for myself, sincerity goes a long way. if i love someone i will tend to forgive them rather quickly but it can take me a little while to fully get back to normal if the issue hurt quite badly. so be prepared if a little time is needed to truly bounce back. if it is just run of the mill sort of stuff, i recover pretty fast once i get an apology because i'll give the person the benefit of the doubt. life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

gifts, cards, material objects don't do it for me at all. in fact, i would consider those things insulting because it implies that i can be bought. it also implies that the person doesn't know me all that well. be sincere,truly repent and it will be all good.

blackphase, i can't speak to your boyfriend. i don't think i often over react. people might think so but that is only because they can't appreciate how badly i feel aggrieved. these times are so rare for me though. on the whole, i tend to sweep the large majority of things under the carpet and hide my feelings.

I saw this before but wasn't sure how to answer. It really depends what you're apologizing for...

Like Jeanne said, I don't sweat the small stuff (it's all small stuff 😉). Root was just writing that your libra backed off a little, the next day you want to apologize. Did you do something wrong or is this a "ppreventative" apology?

Blackphase, don't let him be a drama queen. If he's over reacting a lot, it probably means he isn't secure/comfortable in the relationship. Talk to him about why he is so frequently hurt or upset. Tell him how his outbursts and validation seeking makes you feel.

In general, this is just another communication topic. As with all communication, I prefer straight forward, honest, from the heart. One big thing with apologies, for me, is the follow through and corrective action. If there's a conversation, an apology, forgiving, alls good...then we're having the same conversation next week, the apology loses its value.

+1000..depending on the issue,a sincere meaningful apology is all that is needed, plus sometimes, you just have to give a Libra a few days to think things over because if they really care for you, you will know. If you try to buy me, it's a wrap because then I know that you really haven't gotten to know me.

@Blackphase, I also agree with Jeanne....your Libra dude seems like he's just taking advantage of you. Ya know....I've said this before, but it seems like Libra men are really different than Libra women. Libra women don't seem to be as emotional or needy as the Libra men..well, at least from the posts on this site.
