Hm, it sounds like the situation can go either way if you do so. If she's not talking to you, there's a chance she's not going to want to read anything you have to say. On the other hand, she may just be curious enough to do so. I'm thinking, however, that simply writing a letter may not be enough. I think nothing says "honey, I was wrong" better than a big romantic gesture: dinner at a nice restaurant (that she would like), a picnic, romantic getaway, or anything else she would find touching or sweet. These examples are for big mistakes. If these mistakes are smaller and more minor, then the letter may be enough (of course, there's nothing wrong with including a "small" romantic gesture in there).

well, it's better than doing nothing and besides what are the chances of her accepting an dinner invitation if she really does hate him. of course, letter can also be a solution if the mistakes are minor or not a big issue, still it would show sincerity if they choose letter first then explain

Hi Bart78. I agree with Book1962. It is sometimes difficult to explain or say you're sorry verbally and it can end up blowing up in your face if you get it wrong. Writing a letter gives you the time to reflex on what to say and how to say it so that it would be acceptable to your wife. Of course, doing a little extra, like buy her a gift or taking her out to her favourite restaurant isn't a bad idea either, but hopefully by then you are back on speaking terms. Don't hesitate to ask her close friends what they think because they may have some insight to what she needs from you to clear the air. A note of advice, beware of what you put on paper, because if it is the wrong thing you may end up making it worse. So when you write and have a lot of discarded papers laying about, burn them.

I guess it varies from people to people but i believe good communication establish from talking.

hi bart78 I think thats sort of sweet, and I know if I were 'your wife Iwould be touched because you showed her that you were sorry and wanted to make up. she will come around I bet you as its a sort of romantic gesture. Maybe a handful of flowers with the letter might get her into talking again' he he.

Yes Bart78, if your partner doesn't want to talk to you or anybody else and you are really sorry for what you did... it is always nice to write them a letter. Some just having a hard time showing their soft side and pretended that they are really mad by not talking to the person... you just have to put some effort on telling them how sorry you are... Writing a leeter is an effective tool in expressing your thoughts and real emotions... Keep on writing bart! Whether it is a sorry letter or a love letter perhaps!!!

Hi Bart, I know it's been a while since you asked your question, but I thought it was interesting. If I were her, I know I'd probably think it wonderful that you wrote a letter to me. It shows that you truly do care, and are (hopefully) willing to work at not making the mistakes again. At the least, it would show you put some thought into how to talk to her. P.S. Write on paper with your own handwriting, I personally wouldn't want something written say on a word document or other and printed out or even emailed.

hello there Bart, There's nothing wrong if you're gonna try to explain it to her, if she doesn't want to talk to you then you just do what you have stated in your discussion. Provided that you should xerox copy it in case she would just tear the paper down.i am sure she would cool down and will try to talk to you as well, just be sincere if you apologize.

when your wife was angry and did not want to talk to you, perhaps the best way is to write a letter for him ... a little bit distorted, I was reminded of my childhood often demand money my father. If money demand verbally is rejected, I usually made a letter request of money. In the letter, I say, "please give me money, dad. I'll replace it later" and I put the letter in my father's pants pocket .... a result, my father to grant the request. lol ...
