There are times when my husband and I would have these petty arguments or when I just feel that my husband is mad at me. And then when I ask him, he just says I should ask myself or he wouldn't say anything. I don't want a fight so I just tell him I'm sorry even if I don't know what I've done. Is it fine to do this?

It is fine to lose a fight sometimes, especially if what you'll get is peace of mind and harmony between you and your husband.

argentite,

While apologizing may help solve the problem in the short-term, it does nothing to improve your situation long-term. I would spend some more time actually discovering how your fight started and try to resolve the problem fully. Otherwise it will just keep happening over and over,

Cochise is right!
By saying sorry, if your husband feels happy..do it.After he had calmed down, ask him for the reason. That way you could talk it over. Tell him what you think was right and justify your arguement afterwards.
But does he apologise when he says something wrong or spoils your mood?

Say sorry to calm down the situation. Then when everything is back to normal or when your husband is in an engaging mood, try asking him what happened. Maybe it was just a miscommunication or he was just moody. This way you can both air your sides and understand each other better.

Saying sorry should just be a temporary solution. Ask your husband why he was angry when things cool down. It will help you resolve bigger issues and not repeat the same mistakes again.

WHY ARE U SAYING SORRY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU DOTN KNWO WHAT YOU DID!!! He is using you and abusing you emotionally hun wake up I haev been there done that. Dont apologize for nothing and tell him I wont apologize for soemthing that I dont know what I did wrong. Tell him get off his ego and his hi-horse becuase its not working and Im not going to say sorry! Dotn fall for that trap it only makes oyu look and feel guilty. It seems he has some ego problems and controlling is what he is doing to you.

I believe you can say sorry. But discuss the problem later on. This time if he's wrong, point it out to him but don't be so accusing. Tell him you're just telling him his mistake so you won't argue about it next time.
