Is it that hard to say "I'm Sorry"?

I hate it when my husband knew he hurt my feelings but his pride kept him from apologizing. After a few hours, when I seem to have cooled down, he will act as if it didn't happen and will try to make me laugh. It's irritating. Why can't he just say sorry?

it may be that he does not know how to say sorry. Unless you confront him with your concerns, you'll just have to accept that his trying to make you laugh is his way of telling you that he knows he wronged you and is sorry... 
...and yes, the trying to make you laugh is a form of saying sorry

If you are truly apologetic then saying i'm sorry should not be that hard. when you feel obligated to say the words but the feeling isnt there, it can be more difficult to handle. Saying i'm sorry has to come from the heart or it has no meaning.

Some people just really do not like admitting that they were wrong. That is what saying sorry means a lot of the time. I for one have no problem admitting that I was mistaken and things got a bit too heated. Others, they have it hard wired into their brain that obviously something just went wrong, but they are willing to be the better person and "forgive" the other person.
Some people are just rather stubborn in that way. They will never say sorry. Because to say sorry is an admission of being wrong. I'm not really condoning it in any ways. Its just the way that people are are. Being stubborn is something that can be a downfall to many people. Pride is a very strong thing. Then they act like nothing is wrong. I think many have been in that boat one time or another.

Maybe it's because he is guilty or he loves to see you hurt, I'm sorry but this also happens to me, I caught my BF cheating on me once, then he tried to explain but I cant take the heartaches, so I walked out, then on the following day he wasn't calling me or even sending some message, so I decided to make the first move. And so i did call him and ask why things happen to be so worst and why cant he even say sorry, he doesn't answer my question, but then later on he confess everything and admit that he feels sorry but hesitant to say it's because he is guilty...And so, maybe your husband feels the same way as my boyfriend does...maybe He is just guilty and he need space to realize everything.
