3. If your partner seems unreasonably upset, use the blanket apology “I was wrong”
“If she is going to back down, then all I can do is back down as well.” If your boyfriend tends to have a fickle temper, it is actually more likely that he will be quick to back down as well. Cutting the excuses and just making a full-on apology can be surprisingly effective. If you show him that you are sorry, he will probably apologize back for getting overly angry about something trivial.
