This is a good way to say sorry to your partner without uttering the words. After all, saying sorry is supposed to show that you regret your actions. You could, for instance, say something like, “I regret that I said such awful things to you out of anger. I should have done better”. Then go ahead and hug your partner and give them a peck. They will see that you are genuinely sorry.
2. “My bad”
You are accepting that you messed up but you are also saying that it’s time to forget about the indifference you had and move on with your relationship.

When we are angry, we can say nasty things to our partners yet we don’t mean it. If that’s the case, just let your partner know that whatever you did or said was simply out of anger.
4. “I know I was wrong and would love to make it up to you”
By first acknowledging your mistakes, it shows how sorry you are. Going ahead and offering to make it up to them shows you are ready not to repeat the mistake.
