How do I bring myself apologize when I feel I've done nothing wrong? I've done it many times with this person just to keep the peace, but we'll keep having these conflicts forever because he never learns/understands.
Explain the situation

>how do i bring myself to apologize even if i dont think i did anything wrong
consider lying
You don't. Only apologize for something if you're sorry about it. You need to communicate properly and tell someone when you don't agree with them, regardless of how you think they'll react.
>How do I bring myself apologize when I feel I've done nothing wrong?
I don't know about you, but i don't.

>father thinks I should do X
>disagree and say Y
>he doesn't listen at all and thinks my disagreeing is arrogant
>we get into a fight over this
>I force myself to apologise to keep the peace
>his life is already stressful, with a banshee wife who hates his happiness
This time, I just don't want to apologise again. I refuse to do it for the dozenth time while he keeps thinking he's right and I'm just arrogant

Sound like you need to stop being dependent on you family.
Print these out and tell him you'll listen to him if he reads them all and can answer a few basic questions:

Is it worth damaging your relationship with your father over a hollow apology? You know you're right, any logical person probably knows you are right, so why not just let it go? Do you still live with them? I find it easier to tolerate my parents bullshit since I have my own place, own life, own relationships

I am currently saving up to move out, but won't be able to until the end of this year

You're right. I'm just as stubborn as my father is.

Then suck it up for one more year.
