Irregardless of whether it's a situation you've been through or not, what is one thing you could never forgive a person for.
I think mine would have to be cheating, but it's not what you think. I have been cheated on, and I've forgiven my ex only so that I could move on. The person I can not forgive is my ex's best friend's ex girlfriend. (That's a mouthful, you might have to read that twice). She tried to contact me a few years ago but I did not even bother responding to her. She set my ex husband up with another woman, even knowing that we were still together and that I had no idea he wanted to leave me.
A real woman would tell the other woman "Hey, so your husband? He's trying to cheat on you."
Instead she perpetrated his cheating. So yeah, I can't forgive her for that.
What about you?

I can usually forgive most everything, including cheating. Forgiving doesn't make anyone a fool, it makes fools wiser. I had forgiven my stepfather for all of the physical, mental and emotional abuse he put me through as a child, but what I can't forgive is my mother for ignoring it. Even after I told her about some of things he was doing to me, she turned it around and accused me of being the 'instigator' and a troublemaker. I can't forgive how my mother would allow and watch my stepfather whip my bare backside, (legs, butt and back) with a whipping crop until he drew blood.
I can forgive everyone else who has ever done me wrong, but as hard as I try, I can't forgive my mother.

It wasn't right that she let it keep on happening to you and not believing you. or turning it around to make it seem like it was your fault. Females shouldn't do that to each other, no matter the circumstance.

I did not have a cheating husband so I don“t know how I would react. But I think cheating does not only happen with spouses. What that woman did to you was worse than anything. I would not forgive.

I believe she had some mental issues, she herself used to say that she was a schizophrenic. I feel sorry for my ex's best friend, he had a child with her and can not ever get away from her.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It is a pity! Do you have children with him?

@marguicha No, I was lucky not to have children with him. It wouldn't have been easy, nor fair to the children when we split.

There is one thing that my husband did or really refused to do, that I could never forgive him for. Years ago my husband was in the service and was stationed in NC,my mother lived in Florida. My mother had been real sick for a long time and was taken to the Hospital, I recieved a letter through express mail from my grandmother saying they didn't expect my mother to live and she was asking for me. At this time, I did not have a job, car, or know how to drive. I was totelly dependent on my husband. What I can not forgive my husband for is, refusing to take me to see my mother or giving me the money to catch a bus. My mother passed away and I could not be there for her. What really upset me was the fact that after she passed away, he was ready to jump in the car and take me back home. Even though it's been many years ago, if I think about it, it makes me mad and also sad.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oh yes, and what was really bad, he never told me he was sorry until around 25 years later when his own mother passed away. He then said how sorry he was because he knew how I felt. I just looked at him and walked away.

I can forgive almost anything, what I can't forgive is if something wrong is done repeatedly even if it's just a small thing. I tend to always forgive a first offense but I become more cautious and put safeguards so it won't happen again.

I am the same way. I can forgive once, maybe even twice, but a third offense and I will either sever ties or never trust you again.

I had to forgive because I couldn't forget. It helped that I forgave him, though he never actually knew that I did.

My ex-husband had supposed friends, 'Bob and Marie.' They were married and had three kids. Bruce would visit their home, but I never fit in because I didn't drink. They had a teenage babysitter, they fixed my husband up with. Eventually, Bruce confessed this affair and asked me to forgive him, he was ashamed! I never mentioned it again, our marriage was excellent for 8 years. Bob and Marie couldn't figure out, why I never accepted them as friends!

I have a similar story to you then. The girl that set my husband up with her friend had come around to me wanting to be friends. I just didn't like her and I guess I wasn't exactly quiet about it. I don't believe I ever outwardly said it either.

@kobesbuddy It definitely sounds like they weren't looking at what was right in front of them. Some people feel they can do no wrong and do not understand when others tell them otherwise.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Whenever I saw Marie or Bob at a store, I'd avoid them. They had not one inkling, why I wasn't acting friendly!
Were they stupid, or what?
