How to actually apologize over text

Try this

I've been sitting with how I acted the other night and I don't feel good about it. I got defensive when you were just being honest with me, and that wasn't fair. I'm sorry — and I mean it, not just to end the conversation.

The key: Name the specific thing you did. A vague "sorry if you were upset" isn't an apology, it's a dodge.
