Definitely right for me.... again and again my trust and instinct didn't do good to me again... i work and work and work all the time leaving all the financial matters of account abilities to a friend, trusting that she was an honest, religious, kind and good person, that money can't temp her since that's not our money, it was just trusted to us and i trusted to her... not knowing that for years of our friendship she was manipulating the finances and ledgers assigned to her.... it was too late when i discovered..still she was a friend i give her time to cover up her liabilities, i forgive her being a friend and give her time to clean up her misses....forgiving is easy but trusting her again is so hard ...i pray i have a big heart in order to forget what she has done....God help me..

Oh no, sorry to hear that your very own friend is the one that betrayed your trust like that. I can imagine how hurt you must have been because you also got bad rep from those people who entrusted the money although your only mistake is trusting a long time friend. It is sad that money can do that to people, for the love of money friends and family are betrayed. I would have felt the same towards a friend, I can eventually forgive her for what she did. But it will be very difficult for me to trust her again, or to even gain my trust back. I might be able to give her another chance, but that will definitely not be happening anytime soon. I hope you guys have managed to fix the problem.

yes Raine, I'm deeply hurt although it's not my money I felt betrayed by trusting her and she takes oopportunity since I didnt check all the accounts believing that she is an honest religious person. I give all the responsibility to her. Well just try to be positvie to her that she will change and she promised me that she will do good now. I hope and pray :)

You're right with that sunshinefame. In reality, there are people that you will be able to know the real them especially when it comes to financial matters, but not all because there are really trustworthy too. And there's once a saying stating that trust needs time to build, but it will just take seconds to break. lol! But as what we know, forgive and forget, though it will take time, and also, trusting again will definitely time will come and by then you can say that you're ready to give it again. God is always with us. =)

hi markIT it will really take time to trust her again, there's a mess to patch up, and she should clean this up. an incentive was given to them monthly for the performance done but this time i stop it, a lesson should be learned by her. thanks for the comment.

In every situation, when your trust is betrayed by a friend or by av family or loved one, we know that it is hard to trust them again because the v fear is always there that they might do it again or that we just might be fooled by the very person we trusted. I agree that yes we would be able to forgive them because after all they have been our friends too. Often we will be careful when we are dealing with them because we know b already what they are capable of doing. Besides forgiving them is also to free ourselves of the Bondage of hatred and to anger. Whenever you feel resentment towards this b person or to what was done, as you were doing now keep your hands in prayer. Your feelings will be refreshed and your mind renewed. Overtime I am sure you will get over it soon as well. :)

hi sunshine, yes that is true. when you are always with those negative feelings you only hinder youself to move on. even the person who hurt you might have moved on already but you will remain as it is if you do not let go. Prayers will be your guide, and prayers will be by your side. You know you will do well eventually when you no longer feel as much anger for the person anymore. It is sometimes still going to happen, some pain and hurts will be triggered, but that would never be too dangerous for you when you have those and you can use these to do better things, and improve on yourselves and prove all those that turned you down that they were wrong about you. =) May God be with you. Always be blessed, have a good day sunshine.

THANKS CHIYOSAN... you got the points, forgiving them to free ourselves with the bondage of hatred and anger..keeping that two all the time will give us sickness, so by forgiving we released all the negative aura in our body.. and prayer will help us eased the pain, by giving everything to God. thanks for sharing.

Once being hurt, never wanted to be hurt in the same way. It is nature, it is the way for all creatures protect their lives in the world. Human is different from animals, but we are still a kind of animal, we can forgive the one who has hurt us, but we can not forget the hurt and trust the one again for the ability of our nature.

imsippy forgive and forget your exgf, she was past but if you still love her then forget her mistakes, easy to say but hard to do? I think so, but in spite of everything you still love her, give her a chance but don't give 100% of your love to her because its hard to be hurt again. learn to love yourself also give yourself a break have a new friends and don't focus to her only. remember that an individual had his own identity, have your identity, an asset that fascinates her. have your time and her time... I say this because my bf before did that to me, he had another gf, i forgive him but i don't trust him anymore, so what I did. i go out in the box, i don't focus to him, i create a new world, so when times come that we are not really meant for each other, we ended as friends again. :) and my husband did that also to me, i let him go, let him go free and in the end he grab me to marry him . maybe he realized how lucky he is having me in his life lol... Good luck my friend.

Yes it is hard to forgive but you know, If it all depends on what kind of problem it is. If it is not so complicated, you can forgive but if you are feeling that it is too soon wait a couple of weeks util you are ready to do it. It is good to prevent problems if someone has deceited us and not to trust them

Hi Sunshine I´m so happy to read you, because 20 mins ago I came from writting a note to my father. My father bretayed us, I forgave him, but I cannot trust him anymore, my heart is broken. He just opened a big path between us, and I really cann´t trust him anymore. I try but I cann´t. He cheated my mother, my mother got sick almost to die, my father ruined their business, he broke it, and he lost their house, he just ran away and he didn´t care for us. I cried for years and suffered so much, and now he is coming back as he has done nothing wrong. I just forgave him, I accept a phone call once each 6 months or when he wants just to phone, but I cann´t trust him anymore. When we betray somebody, we should emmend to win her/his heart again. But if the other person is so soberb or lack of love and care, and blessings, and He/she doesn´t emmend with love and concrete actions, confidence wont build again a soft path. I think it´s very normal, if I put my finger in the fire and got burnt I wont put it twice. That´s the way a baby learns fire is dangerous. Good luck friend, may Lord give you the peace and love, and hope that you need. Blessings Sunshine... dainy

Hello dainy oh so sorry it coincide with your father, i know what you felt since I remember when I'm young my grandfather arrive at our house because he was sick and my mom his daughter take care of him. My grandparents were separated a long time ago and I was 9 years old when I see him. When my grandfather was already in good health he left again and see him again when I'm already 26years old in a coffin already. He returned to his real family. Maybe my grandparents both have mis understandings I don't know the story what I know is my grandfather stayed a long time to his mistress and my grandmother take care of his 5 siblings. Maybe my grandmother forgive him but he never forgets what happened in their life. I forgive my grandfather for abandoning his family, abandoning my mother but I don't trust/doubt if he really love his family. Will as for you you can still give chance to your father maybe ask whats the reason behind. It hurts to see your mother crying but if your mother needed him if it gives him strength then just give them space to be together. It's hard I know, but try also to be considerate.. ouchhh! it hurts me too.. but we must erase all the heart aches so that positive aura will be with us. Hatred and pain is not good for our health so Lord help us to forgive totally and be with peace of heart. Good luck also my friend... there's a sun shining still ahead to us.

Reputation and trust like glass is something that is easily broken, and will not be glued back without leaving visible scars. Everyone have mistakes, you should be mature enough to forgive them, but you can choose tuk no longer trust him.
