Who usually apologizes first?

When you squabble with your significant other over silly matters, do you find that one of the two of you tends to apologize first? With my fiance and I, it is usually him because he is able to get over things a lot faster than I am. There are also times where we also sort of apologize together - we'll just hug or lie together after each of us has had some time to calm down from a fight. It helps us to realize that what we were fighting over really isn't that important, and being in each other's arms is very comforting. So, is there one of you that usually apologizes first, or do you have a similar post-fight habit?

I am usually the one to apologize first. I am always the one who it bothers more I guess. My husband can be angry longer than me with most things. I always end up feeling bad if it goes on for to long and I hate that!

I'm like your husband, I can simmer for quite awhile. I understand what you mean about feeling badly when it goes on too long though. It's always rough if something happens close to going to sleep and someone is still bothered when they wake up the next morning.
