I'm a little bit of both. I mean, I think you have to temporarily forget so that you can forgive and get on with your life. Also, I'm definitely a believer in second chances and I understand that mistakes happen so it's just much more pleasant to forgive AND forget.

Yes, you got it right.
In fact, more than once they hurt me.
I really had enough.
But i do nothing about that, i just kept quiet and left.
Not worth a fight tho.
So yeah, My friends and especially my boyfriend ask me not being too nice to people, but this is me.
Huhu, i don't know:)
But if they over my limit, I'll definitely will fight back:)

I definitely know what you mean about being too nice! My dad has been telling me that that's my biggest flaw since I was like 8 years old. I think if you've been hurt by one person more than once, though, then you have every right to not forget! Like I said, I'm all for second chances--but the third time is rarely a charm in these sorts of situations :-/

I don't forgive people easily, I just need some space before forgiving them. When you were hurt or betrayed by someone else it's not easy to forgive. I do forgive people but it takes time.
I can't forget such things that happened. Though I realized things happens for such a purpose, we were learned from it.

I am a person who will prefer forgive and forget.If i know that the person who really deserve for forgiveness and want my forgiveness with sincerity.I can easily forget bad things she/he did to me,and also when I know that the person really saying the truth deep in his/her heart i can easily forgive and forget. But when I know that, that person is not really sincere and showing plastic. I will just forgive but I cannot forget it easily.It takes a year before I forget it.

Er``I think I am a bit like you.I always forgive others if they say sorry to me.But I can not forget what happened easily.Maybe it is because I have a good memory.But it doesn't matter.As things have past,I will just leave the memories as a fortune.

I guess I'm the one who would take some time to forgive (depends upon the mistake;)) and would never forget. I take things very seriously if it affects my life in anyways. I try to forget things but it just won't happen I don't know why!I still remember my friends and all their mistakes made in childhood..lol

Haha, we have common! Maybe because we have good memory:P
But sometimes, am feeling like i have short-memory instead of good-memory.
But in a certain time, for a certain things that is actually very important, i could still remember even though it's an old story. Huhu^^

Hello ieeko89. If the person admits he or she realizes his or her mistakes then that is the time I will forgive that person but, I wont easily forget what he or she has done. Like you, my first bf did some mistakes in the past. I did forgave him but, I didnt forget the things he has done to me.

I might forgive if I know someone's sorry by them apologizing, but I sure as hell won't forget! If they don't apologize, I won't do either. Oh, and they might say they're sorry, but then they'll keep on f**king you over time and time again, so why do they deserve either one?

Forgive or Forget? Which one? hehe! It's too difficult to choose. But in my opinion, Forgive it first, forget it then.Everyone is continuing changing all his life,during which he would make many mistakes,including myself. So to me, I wish others could forgive me and forget it when I make some mistakes. However, I think everyone should stand opponent's place to think about problems. So, we could know how to deal with the problems we face and how to choose :Forgive or Forget!

I'm the same type as you ieeko89. I can and I want to forgive everyone I have to, but I can't forget. I think that this is reasonable. You have your inner peace and still you know who is capable to what. Who you can really trust.

I'd rather to forgive and to forget than to hold the grudge. That way I can move on with my life and once it passed then I would not matter about it anymore but to keep note that I have to become a better person in future by learning mistakes in the past.

well truely speaking i am a kind of forgive and forget person but you know things are not the same every time.there will a kind of situations in your life which you can not forget in your life nor can you forgive the person who made you to suffer. i think every person faces such a situation in his life atleast once.

I forgive people even if they drive me insane.I forgive anyone actually, it's in my nature.
