“I’m really sorry about the other night. ” “I can’t express to you how sorry I am about what happened. ” “I owe you an apology, and I’m really sorry. ”

“It was wrong of me to get upset at you when you were trying your best to make our night a good one. ” “I was completely in the wrong to have called you those names. ” “I shouldn’t have lost my temper—there was no reason that we couldn’t have had a calm discussion. ”

“I’ve been thinking about our fight all day, and it’s really been bothering me. ” “I really regret that I acted like that in front of you. ” “I’ve been upset all night thinking about the fact that I yelled at you. ”

“I’d just been dealing with my mom, and I came into our conversation already upset. ” “I’ve been feeling really depressed lately, but you don’t deserve to be the target. ” “Work has been really tough these past few days, but I should have left those feelings in the office. ”

“I know it must be really hard on you to have me constantly doubting your commitment to me. ” “I know that you’re trying your best, and that our fight must have really bothered you. ” “I understand that you’re a kind and sensitive person, and so expressing myself in an angry way like that must be really difficult for you. ”

“I really love you, even if I don’t show it all the time. ” “You’re my best friend, and I care about you so much. ” “I value having you in my life more than anything. ”

“I know I’ve been pretty emotionally off lately. I think it would help our relationship for me to talk to a professional, and so I’ve scheduled an appointment with a therapist. ” “I realize that my anger has become a problem for us. I want to make things better, so I’ve decided to start taking anger management classes. ” “I’ve been really irresponsible with our money. How about if we work on making a budget together?”

“I really don’t want to have a repeat of last night, so could we schedule some time to talk about how we’re feeling?” “I want to learn how to communicate with you better—would you be okay with having a conversation about this tonight?” “I know that feelings were really hurt the other day. I think we could process this better by having an open conversation. ”

“I want to show you that I care about you, so I made you this playlist that reminds me of you. ” “I know we just went through a rough patch—maybe I could plan a date for us so that we can spend some quality time together?” “I’m really sorry for what happened, and I got you a gift that I think you might like to try and make it up to you. ”

“I really want to express how sorry I am to you face-to-face—can you carve out some time this weekend?” “How about if we head to the park this evening? I think it would be good to talk about what happened. ” “Any dinner plans tomorrow? I want to get a chance to apologize to you not over text. ”

“I’d like to ask you for your forgiveness, if you’re ready. ” “I want to be able to move on from this, but I know it’s not entirely my decision. ” “I know I’ve really hurt you, but could you forgive me?”
