Ynot, you seem to be describing mine and my husband's relationship. Of course, I can't really be mad more than a couple of days. At most. And I tried not letting things pass, too. Just meant the fight dragged out and got more heated!
Hubbie and I actually just had this discussion, since he decided to bring up the fact that he apologizes when he is wrong. I couldn't help it. I started laughing and waving my fingers. I said, in fifteen years, I doubt you've apologized as many times than I can count on my one hand.
He said, 'That's more times than you have!"
I started to argue, but I can't remember the last time I apologized. So I just laughed and said, 'well when was the last time I did something I needed to apologize for?'
We sort of laughed our way out of this - since it came on the heels of one fight. No need to start another.
Personally, I think the question should be "Who forgives without receiving an apology the most?"
