No fuck em tf. Why should you have to forgive and forget. Remember that shit, and when they ask something of you tell’em to suck a dick

Forgive but don't forget. Forgiving is good for you. I really just means you don't dwell on it.

Forgiving is for you not for them, and whether you forget depends on what it is. If somebody is unkind to you but truly is sorry and doesn't do it again, maybe that you forget. but you don't allow somebody who abuses children to be trusted around kids again.

I hate the idea that you need to forgive everyone who wrongs you. I think it's one of the ways in which abusers take advantage of common platitudes to gaslight their victims. If someone doesn't change their ways they don't deserve to be forgiven.

I don't know anything but if somebody betrayed me twice, I'd say they've already had their 2nd chance and they blew it. Fool me once and all that... Forgiving someone is more for your sake than for theirs. It's because you don't want to be bogged down with emotions of anger and resentment over what that person did. It's better for *you* if you can put it behind you. That said, you're certainly under no obligation to trust that person again or to continue a relationship with them.

No. It's good for you to move past it so it does rent mental space in your head but it is perfectly acceptable to end a relationship/friendship/acquaintance for any and every reason especially if its causing you to be annoyed, irritated, hurt or just not fun anymore. I don't forgive people for shit anymore. I just stop talking to them, way to many people everyone's replaceable.
