It's easy for me to forgive especially when i know that the person is sincere...But the hardest part for me is to forget the things that he did to me...I can forgive him but he can never ever regain my trust anymore...

I would accept the apology. There's no point in not accepting it. Forgiving them would depend on the situation. If it were obvious they were out to hurt you when the even occured then no...I would not forgive them.

I think you should forgive and remember. That way you can possibly prevent the same thing from happening. If this person is unable to refrain from hurting you, it may require some work on your part. Like ducking when he swings or even exiting the relationship.

Normally I would say that it depends. But I would hate to be on the end where there is no forgiveness. To be forgiven you have to forgive. If you consider yourself to be a lover and not a hater, you must forgive. This is a command that was spoken, and very well could have been a #1 commandment. It could possibly be a sin, meaning it could keep you from entering the Gates of Heaven. Plus, how do you complete the work of the Lord with a Unforgiving heart?

And time heals the pains even the wounds and forgiving makes you feel better than keeping the pain inside your heart which might haunt you each time you remember it so better let it go and be happy but making sure that she/he would not repeat it again .Besides love can forgive so why can't we. (,")

I don't know if I'd "forgive" in the traditional sense, and I certainly would not FORGET, but I would move on. I would never be able to trust that person again, but I don't think I would hate them. It would all depend on what they did to me, and how it affected me. It would also depend on their reasons for doing it, and my interpretations, and/or what they really meant by their actions.

It depends on the person and the situation. Some people I can forgive after awhile. Other people have done me wrong on so many occassions and have done so many horrible things, I just don't want to hear an apology because it means nothing like all the ones before it. They're just wasting their breath, and I'm wasting my time by listening to them.

yes, i already had an experience that there is a person gives me a big pain in my life..that is the father of my daughter..he leave me when i'm still 3mos pregnant, and he do nothing just to text me that he didn't love me anymore..i think that's the most hard part of my life because i don't know how can i move on..but i already forgive him after almost 3yrs..i wanted peace of mind and be happy with my new life with my daughter..though i haven't got the chance to talk to him again, but i already forgiven him and if the time will come that we will meet again i will accept his apology..

I won't say sorry for your experience because I know children gives much more happiness than having a partner (,").
It feels good to forgive than keeping extra baggage, nice to know you forgive and I appreciate you for sharing that story.
Have a nice day, Cherriemae!

If someone apologises to me, I have no choice but to reconcile. The hurt will remain, of course, but I will try my best to forget and forgive.
