Have you forgiven somebody who had wronged you because of LOVE?

My current boyfriend made me experience hell before we got together. We were at the level of "mutual understanding", and I thought we had something special. However, I refused to acknowledge my own feelings. When he officially asked me out, I asked if he could wait, since I thought I wasn't ready. Then, when I innocently brought over a guy friend during our school fair, he practically gave up on me, saying that he hates competition. He started going out with some other girl he was never close to, shunning me out of his life, labeled as nothing but the best friend. He made me suffer for 2 months, giving me nothing but sleepless nights full of tears. One positive thing about that is my grades skyrocketed. I needed an output for all the anger, so I channeled it to my studies. On the 2nd month, I decided to give up and leave it be. I stopped texting him and everything. I ignored him whenever we'd see each other, and my classmates were really supportive of me trying to move on by trying their best to make me laugh all the time. And then he came back to my life. He shunned all communication with the girl and begged for my forgiveness. He told me that now that I wasn't in his life anymore, he wasn't happy; he felt incomplete. Despite all the pain, I forgave him. We're together now, been together for a year. I guess that's what love just is.

Love can pull you in so many different directions. I have been hurt before and i have forgiven that hurt because of the love i have felt for this person. Even if they were wrong, the love was always there to guide and comfort.

I must admit that it does take me time to forgive, but I eventually do for my own peace of mind. However, although I do not dwell on the past issues I do not forget and will not allow my guard to be taken down. So to a certain extent not fully as it would be hard to totally forgive and yet say won't forget. If it is a partner, I forgive mentally as I somehow grow numb and do not give it a second thought. I also will not remain with a partner who wrongs me in that way.
