just let time pass and hope that time will heal the wound and just hope after some time or years that every thing will get fixed by itself.
For me i do reconcile when i think that i can forgive the person no matter who started the problem but if i think that i get so affected that i can't face the person yet. and i will just hope after some time me and other person will just forget what happened and that we will just be civil and get to greet each other when i get to meet the person. and just resume with our own lives. or ever just be like what we used to be before the fight or misunderstanding.
i thought about this cause i saw or observed many celebrities locally here who would have problems and will just with some people so badly that they will just leave showbizness and after some years and will be back and every thing will just be normal again and be at peace with whom they ever had problem with. they didn't had formal reconciliation but it seems after years that they just forget those things they had before.

no wouldn't go out of my way to reconcile with someone i think if reconciliation will be required to get someone to be with you i think that's not good. he/she should understand you and if they love you then they will not let you change yourself and will be with you as you are.

yes sometimes or most of the times if we love someone we don't have to wait for them to beg for forgiveness before we forgive any one.

I will do my best to make things right or explain things the way I saw it in hopes the other will take it all in with an opened mind but if not then I'll back away to let things cool down and hope things will fall into place to where we can talk things out and mend our friendship but if not then it's best to let it go. It might hurt a little or a lot but it's best to let it go instead of rehashing it over and over again for it's like getting smacked over and over again which isn't doing anything good.

yes it is important we try first all we can do to mend the relationship and hope somethin's good come out of our effort but if seems they aer still unwilling despite our effort to get our relationship smooth again, then they leave us with no choice not unless you have the patience to keep trying which i don't have actually. i easily give if people will not give me chance on my first try. some people though have more patience and will keep trying and it works out for them mostly. and so i think it is really worth the try. and most probably it will come out good as we are expecting it.

Hi hotsummer, It's never easy to forgive but it is very necessary. Carrying a grudge for a long time can do us a lot of harm both physically and mentally. It is very true that time is the great healer and it does work this way too. I believe that people who learn to get along again after the passage of time have really forgiven each other, although they won't always readily admit it. Blessings.

yes it is hard to admit that we want to forgive a person cause of pride and we don't want to express it verbally. and we can show it in action but we sometimes wait for perfect timing and right situation for us to show it.

If it is my husband I usually try and reconcile right away even if we have to have a good fight. I don't like to let things fester between us. Other than that in my adult life I have only had one bad encounter with someone I cared about and that was my mother in law. It was kind of her way though she was always fighting with someone at one time or another and I had my turn at it once. Actually it was not really a fight, she was babysitting my daughter and she was in a bad mood that day when I went to pick her up and she snapped at me. Out of respect I did not say anything to her about it, but my husband was very upset that she did that and for the reason she did it. I kind of just stayed away from her for a couple of months. But being related it was in-evidable that we would see each other again, and when we did we were pleasant to one another and we built our relationship back up after that. I had always been really close to my mother in law until that happened and she really hurt my feelings. She did apologize after snapping at me that day but it was followed up with a but and I thought it in-sincere. Other than that I have never really fought with anyone other than my husband as an adult. A couple times in Junior high but that was Junior high crap.

that is true. it is important that we have good relationship with our relatives and loved ones. it is like that we have no choice but to be at peace with them. and also them the have no choice if we want to live normally again. cause it is hard to get on with life if we have some conflicts with any one we often see and be with everyday.
