It seems like most in here votes against apologizes but at the same time it seems like most have done it or will do it so this is my personal opinion and nothing else!!!! You will find a lot on this subject in here.
My personal opinion is at the moment: (After discussing it in here my opinion has changed a lot but you can read some about this topic in my thread! It will possible change again!)
You should offer an apology at some point and then leave it rest. The apology should be short The apology should be spoken You need to point out concrete matters. Do not excuse your general behavior without an example or two. Be specific! You should do it in your own words You should do it in a calm environment when you and W are rested, children sleeps, TV is of and so on…. Do not take all the blame. Own your own faults but nothing more! Do not say ILY or anything like that! Apologizing is per definition pursuing so keep it to a minimum! You can find a lot of material about apologizing. WWW, books and so on! IMO if you do this then do it good! You only have one shot at this! You should address her feelings and not only your doings!
She properly already knows that you are sorry but I think this is needed for one big reason. You need her to forgive you! First step towards forgiveness is an apology IMO. Again: I am not a vet and this is MY opinion. I hope others will join in on your question!
