Hi Halildurak,
I would say the reason "for". As for sorry, I think both of them are possible: I �m sorry about/for my behaviour.
Have a nice day!

Definitely the reason for my decision. You can use behind as well, memthefirst, but not of. |

I �ve always used sorry in examples like these: I �m sorry for you (people) I �m sorry about your problem (more general) Maybe I �m wrong, but this sounds good to me. |

Pilar is correct, but I would add that "sorry for" can also mean to regret something.
I �m sorry for hurting your feelings.

It is "for"
Found this:
!! Reason is never followed by of or because. You can talk about the reason for something, the reason that something happens , or the reason why something happens
