How Does a Sagittarius Man Apologize?

Sometimes, a Sagittarius man will act as if nothing happened after an argument. He’ll just move on. He won’t bring it up again if you don’t. He’ll hope you won’t ask for an apology.

When he does apologize, it’s usually short. It’s also likely to be unemotional, and he may even joke around or make light of the situation. He may also refuse to take the blame for what happened.

His apologies are more likely to be non-verbal. He’ll give you gifts. He’ll help out around the house more or run errands for you.

Acts Like Nothing Happened

After you argue with a Sagittarius man, he might take some time to himself to calm down. After he’s done that, he’s not always going to come back and talk over what happened.

He’s likely to just pretend like nothing happened. Even if he said something deeply hurtful and you’re upset, he may just act like he never did that.

If he’s over something, a Sagittarius man usually expects that everyone else involved will also be over it. Even if he isn’t the one who was hurt, he’ll just expect you to move on because he already has.

Sagittarius men don’t like to dwell on things. This is because he doesn’t always understand that just because he has moved past something, that doesn’t mean you have as well.

He may also be embarrassed by something he said or did. In that case, he’ll want to pretend it never happened.

Owning up to his mistake and apologizing would mean acknowledging what he did and dealing with the embarrassment.

Might Joke Around

Instead of apologizing, a Sagittarius man might joke around to try and cheer you up after he’s upset you.

Gifts

Gifts are very common as part of a Sagittarius man’s apology. Whether or not he says he’s sorry, he’s likely to give you things to try and soothe any hurt feelings.

A Sagittarius man is the type of person to show up with flowers and chocolate after a huge argument.
