I grew up in a house where apologies were always followed by explanations, and I didn't understand until my thirties that an explanation after an apology isn't accountability. It's a refund request. - Silicon Canals

I Tried to Make a Joke About a Change in Our Sex Life. Now My Wife Is Staging a Strike.

How often do you make jokes that offend your wife? If this happens a lot, I'd apologize for the whole pattern and let her know in very direct language that you want to work on it. If this is a one-time issue, consider whether you've clearly apologized. Ideally, an apology contains a direct acknowledgement of what you did, an accurate description of how that hurt the other person, and some fairly feasible statement of what you're doing to prevent recurrence of the same issue.
