Recommended

Hey, I've been thinking about our argument and I want to apologize. I was wrong about [specific thing], and I shouldn't have [what you did - raised my voice / said that / reacted that way]. You didn't deserve that. I understand why you were hurt/frustrated. Can we talk when you're ready? I love you and I want to work through this.
