If he apologizes, it might actually piss me off. Like if he says "I'm sorry about how I handled our break up. I should have been more thoughtful." I'd want to say, "I hope you feel better because you just said that to console your own guilt." I actually don't even know how to respond. I might just nod and then bring up the car seat (which is going to be the last thing as he walks out the door, ha ha.)
I think that nodding is better than nothing at all- it is like you "acknowledge" that he feels sorry for himself (lol) but you don't have to verbally "accept" his apology.
Oh good- I'm glad you are getting him to help you get that car seat installed now! Something to not worry about!
