For want of a word

I am PMSing so intensely right now.
And I recognise that I am a grouse to live with.
But you know what? I feel that if the boy & I get into a fight and it was the boy's fault, he needs to say 'SORRY'
He needs to say it and then make behavioral amends, if it was one of those fights.
The boy, on the other hand, tends to sleep on it, and then make all these changes (which is truly great) but in one of those 'we are good and nothing untoward has happened'. It's like he pretends as if we didn't even have a fight.
Like he puts out the effort and really tries hard to work on his problem areas but never once says the word 'SORRY'.
He doesn't say it and it annoys me to no end.
He's all sweet and loving and changed but there are no sorries.
I have noticed it about every male in my family - my dad, my brother and the boy.
I wish they would say sorry and then

YESHK.
writing this out makes me feel so silly.
I feel as if I did make a bad mountain out of a molehill.
yeashk,

Well with my half, the problem is he says SORRY and that's that. It's over. I'm supposed to forget it and pretend like nothing ever happened. We're not supposed to dwell on it and discuss it. No hugs , no kisses. Sorry and that's that.
I think i'm PMSing..
