apology — abuse, which may imply that the abuse will continue. This trope is common in Romance Novels, Breakup Songs, and Romantic Comedies. The Pose of Supplication may or may not be involved. See also Idiot Houdini. Romantic examples sometimes overlap with Fair-Weather Ex. Work Subpages Manga-Waido Revenge Films |

RomCom Manga Chan: In stories where Kent's previous girlfriend dumps him, said girlfriend will eventually come back to Kent and beg him to take her back, only to be told off by either Kent or Mary. Reiko broke up with Subaru and begged Kent to take her back when she found out he was dating popular girl Mary Toyota. Chihiro waited at the doorstep of Mary and Kent's house to beg the latter to marry her since she sank into debt after losing money in a foreign exchange trade and begged him a million yen to pay the traders back. |

"betty" from folklore (2020) is about a guy named James groveling to the titular Betty about cheating on her. He says that his fling wasn't anything serious, he wants her back, and he's sorry for what he did to her. Like "Back to December," it's ambiguous whether or not Betty takes him back, but other songs on the album that are connected imply that she does. | |

Twice in The Parasol Protectorate. In Soulless, Lord Maccon treats Miss Tarabotti in a way that is considered a sign of high respect and romantic interest in his native culture, but in the culture they're both currently living in it's the height of rudeness. In Blameless, after Lord Maccon publicly accuses Alexia of cheating on him, he prints a retraction and apology in the newspaper. |

In 10 Things I Hate About You, after getting Kat so royally pissed off at him that she won't speak to him, Patrick is instructed to "sacrifice yourself on the altar of dignity and even the score." Patrick opts for a marching-band-assisted rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" in the middle of her soccer practice which nets him detention. However, she forgives him and helps him get out of detention. | |

Several times in Hayate the Combat Butler, Hayate thinks he has done something to make Hinagiku angry with him and he invokes this trope in an attempt to smooth things over. This usually surprises her, both because he hasn't done anything of the sort and she would have forgiven him instantly anyway. Taken even further when he actually begins to grovel for something that actually does anger her, along with the fact that he'd even tried to hide it, but then she makes a statement that confuses him, and then helps him correct the mistake. |

Frank is depressed to the point of attempting suicide, so Earl tries to help them get back together. Frank posts a nude picture of himself on a billboard, and Billie sees that Frank is willing to do anything for her and agrees to give him another chance. It doesn't last too long because Earl sees that Frank had corrupted Billie and caused her to give up her dreams of being a nurse, and convinces Frank to gently break up with her. Earlier, Earl had a golfer on his list that he caused to become obsessed with golf, which caused the golfer to lose his girlfriend. They get the golfer to go to his ex's apartment, and because of the way his golf clubs were arranged as he was burning them, Earl and the golfer got Mistaken for Racist three times. |

"Back to December" from Speak Now is a rare female-groveling-to-male variant, with the narrator asking her ex-boyfriend to get back together. In the process, she apologizes profusely for hurting him, saying the breakup was 100% her fault and he didn't deserve the way she treated him. She also admits she has no right to expect him to take her back and says she understands if he won't, but she loves him too much to not at least try. It's ambiguous whether the grovel works. | |

In season 2 of Good Omens (2019), Crowley performs the "I was wrong" dance for Aziraphale after they had a fight. In season one, he also apologised a lot in order to get back together with Aziraphale after the bandstand breakup scene. Apparently, Aziraphale did the dance in 1650, in 1793, and in 1941. |
