Is it in you to forgive & forget a huge betrayal? Maybe forgive & never forget? Just forget and pretend they don't exist? Can you let it go?

Whats's the norm for you?

If the person who betrayed me was the same person with whom I betrayed my own partner, I'd say I got what I deserved.
For me, NO, I will never forgive or forget a betrayal. I don't cheat, and I won't tolerate it done to me.

@Horace Fair enough.
Musicman · 61-69, M
Yes it is and yes I have.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Musicman Which one?
I can forgive.. but I don’t forget.

We just acquaintances now.. ✌

Forgive and try to put that betrayal into context - and not forget it, but live with it.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Ontheroad Agreed. Forgetting lets them do it again.

depends on what it is some things shouldn't be forgiven especially if they keep doing them to other innocent people
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@GoFish Agreed.

I don't forget. I focus my energy and my brains and heart on other important things

Forgive, perhaps maybe even probably. Forget, no. I only forget useful things like the PIN for my SIM card.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@ninalanyon Lol. Yep

I forgive. I understand that every person can do a mistake. But broken sincerity leaves a trace. The heart remembers. I won't be able to open up to the initial, limitless degree again. ♥
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Busybee333 Yes, that particular depth of connection is gone.

A huge betrayal means I'm done.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@EldritchFox Can't blame you!
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
It depends entirely on the behavior/attitude of the person who betrayed me.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@PinkMoon Fair enough.
It was in me once to forgive a "huge betrayal", but that only led to even more garbage that came to me from hell delivered to me from that individual. Now I'm back to the zero-forgiveness policy that has always served me much better.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Magicianzini Sorry that happened. But yes. You let them get away with something once. They'll continue to do it again and again. I might forgive for my own piece of mind these days, but I never forget.
@LadyBronte Indeed, I knew that before I tried the whole forgive and forget routine - but I made an exception because of cardiac muscle tissue. Sometimes we know something but life still has to teach it to us for more of a 3D effect haha.

That's ok. Life gave me proof.

I forgive people now before they do anything. I guess I expect it now - expect it and accept it, peacefully. It works out better for everyone this way.
