When it comes to loved ones - the bar is lifted higher. Our expectations but also our willingness to resolve issues should be at the same level. These are the most important people in our lives - therefore we need to accept being uncomfortable to come to a resolution. Apologies lead to understanding. Both parties then realise the value of their relationship. The outcome is a relief and then like you said - you will be happy that you made that move - you will be happy that you apologised.
