Whether it be a betrayal of a girlfriend/boyfriend, a friend, a family member, a co-worker... Would you be able to forgive a betrayal?
It's a very tricky situation for me, Because in the past, my answer would be a categorical "no". But over the years I've come to think differently, and today, I say that I have to analyze the whole context of the situation to decide whether to forgive or not.

It takes time yet we should forgive.

I struggle with forgiveness. I don't know how to give it when the person doesn't apologize. I had a coworker who betrayed me once. She was a manager and sent me a text, asking me how the new manager was doing. I texted back and told her some of the things the new manager needed to work on. Then she went to that new manager and showed her what I had said about her. It caused a big issue and I had to have a private word with the new manager to explain the situation. I was very upset. I haven't forgiven my manager but I definitely don't trust her anymore.

For me it would depend on how big a betrayal. If it was a betrayal that changed my life or that endangered my life or anything like that I would never forgive. If it was a betrayal that fades with the memory or can easily be pushed in the background and life does go on and things change I would forgive.

I would forgive them but I would never make the same mistake of trusting them again
