While it is usually said that True love conquers and forgives ALL :-) How far are you willing to forgive your partner?
INFINITELY or do you have some boundaries they dare never cross? :-)

Whoredom.

cheating, cannot be forgiven.

How much do I forgive?..somewhere between too much and not enough..

My opinion is it would depend on the relationship. All the relationships you have are different. The intensity or measure of love you have from one relationship to another will vary.
One of my ex's didn't get forgiveness for much, but another ex got me to forgive tons of things as he broke every rule in the book of love. I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to how many times. It's just what you feel like you can do at the time. If this person keeps trespassing on your heart, it will eventually wear your heart down to a nub. You then may decide enough is enough.
It also can depend on if your partner has a big problem with something. Mental illness, or addiction, (if there is a difference lol), can cause a lot of trouble in a relationship, and end it if you don't get help in accessing why your partner keeps doing things that are not cool. Addictions etc, require more forgiveness from you. Even in that, your partner needs to be constantly working towards getting better in a way you can see it, so you will have the willingness to forgive if they mess up again. Some people mess up many times before they finally figure out what the answers are.

You forgive as much as your heart can bear...

I can forgive anything. I see no point in holding on to grudges, they will eventually eat a hole in your soul. Plus I'm a romantic, I firmly believe that if you ever really loved someone, you always will, and as far as my experience teaches me, that's true.


However, when my trust is broken, that is almost impossible to regain.

good post.

I'm happy to forgive anything.

But like RoamingOrator Once you break my trust it's gone.
and once the trust is gone the relationship is over.

So although I would forgive a parter i would not stay, i would just be a forgiving friend.

I forgave my ex-wife for what she did....and then I took the cats and kicked her out. Haha!

If I was married, the boundary would be infidelity and He would have to go. I don't think you have Real love if you have to cheat.

A Man can not cheat on any woman, if he is not married to her.

People who date have no Real committment to each other. IMHO

wow... WOW! I can relate completely.

wow....and wow again.... so true. Thanks for reminding me. I'd forgotten.

But with a perception that the process of creating and maintaining a true is one that is fraught with errors, corrections, and mutual guidance, wouldn't it be better to forgive the seemingly WORSE offences of a loving and loved partner other than ending that relationship to start a fresh one?
The devil you know may be easier to correct than one you don't!

I can forgive anything once and move on unaffected. If it happens again, I will assign tasks that must be completed before I'll forgive a second time. In other words, she must make amends. If those tasks are not completed in a reasonable amount of time I assume that earning my forgiveness isn't a high priority for her and therefore I'm not a high priority for her and I leave.

I can forgive infinitely, because once someone shows me their character, the responsibility to believe it is up to me

but forgiveness doesnt REQUIRE anyone to continue to remain in a bad relationship,,,

thats just it, there is an option to not be with a devil

or to 'risk' that you may find someone who is not a devil when you start over

Very difficult to answer.

There's too much going on in the world to sit around and forgive and all that.
I'd cut my losses and move on.

Ten years of marriage I have forgiven a lot over the years including constant cheating total of four times....so what happened? I slowly began falling out of love with him...we are friends now because we have children together but now he looks back and wishes for what's we had and I tell him every time that I will never be that person for you again because I can not love the way did before you tore apart what we had.
