Help Apologizing

I started a disagreement, a large and loud disagreement with my FI last night that is totally my fault. He did nothing wrong but for whatever pms reason there is I said some pretty terrible things. How do I apologize so he knows I really mean it? Help!!!

Why don't you buy him a nice card and write in there how much you love him and then verbally tell him how sorry you are again when you see him.

Although it's not 'customary' to get a man flowers, one time my FH and I got in a really big fight too, which was TOTALLY my fault (well, more than once - heehee). I wrote him a nice card, and bought him eleven live roses and one silk one. I wrote on the flower card 'I'll love you until the last rose dies'....my FH loved it!

A card would be nice or some candy and rent a nice romantic movie together!

I love Marni's idea. It's too bad I am never wrong when we fight

Re: Help Apologizing

I think saying you are truly sorry means a lot, when you really do feel sorry for something that you have done. Flowers never heart- a new DVD for a guy might even be better.

Re: Help Apologizing

gifts are nice, but saying 'i'm sorry' and 'I was wrong' usually does the job

Re: Help Apologizing

Well, here's the update!
Marni, your idea was perfect. On the way home from work I bought the flowers and card. I couldn't wait to get home (we live together). When I pulled in the driveway the house was dark. I was concerned because FI was supposed to be home. I thought I really upset him and he left, went drinking with the guys etc. I thought the worst! When I opened the door there had to be 100 candles lite all over the living room, den and kitchen. Dinner was made and on the table. A dozen white roses were in a crystal vase with a card that in part said, 'I'm sorry that the stress of the wedding plans have gotten to you and that I haven't been supporting you as much as I should.....' He wrote a book, but you don't need to hear it. This was all my fault, he did nothing wrong. I couldn't beleive that he took the blame for me. Well, we had a nice dinner and dessert.

Thanks to all for your suggestions and help!
You are all truly the best and thanks LIWeddings for allowing us to help each other.

BTW - he loved my flowers and card - Thanks again Marni!
