I just came from a birthday party, the father of my fiance. I was overwhelmed of their warm welcome the moment I arrived and her mother (my fiance's mother) introduced me to their visitors as the future daughter in law. I was flattered of course! I did not expected that we could get along well. Before, my fiance's family were against me because I did terrible thing to them which caused hatred and a bit chaos. It was after a year before they accepted me again as the girlfriend of their son. Since It was my fault, I made a move to convince them and prove to them that I am good enough, I asked forgiveness then my effort had worked out and now we are good as family.

Glad that you are having a great relationship with your future in laws as well as the family of your father's second wife. Nothing really as great as to having good relationship with people who are going to be part of our lives.

hi,
for me forgive and forget will depend on how deep the hurt that made by someone,if that is only mild mistake then i can easily forget and forgive it,but when it is deep in my heart then i think that is really hard to heal so its not easy to forget and forgive.

That's good to hear. I'm glad they forgave you and they gave you another chance. Don't make the same mistake again. You have to be careful in dealing with them. Goodluck to you and I hope you'll get along well with them more.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. That is really sweet of your fiance's family that they forgot everything that has happened in the past and accepted u and your family with open hands.
I think we all do mistakes and hence it is the responsibility of our near and dear ones to forgive us and give us a second chance to prove ourselves right. I think since everything has been resolved, u should feel happy and never do the same mistake that u have done before in the future.
What say?

That was wonderful. It sounds like you have future in-laws with a warm and embracing heart. Parents are quite capable to forgive. I am a mother and I know that it doesn't take much to forgive my children. They want to maintain a good relationship with their son and so, they must have realize that the best way to do so, is to love and embrace who he loves.
Not too many young people are willing to admit that it was their fault, let alone, ask for forgiveness. You really must have melted their hearts as they realized that you are a mature, responsible and caring person.
Put the past in the past, and move forward into your new life with your soon to be husband and his family. I wish you all the best in your future.
