I might apologize because something I did made someone else feel bad, but at the same time not agree with them or their reasoning. The apology is more about how the other person felt, not about who is right/wrong. There are times where I've been incredibly peeved and in the wrong, that didn't mean I didn't deserve an apology - at the time the girl should have apologized - it just meant I wasn't accepting of what happened. Your partner's feelings, if irrational, are on them. The best thing I could do is admit they are entitled to whatever they're feeling and let them deal with it. An apology is worth nothing if thrown around dishonestly just to get out of a situation or out of fear to lose someone. 2
Author Pearl_x Posted July 13, 2020 Author Posted July 13, 2020 Just to clarify for those who seem to have misunderstood. He didn’t ignore me for 4 days. It all started on Wednesday night. The only full day we didn’t talk at all was Friday. I put day 1 day 2 etc as I thought it would help people understand the timeline better than stating the days or yesterday today etc but I guess not so my bad. 1
hippychick3 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 After experiencing being married to someone who would sulk and ignore me for days when angry, I would never tolerate more than a few hours of silence to “cool down.” Ignoring you for even ONE day is a form of control and emotional abuse. 2

I tend to agree with this. I mean, she didn't kill his puppy or sleep with another man... she asked to change their vacation dates. I am not seeing anything there that requires a day's silence. 1
