Can You FORGIVE and FORGET????????????

I did a discussion on this too. I am NOT good at forgiving or forgetting. I carry a grudge forever. But I am working on it. It truly is wasted time and energy. Life does go n and it appears that the guilty NEVER suffer.

Yes I would forgive and forget my friends but would not be able to forgive my spouse. Would he have forgiven me if I had cheated on him?

It is a lot easier to forgive than to forget but as time goes on the memories will keep fading away.

I can forgive, but I can never forget. And if it is my boyfriend who offended me greatly, then I will break up with him. He broke my trust. I do not trust easily. So when my trust is broken, it is very hard to regain it. And a relationship without trust is a relationship that will surely just go down the drain. We can be civil to one another. But things will never be the same. That will also be the case with my friends. I can be civil to them. Say "Hi!" when I see them. But we will never be close again.

And you won't forget, nor should you. Just don't bring it up to them in a hurtful way or a way of getting revenge. If the guilty parties are truly sorry, they will have to earn your trust back, and that could take a very long time.

yes i think i could. but it takes time. as said "time heals all wounds". that's how it goes on forgive and forgetting.

I could forgive but i never will forget. Its all about karma

Yah, but sometimes not that easily. I heal myself first before I can do a favor for someone who hurt me.

I feel you but I think it`s always best to forgive and forget.Forgive and Forget.

i do give the forgive and forget for my friend but at that times i just want him to know that i never be the same again like before because his cheating on me

yes.i can forgive and forget any thing.man was given an excellent thing by god,i.e, forgetting the things and we should feel very happy for it.

ya sure i will forgive and forget.. those happenings.. and i wont remember.. now and then.. its all in the game.. na..

I forgive at first or second offense but might take a long while to forgive for the next offenses made. Dont you think i would not look stupid if i would still tolerate more offenses? As much as i want to forgive, i dont think i can ever forget the offenses done against me. If i would, then it would just be like i'm tolerating his bad deeds for me.

FORGIVE??? yes.. i can.. but forget??? i dn't think i can just forget what they did to me.. i mean.. i can stay friendly to them but i won't trust them anymre as much as i have trusted them before... its so painful to be betrayed by the one's we love and trust...i can forgive.... but i wont just forget what they did to me!
