This exchange centers on excuse vs explanation.

An excuse intends to justify or remove blame.

An explanation simply retells the events without motivation or justification.

If someone ever says "I don't want your excuse" simply reply "I'm explaining what happened without excusing anything. Would you like to hear that?"
