Does anyone else think that a relationship can fail because of the other persons unwillingness to forgive?


I would say so. It might have something to do with balancing sensitivity. One can get either too sensitive or not be sensitive enough. At least I have found to be true for me in my job. Last night while working with a resident who is normally needy I seem to come up with a happy medium that was okay for me and the resident. She was apologizing for getting on her call light so much and instead of coming back with a negative response out of revenge or dishonest out of trying to placate her which doesn't work I just said, "Its my job.":smile:

A trust is sacred but one thing you should ask yourself and the other is why was that trust broken? Every situation is different and every situation has a reason. My partner broke our trust because someone we both trusted convinced her that I was lying and leaving. It took alot for this too happen and I didn't notice what was going on. She should have been more honest about what was being said behind my back but I should have been more willing to listen.

If someone ask me for forgiveness I give it, don't mean I will totally trust them.

I really have to pray about forgiving someone,if its somethings that really pissed me off...You better hope God grants me the abilility before I see you on the street or ill kick your asz nine times outta ten..
Trust is earned..Im kinda red-necky on that ..It always sits and brews in the back of my mind,that will be how I remember you.

but since Im dieing now..(which only a few know)...Im am trying to make my walk with God closer.although I seem to also be a bit meaner as well...on some things.
but maybe thats just life..You reach a point to where your just tired of all the ********, people try to dish out.

I went out on a few dates with one lady. About the third date, she informed me that she had had an affair on her ex husband. Now, as soon as she told me this, she quickly went into how her ex had cheated on her first, and therefore she didn't feel "bad" about cheating on him. I found this interesting in that she was justifying the act of cheating. I mean the words "justifying" and "cheating" just don't seem to go hand in hand to me. Lol. But, to each their own. Anyways, I didn't judge her for what she did. I actually found more fault in how she wanted to make cheating seem "ok". I don't buy into the theory of "once a cheater, always a cheater", because I believe more in that people can learn from their mistakes. I forgive easily. Forgetting may take some time. I believe that forgiving is just being human. Why hold a grudge?

Trust is scared and also very fragile.
It can shatter like fine glass.

I also believe that being angry with someone, or not being able to forgive them ~ sometimes for my own sake, not theirs ~ is like me drinking poison and waiting for them to die.

I choose not to expend my energy on anger or grudges. It's healthier for me.

amen,,, I think one of the gravest injustices to our culture was the sweeping philosophy that people 'dont' or 'cant' change,,,

if they hit you once,,
if they cheat on you once,,,
if they commit one crime,,,
I was 'born this way'


I believe people are capable of changing ANYTHING they want to change, but that some changes take more will and effort than others and take a strong motivation to undertake


my husband hit me, he sent me to the hospital,, EXACTLY ONCE,

we went through a time of seperation, while he got counseling and we came back better than ever without EVER having another incident

but thats because he was MOTIVATED to change, it can and does happen
