How to repair after a fight without pretending nothing happened

The short version
How to Repair After a Fight
The argument ended an hour ago. You are still hurt, and now neither of you knows how to speak without restarting it. If you want to know how to repair after a fight, begin with one part you can own and one impact you can hear. Keep the original issue on the table. Reconnecting does not require pretending that the problem disappeared.
