I have been emotionally hurt by the person I love. but when he ask for forgiveness, why does it become so easy for me to forgive what he has done? Does this happen to the rest of you?

I personally think that it's because you are head over heels with this person. Is that true? When you truly love someone, you see past their flaws and will accept and love them no matter how bad they have hurt your feelings. Although this might be the case when you're in love, but you have to have limits as well. you can't keep forgiving him every time. what's the point of him saying sorry when he keeps on repeating the same mistake? does he not care about your feelings? maybe you should try talking things over with him. if it happens so frequently and if you're not happy, then it's no point being in this relationship anyway. take care and hope all will work out well :)

Hi. There are a lot of things that you can think of as a reason for that. It might be so that you can forgive most of the people more often than not, it may be because you love the person whom we are talking about. Yes, indeed I think that the love have a great roll to play in this situation.

I think a lot of women love unconditionally when they are truly in love, they just want to be happy and loving so forgiveness comes easy to keep the feeling alive, unfortunately in my life I have found I seemed to have gotten walked on by being this way, don't be ashamed of being the way you are it is a nice way to be it is just ashamed some people take advantage of a good heart.

Hmm. Good perspective on this. I still think one should stand up and not take the deception and the garbage from a supposed loved one. Its good to be kind and have a nice heart, I have it most times, but I'm no fool and I'm not going to forgive anyone who's trespassed on me. No one else should either.

This is something that happens to me all the time.I have never been able to explain to myself why...but I do understand that my love for him helps me overcome any ill feeling or grudge that I nurse towards him,and the moment he reassures me,...forgiving him seems to be the easiest thing to do.It seems as if there wasn't any hurting at all.The minute he apologises,it's like I want to forget how he hurt me,and just want us to be happy once again.

I think it depends on the circumstances and the degree of pain he has caused you. If he has commited a grave act, i dont think forgiveness comes easy. Maybe after sometime, when wounds have already healed, forgiveness comes easy. But I believe that its always easier to forgive than forget.

trust me ,many people have the same experiences as you.I think that's quite natural,just because you love him.You know ,when you fall in love with someone,you will regard him or her a perfect guy,whatever he /she has done,you will appreciate it,even when he/she did something bad to you,you would feel it's really hard for you to be angry with him/her,you might even try to critisize yourself:is it me that made him/her do that?...let alone he/she apologises to you,you would forgive him/her at once,just because of love!

I am easy to forgive someone too, but after so long i think some people take advantage of your forgiveness and they just do what ever they want, because they know you will be fast to forgive no matter what.

To err is human and to forgive is divine. But, if the people whom you always forgive doesn't learn his own lesson, your stupid enough to understand that he just using you. well, i think love can really makes you more forgiving.

No. Fortunately for me, I could see my exes for disgusting, worthless trash! The few that tried to apologize, I knew they didn't mean it. Even if they did, they hurt me, I don't have to forgive them, nor forget what happened. You just have to have a little more strength in this. Harden your heart a bit.
