I don't usually go beyond an apology... and that's if they catch me in a good mood and Im feeling charitable, I have this theory that I adopted in life that got me past a place in my life where I felt guilty for everything always and hurt myself to please everyone else. I don't do that anymore. I look at it like this. If I messed up? I apologize... If that isn't good enough... the problem then becomes yours not mine and I remove myself from it until that person decides what they want to do about it. Im never going to break my back again trying to make another person feel something they just dont want to or are not ready to. Its wasted effort and when it goes on too long, it can become manipulative and petty for them to hold your heart hostage hanging on their every word just because you made a mistake that they themselves may very well have too as NO ONE is perfect and everyone does make them eventually.

Hide, be nice and then offer to buy them a takeway (their choice).

Over the years, I've gotten to know my S/O pretty well...so depending on the anger level, I use different methods of 'rectification'...for instance, 1 is 'apology and kiss on the forehead ', and 10 is 'diamond earrings and weekend at B&B'. Of course the first 10 minutes are crucial, so make sure you can diffuse the issue as best you can within that timeframe. Their parents are also a good resource for determining what cools them off as well (granted you didn't piss them off in the process...make sure you get to them before she/he does)...I hope this helps! Good Luck!

I don't think I've ever done anything to make someone I love very angry..disappointed maybe, but not angry. It would depend on what it was. I should know the person I love and what would or would not anger him/her. Now if this someone I love is possessive and "forbids" me from doing something, that's something entirely different. That person is smothering, possessive and ridiculous..I would question why on earth I was even with such a person! :)

If was wrong, I wait until they clam down. Together we will discuss it and work it out. If I wasn't in the wrong, their going to be mad a long time. I will only attempt to rectify my wrongs, it's up to them to rectify theirs.
