Does anyone else find that whenever anyone does anything wrong they can't forgive them very easily? It's like whenever anyone's done anything wrong in a relationship I can't forgive them all I can do is keep moaning and going on about it. I am so stubborn in my ways, it's horrible :(

Lucky786 agony auntForgiving is not a good thing in my experience. Too many people see it as an invitation to treat you like a mug. Why should you forgive and let people off the hook so easy when they are the ones that messed up? You forgive when you are good and ready. If the other person can't be bothered to work at gaining your forgiveness then they 'ain worth it.

Danielepew agony auntForgiving is great. It means you recognize that everyone is imperfect and may occasionally hurt you, sometimes on purpose, but the person has another chance. Or seventy times seven chances.

Forgiving is also great because it releases you. When you can't let go of what someone did to you, then, in a way, you're still prisoner of that person.

But forgiving is dumb when you do it just for the sake of thinking you're "good" while the other person takes advantage.

When someone wants forgiveness, s/he should also show repentance. Otherwise forgiving is just another way for people to take advantage of you.

What kind of forgiveness are you talking about?
