That is because it requires you to empathize with the other person. Acknowledging that you may have done something that impacted somebody else in a negative way implies a negative intent and challenges our sense that we are well-meaning rational beings.
Describing how the act affected the other person negatively generates trust and credibility. It makes it clear that you are looking at the situation from the perspective of the other person. Offering restitution indicates your willingness to repair the relationship.

These are entirely normal reactions. After all, no reasonable person would act the way your partner did in this situation.

Without negative emotions, you would not be able to maintain a destructive argument. The reason that emotions so powerfully drive us to disagree has to do with our sense of who we are. Invariably, if challenged by behavior we perceive as a threat to our sense of self we feel the need to respond either by withdrawing if it is unsafe to disagree or by preparing to engage in an argument.
