What happens when you find out you Were Wrong?
No one enjoys being wrong. It’s an unpleasant emotional experience for all of us. The question is how do we respond when it turns out we were wrong—when there wasn’t enough milk left for coffee, when we hit traffic and missed the flight, or when we find out the man who sat in jail for five years based on our identification was innocent all along?
Why do certain people will never admit they were wrong?
As a result, they come up with statements, such as, “I checked in the morning, and there was enough milk, so someone must have finished it.”
What does it mean when someone is wrongfully executed?
Wrongful execution. Wrongful execution is a miscarriage of justice occurring when an innocent person is put to death by capital punishment.

Are there any cases of wrongful execution in the UK?
In the UK, reviews prompted by the Criminal Cases Review Commission have resulted in one pardon and three exonerations for people executed between 1950 and 1953 (when the execution rate in England and Wales averaged 17 per year), with compensation being paid. Judicial murder is a type of wrongful execution.
Why is it bad news if a relationship has gone wrong?
That’s why it’s bad news if that relationship has gone wrong in some way. The Mama’s Boy compares all women to his mother. Whether he hates her or is obsessed with her, he is blind to the fact that he is replaying his relationship with his mom with every woman he gets involved with.
