are you the type who just easily forgets whatever bad your partner has done to you after the issue has died done? or do u keep caution and become extra careful this time? is it really possible to forgive and forget?

Sometimes there are some sins that can easily to forgive but maybe it may not be easily to forget coz it's a scratch on your mind and mark for his personality. And it depends on a situation the best is to listen and analyze what the problem he/she commited to you, and if you feel you can't forget, it's natural coz we are the one that feel ache not them.

there are issues where forgive and forget is applicable. but past mistakes always serves as a warning for each others action. i am the type of person who forgives and reminds.hahaha funny though. girls usually do that. bragging about being good and only to be treated badly.but i guess that's just the way of realising ones (girls) hard feelings towards a thing.

Depends on what my hubby did wrong. I can forgive but it takes me a while to forget. I'm an emotional person and things take a while for me to get over, but in time I have to or else it just keeps eating away at me. I'm learning to though :)

I think that I could forgive my partner for just about anything within reason. But I know that I wouldn't be able to forget. If he was to do something that I would need to forgive him for I would be more cautious of it happen again. I think that once the trust has been broken it would be hard not to have doubts.

it depends on how big the sin is. i can easily forgive but i cannot esily forget if the pain is too deep, coz it's really hard to trust that person once again. to forgive a person whom we loved dearly is more difficult than to forgive an enemy, coz we had given our trust and love to them that we least expected that person to hurt us. for me, i'd rather not give another chance to my partner if i'd known to myself that it would be hard to forget it, coz id always wonder, "what if he'd do it again?" u'll become suspicious and eventually your relationship will fall apart.

My Sweetheart knows that I don't forget anything. I forgive, but I never forget. That's not to say that I hold grudges...I really don't. All it means is that I never forget a lesson learned from a past experience. I remember things, and I remember what I learned from them, and because he knows I remember things, he helps to make sure they never happen again. His memory is not like mine, but I treat him as if it is. That is to say, if I make a mistake, I GO OUT OF MY WAY not to repeat it, because eve if he forgets I did something wrong, I don't want to muck up and make the same mistake again, so I go out of my way to remember what I learned from the mistake, and NEVER EVER repeat it again.
