Whatever you did in the past is really hard to forget. Your husband did forgive you, but he could never get over the feeling of being rejected by you. So all he needs is your love and more care and attention. Although, I personally believe in actions rather than words. Just saying, "I am sorry" does not mean that the person is really sorry, and will never repeat the mistake, But still, sometimes this is just what the doctors order. You can go either ways. You can show that you are sorry with your compassionate behavior/action, or you can simply put that in words, or write down in a cute/poetic way in a greeting card. This is up to you. Anyhow, if words don't work, go for action. Slow and steady wins the race. You can slowly rid him of all the negative thoughts by your loving and caring attitude.
