Saying Sorry

My husband and I got into a bit of a tiff yesterday.  I won't get into the details of what the "tiff" was about, but it was like a cold war: we spoke civilly, but really we just avoided one another.  At the end of the day, he said, "sorry", but he didn't mean it.

How do I know this?  No, it's not my psychic abilities - so shush you guys out there being sarcastic and rolling your eyes at my female whining here.  He once said to me, "Well, I just say sorry.  One of us has to and I figure I might as well get it over with."
 

w.t.f.?

So, I know he sometimes just apologizes without really meaning it.  Last night, he said, "That's just what guys do.  We say we're sorry.  We try to get it over with."  My question is...why say something when you don't mean it?  Do you really think THAT is going to solve the problem?

Then, he said to me, "Well, why is it okay when you say you're sorry?"  Um, hello.  I only say it when I mean it.  And that is the truth.  I won't ever tell him sorry when I'm not...because what good is that?

His argument back is that someone has to resolve it.

Um, hello.  That is not resolving the problem.  That's just trying to end the argument...but it just pushes it under the rug until next time.  Annoying.

Sometimes I wonder about my husband's thinking.  It's a good thing I still love the butthead, because yesterday he was really getting on my nerves.
