Forgiveness - should you forgive someone who isn't remorseful?

Miklee02 · 51-55, F
You should or it’ll eat you up inside.... forgive and move on
@Miklee02 or you could eat them instead. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@NerdyPotato oh uhm

@fun4us2b yes always forgive
Doesn’t mean you stick around for more abuse or hurt but forgive and if need be don’t look back
Yes. Forgiveness isn't for them, it's for your peace of mind. You deserve that even more if they aren't remorseful.

No.

If they don't seek forgiveness, it shouldn't be granted.

Not forgiving doesn't mean you need to dwell on what happened.

Just pick up the pieces and move on.

I think yes. If you don't, it can turn into bitterness and a grudge. What people do, is on them and their own conscience.

Yeah forgiveness is for you.

That said, I am still mad at dead people so I'm not the best example.

I guess it depends on what they did somethings can't and shouldn't be forgiven.

Yes. For your own sanity.

I'm in a situation with the question right now, but I'm choosing to say "fuck em". If they aren't remorseful, they are probably going to do it again. So all I'm considering is the price of repeated behaviour, and for me it's not worth it

No..

But pass any judgement into the hands of the LORD and be prepared to grant them forgiveness if they come to their senses and express their remorse..

It's a hard question - I'm struggling with something like this now...forgive and then go through this again next week?
Hating them for the rest of your life is wasted energy so...

You should try..not forgiving people has a tendency to eat you alive
Forgive and move on, keep that person out of your life if possible...

Yes, forgiveness is a key ingredient for our emotional healing

Forgive Yes...Give them another chance No
I don't usually forgive and I never forget
nowic2 · 61-69, M
Yep, it's like Daisy50 & PhpPhoenix say.

I dunno. It's hard to forgive even there is no remorse. But I suppose it's healthy. Still, an honest apology would be wonderful.
