It doesn't always get the problem solved but at least we tried. I don't hold a grudge on these little things for more than a minute because they aren't worth it. Sometimes, perhaps in my own ignorance, I do not understand why she would either. You know how it is, "well if I can let it go, why can't you?" Which is why I insist on discussing the subject. I want to know why.....
The same shoe doesn't fit us all, and if you're SURE she's satisfied with this arrangement, then great....

...but how to be sure?

You seem like an objective fellow to me. I'd be very curious to know what she'd say if you asked something like: "Hey, instead of discussing the situation, how about if I say I'm sorry, and we leave it at that? I'll not hold a grudge. I'm sincere about this offer."

If she says "NO, absolutely not. I'd rather discuss it than for you to say 'I'm sorry,'" then you'll be covered the rest of your life against the torture of never being sure!
