in his own house! I should have apologized then but didn't. Things are back to the way they were...we're friends and all. But I feel so bad. Should I bring it up or let it go?

I'm the same way. Your conscience is telling you that you should apologize. Sometimes other people don't see it as being as bad as you think it is. As long as you're friends now and he has no ill will, I wouldn't bother. If it continues to eat at you, just casually bring it up and apologize. I'm sure he'll tell you that it was no big deal.

If your conscience is still bothering you I would definitely bring it up and apologize. I think this shows you care about this person and you have character enough to care about the way you act.
Every self-help program such as "12 Steps" includes asking forgiveness from those one has offended if it does not cause the other problems or hurt them for a reason. It gives you a clean slate and clear conscience to begin afresh.

Ask hime how he feels about the situation and if he is hurt, the offer an apology..... Sometimes we snap not because of what a person says or does but because of external pressures and problems....
In any case I am sure he will appreciate the apology....

If you are still feeling bad about it, then there's no reason at all you should not apologize. It's not like you'd be re-fueling the issue all over again. Let him know it's been on your mind and even though it occured months ago, you'd like him to know you are sorry and feel like your behavior was inappropriate.
Whether he says it or not, he's likely to think it's pretty kewl of you to care, and big of you to say you are sorry and acknowledge that what you did wasn't kewl.

I think you should apologize. No matter how long ago something happened, it can always make the other person feel better to know that you regret your action.
He'll either thank you for it, or he'll tell you to forget about it since he has. Either way, you are showing him how much you care, and that you value his friendship enough to feel guilty over harsh words said to him.

The person has forgiven you but you need to ask for it too. You will have a peace of mind and believe it or not, he will be lighter too. I have forgiven people close to me but I found that the ones who made the effort to appologize even though I'd forgiven them made me feel much more open to them again than the ones who STILL haven't. And I know they are miserable as hell. Forgiving and asking it brings peace and freedom. BE bold and ask for it, I guarantee you he will be even nicer to you for your effoert.

If you don't think it will start an arguement I think it would be nice thing to apolgize even if it was a long time ago. It means a lot to the other person and may bring you even closer.

I would say that I was sorry and really mean it. Explain that you have been bothered by it and that you are very sorry. If they say it is okay; all the better but make the effort. It really is the sign of maturity. Good luck xx
