Member Chip sends us this important “How to” on a sincere apology. Since this site advocates a strong DIY (do it yourself) philosophy, how to’s are always an interest of note to many.
Apology letter
Hi, Sweetheart!
I am sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights. I guess that sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when you want something. I realize that I was wrong and I am apologizing for being such a hard-headed guy. All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season.
Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights!
I took the time to hang the lights for you today and now I will be off to the hockey rink.
Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday. I’ll be home later.
Love you,
Jack

Hi Honey,
Thank you for your heart-felt apology. I don’t often get an apology from you, and I truly appreciate it.
I, too, felt bad about the argument and wanted to apologize. I realize that I can sometimes be a little pushy. I will try to respect your feelings from now on. Thank you for taking the time to hang the Christmas lights for me. It really means a lot.
In the spirit of giving, I washed your truck for you and now I am off to the mall.
I love you, too!
Barbara
