Sorry messages
The apology that works on a husband is usually shorter than you think and more specific than you want it to be. These six do both, and none of them ask him to apologise back.

Continue writing opens that message in the card with the words already in it, so all that is left is to change a word and send it. The last message is the longest of the six, and it is the only one you have to copy across yourself.
I'm sorry. I took it out on you and you weren't the problem, and I knew that even while I was doing it. That's what I feel worst about. You've been patient with me all week and I repaid it badly. Let me make it up to you.
Continue writing with message 1That was unfair of me and I could hear it as I was saying it. I'm sorry. I don't want to be someone who wins an argument by being the loudest in the room, and that is exactly what I did. You deserved better than that from me. ❤️
Continue writing with message 2I'm sorry I didn't back you when it counted. I should have said something in that room, in front of everyone, and I let the moment go past instead. You'd never have done that to me. I've thought about it all day, and I'm sorry.
Continue writing with message 3I've been short with you for days over things that had nothing at all to do with you. I'm sorry. You keep absorbing it quietly, which somehow makes it worse. Tell me what you actually need from me and I'll do that instead of guessing.
Continue writing with message 4I'd rather sort this out than be right about it, and if you'd asked me yesterday I'd have said the opposite. I'm sorry. I was wrong, I know it now, and I'm not going to make you drag the apology out of me piece by piece.
Continue writing with message 5I'm sorry, properly, not the quick kind that just ends a conversation. I took it out on you and you weren't the problem, and I knew it at the time. You've absorbed a lot from me this month without complaining, which makes it worse rather than better. Tell me when you want to talk and I'll listen properly this time.
Own the audience if there was one. A great many marital apologies are owed for something said in front of family, and the note that mentions it — I should not have said that with everyone in the room — is worth five that only mention the words.
Do not attach a request. An apology followed by and I need you to understand that turns it into a trade, and he will read the second clause as the actual message. Apologise fully in the card; ask for what you need on a different day, out loud.
A sealed card, opened alone, is easier to accept than an apology across the dinner table.
