Can you forgive a person who did wrong to you and at the same time, swear not to forget what he/she did to you.

I do forgive but I don't forget,They are lost of people who hurts me but I forgive them but I will never forget what they did, it does not hurt nay becuase I forgive them so forgiving it's the other way of finding peace

Ya I know sometimes it is difficult to forget about what that person has done to you and it is even more difficult if that person is related to you in personal level.I understand,we are just humans and it is normal to feel that way.But, if we can forgive and forget, it makes things easier to carry on.Good day!

I think it depends on who is the person who do the bad things with you and sometimes it also depends on who is the person who did it wrong for you and it is very hard to forgive and forget the person who do bad things for you especially when it consist of your future dreams and if it is part of your family member as well like the same way I experience with my own Father when he left us with another woman of his life and he never even give a support for me and to my 2 brother as well but we need to moved so I find work of mine and tackle all the struggle of life with my future and to my brothers as well so time passed so quickly and it is 20 years already since that happened and I really forgive him but not totally forget what he did for us......

I don,t know this is a good habit or bad but i easily forgive others and forget their wrongs whether to me or someone to else but i have noticed that others don't forgive easily even if they pretend you that they forgive you but something is inside them.

I tend to forgive people who are most likely to forgive others for their mistakes. It sometimes depends who it is, and what the situation is.

I think it depends on that the event was. People make mistakes, we are all human. So I think everyone deserves at least 2-3 chances. But if someone trully screws you over then maybe it is best just to walk away...why would you want someone who hurt you in your life? someone who is not going to look out for your best interest? If however, it was an honest mistake and the person had the guts to come up to you and tell you then I say...forgive and forget!

I forgive a lot more easily these days after losing a good friend not long after having a disagreement luckily she cane to me about a month before to patch things up, we were back as best friends when she passed away suddenly, I learnt a lesson from that.

I'm not a real forgiving person, but at the same time it depends on what they did. One thing I can't forgive is lying. I can't stand liars. Stealing from me is also a for sure thing I dont forgive. Petty little things I can forgive but never forget!
