what's your go-to way or method of saying sorry?
(Just to clarify I've been a bit more "tedious" than usualI'm still allowed in the house)
I let her out of the cupboard for a few minutes.

This reminds me of a very helpful piece of advice I was given just after I got married.
The gentleman said " Before opening you mouth at the start of an argument/disagreement, stop and think to ask yourself these 2 questions. Do you want to want to be right? Or, Do you want to be happy?"
That advice has been very useful over the years.

More seriously definitely do not buy her flowers, chocolate or take her out. Rewarding her for getting the hump is like giving a dog a treat for doing a turd on the floor.
Once you make that mistake you will be forced to repeat and regret it for the rest of your life.

This. One hundred times this.
As long as it doesn't have a detrimental impact on your life, saying sorry is easy. If you've "been a bit of a knob". Just admit it and say sorry. TBH even if you haven't, what do you gain by being right?
"winning" in these circumstances is being happy not being smug.
It's a bit like internet arguments.

For some reason I picture Mrs HT as a saintly figure with endless patience and compassion ...
As someone who has had the great honour of knowing Frau Tubthumper I can confirm that these are just two of her many, many fine qualities.
If HT is in trouble then there are not enough Gods around to help him. It was nice knowing you mate...

If i've done or said something worthy of an apology then I simply apologise. If she doesn't accept it or carries it on or refuses to let the issue go I just ignore her and relish the silence whilst she winds herself up. Life's too short to let someone else stress you out so keep it simple and they soon get over it.

If you sleep in ibiza, you're not doing it right!
Mate, I'm 52. Sleeping and pissing aren't a matter of choice.
If its your fault, pull your pants up and behave.
If its her, think about whether its worth it.
Mrs Tackle is saintly, and we don't do 'falling out'. Also, I have had lots of practice (twice divorced, and several other failed relationships), and have learned to not chase lost causes, or piss in my own tent. Eventually.
