Your Type
Before apologizing, you need to understand the full picture of the conflict and only say sorry if you're sure you're wrong, never offering a fake apology just to make them feel better. This "absolute insistence on logic and right/wrong" actually masks your strong anxiety about "being misunderstood and losing self-esteem"; you fear that if you blindly admit fault, you'll appear as a weak person with no principles, so you use "rational analysis and dialectics" to defend your wounded pride. But in love, feelings are sometimes more important than right and wrong. Try putting aside the obsession with finding the truth in your next argument and say, "I'm so sorry to see you this upset"; when you learn to let empathy run ahead of logic, you can truly enter the other person's heart.
