Constant forgiveness for the same infraction, just enables the offender to continue...it's a free pass, they learn that you are willing to accept this mistake & forgive them...again and again.

Personally, my breaking point was my children....hurt me & I forgive you...that's my own stupid fault.
Threaten our children...and I'll destroy your way of life

Nope... not under those conditions.

I've been crushed 1,001 times. But as long as love lives inside the 2... I'm bettin I've more to be forgiven for, than her.

I will forgive anything.

Forgiveness is not for them, it is for healing of the one who forgives.

Of course that does not obligate you to continue the relationship.
Yes, I would forgive them, but I may still send them packing or divorce them.

If they think that my forgiveness gives them licence to continue to abuse me or step all over me they are mistaken.

Forgiveness has nothing to do with them it is all about your own resentment that you are hanging on to.

To get on with your own life, you must let go of resentment and hatred and forgive all who have done you wrong.

Then you are free. Be yourself and let them be who they are.

In order to let them go, you must forgive them. It is sometimes the only way to get them out of your life.

i totally agree with jeannie. i forgive, i can't recall a time i held resentment or a grudge.
it doesn't mean i will allow something to continue that is negative in my life. but, forgiveness
is for our own personal growth. life is too short.
