I know you have to forgive people for what they do to you, but is it ok never to forget? Because I've had so many things happen to me from the same person and then I forgive her and then she does it again, it's like she likes to see me cry and be upset. If you were in the situioation what would you to?

With me you get 3 chances once those 3 chances are up thats it. They would not be my friend anymore. How much can one person take especially because we can't forget what people do to us. Yes, we can forgive but again how many times. If she keeps doing the same thing over and over again you need to walk away from her for good. As long as you let her do whatever she is doing to you she will keep doing it. So you need to step away and let this person go once and for all so she can't keep hurting you. Good luck to you.

well sometimes the situations are made like this that where we are unable to forget things and we do forgive the people to show them that we are no more annoyed from them but we cannot forget the thing which they did to us and that situation is unbearable and unforgetable. and this also depends upon people nature , some have the nature of forgiving whereas some don't have the nature of forgiving anyone so i think it depends upon situation and person's nature. i think i will just let it go

It's simple if to treat the bad persons. If one of them does something wrong to me, I can't save any lenience for them, I'll forget them because they don't deserve to appear in my mind, but I have to revenge myself on them first. However, it is harder if the ones we love hurt us. I was in such a situation, and I decided not to forgive that man, the resentment kept me stronger to pass over many difficulties in life. I have made him undergo the same misery I had. But then I have realized that payback didn't make me feel happy, so I have pulled out of this struggle. Now I see that hating someone doesn't make me feel easy, and once we forgive someone, we also set free ourself.

Anyone who is guilty on us, we are obliged not only to forgive her just on the lips, but also from the deepest heart. There's nothing left. Forget all, let's just say we lost memories. Everyone can make mistakes in life, is a mistake as well if we can not forgive and forget the mistakes of others. Do not let the same mistake with the error returned.

An ideal way is forgive her n forget what she's done to u but i realize that it's sooooo difficult to forget repetition of fault. I think, the best way is u learn to forgive n forget. u might not be able at first or second or next but learning never end. Then if u can't trust her not to repeat the same fault, just avoid her. I mean not to quit ur friendship but only keep away.
