I wish that I could point you in a direction, but I'm afraid that I cannot.My belief is that it is never too late so long as it is genuine and you feel it in your heart to do so - not merely a formality (unless it just helps to smooth things in a work situation for example).
But everyone is different and every situation is different.
I like apologies for the most part.
One time I wrote out a lengthy one, well thought out, and two others who saw it thought it was extremely kind and sincere. It was left for dead.
Other people I apologize even a few days later and they don't like that I've "brought it up again".
One Sag at work. We didn't talk to each other for at least 6 months and didn't actually apologize to each other until weeks AFTER the friendship was restarted.
So it's really kind of hit or miss.
My thinking is that it may not be necessary, but I won't get grumpy to someone who wants to apologize. Intent means a LOT to me. I never think it's too late and if I sense that it is sincere, usually accepted.
