Your lover / wife / husband has too often hurt you, until he/she was 3 times cheating behind you. In the past, you often forgive him/her because you think he/she will change, but not. Are you still forgive him/her? why?

It's good to have a forgiving heart, but then what the problem is its not easy to forget. Coz this forgiving and forgetting should be always together. If i can i will always want to forgive but then heart can still be tired and i hope i will never come in that stage for my kids sake.

Yes, the hardest thing I do is just to forget, although all have been fine.

will you forgive people who have often hurt you? maybe or may not, its up to me to forgive that person. when i mad it will just let it go for an hour. and its normal again. but i have someone that hurt me a lot and still now i mad at him. and i forgive him but i don't want to be with him any more. bec. i just do it again he promise me that he will come but his mother pass away and he did not come. so he don't have a bone to prove to me that he loves me. and i don't care about him any more. but when you care for someone that is you are concern about that person. and when you are concern its love. but i don't have any concern about that person its nothing to you even what happen to his life. thank you.

Forgiveness is really hard but we will never get God's answer to the prayers that we raise when we do not forgive people who wronged us. I had a bitter experience and it seems I will never forgive him, but gradually I realized that in this world there are still other things we can do other than feel the pain of prolonged liver. forgive people who wronged us with a sincere heart the same as putting burning coals on his head.

habits that I do is always a mistake to forget these people and pray for him not to repeat his mistake again. and if possible I always wanted to take him to realize himself, that his behavior has hurt others

my boyfriend has never cheated on me but what have split up many times and he has said hurtful words whilst we have been together & split up, i forgive him each time because i love him and most of the time i understand that he has trouble admitting when he is in the wrong & pushes people away who get to close to him, i dont agree with forgiving someone when they have cheated once a cheat always a cheat. no ifs or buts whether they where drunk or what ever pathetic excuse they give you (: but if its hurtful words, and he/she is willing to apologise and try to work it out, try get to the bottom of the problem like why they said it and build a relationship up, but you need to talk. that is the main thing of a relationship is talking and trusting each other

When my partner will cheat me at the first time, i will still forgive him if he will ask for my forgiveness and he will promise that he will never cheat again but if he will cheat again for the second time i will never forgive him again because for me i believe in what other people say like "one is enough,two is too much, third is like a poison".. If he can't change in the first chance that i give to him i think he cannot change any more.

People who always give forgiveness to those who do wrong is characteristic of the cautious. Such people will forgive those who do wrong to him, even if the guilty never apologized to him. And haste ye to the forgiveness of your Lord and to heaven that area of sky and earth are reserved for those who believe, (that) those who restrain anger and pardon (mistakes) of others, God loves those who do good

Every man does not escape from errors, mistakes and sins. We must forgive the person who admitted doing nothing wrong with a note not to repeat his actions, the case of sin that he made the reckoning let the LORD, Be kind even if that person has hurt us even that is reluctant to the greatness of our hearts.

I had this kind of relationship before and believe me, it will never work out. Do not ever settle your self to someone that is a born cheater. Not merely a born cheater, but they would think that this consistent inappropriate behavior that they kept on repeating, is just normal and they do not even care how much hurtful feelings they would cause you. If you want to be happy, love someone who is very loyal. Because loving someone includes respect and loyalty. In my case, I will forgive that person but would never forget and bring back all the love and care feelings that I had with that person before. Always remember, that it is not your lost letting that person out of your life. Someone will love him or her again but still he will continue on that kind of attitude. But alas, you are already happy with your life living without any stressors in your life. :)

It's hard but we must, even though they're doing it over and over again. I put my trust to the one I love that someday, even if we're not together anymore, she will change. I am not a martyr but it would even hurt a lot if forgiveness is not given because it will result to even bitter feelings. Yes we should not settle for a relationship that's going nowhere but at least we're not the one to be blamed.
