by the way, I hate hearing, "I'm sorry you feel that way." It seems like a complete rejection of my feelings and not an apology at all.

Maybe "It sounds like not making it to the Star Wars movie really upset you. It upset me too. I wish I hadn't been sick and I could have followed through with my suggestion to go. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
