is it possible to forgive someone you once loved?

I think forgiveness not always equals accepting the person back into your life. Like, I forgive so I can let go of the grudge and let it stop hurting me. It doesn't mean there'll be a second chance to come back to my life because our story ended.   reply

i think forgiveness is the inexplicable ability to see the good in people. forgiveness is ALWAYS a virtue, but it's not an obligation!!! imo i def would hear out someone who has hurt me once because everyone has different circumstances and theres no black and white way fo determine how people act. not many people agree on having an open mind and ex......   reply

Forgiveness is letting go of a grudge and being willing to move forward with someone. It doesn’t mean pretending it never happened though. Like if someone steals things from you, then repents and gives them back, you can forgive them and still put your valuables away when they come over, or not invite them over at all until you’re positive it�......   reply

Hmm （￣へ￣）it depends on the context. How long has it been? How severe was the mistake? have you moved on or did it leave a permanent mark? how much accountability are they willing to take? can you go through all that again keeping in mind it could be painful? what your relation was with that person? the matter of forgiveness also depends ......   2 reply

They want to take accountability now? So they are directing this at you right now? Hmmm.....obvy depends on what happened to require forgiveness cause each of us have different levels of what a person might do to us that can be classed forgivable or not. (Forgivable is a weird concept cause one can accept and be at peace with others actions agai......   reply

I think forgiveness sometimes means accepting/coming to terms with what already happened, even if that person never took responsibility outright (and perhaps still committing the said-acts without me knowing), all for sake that by doing so, it provides the clearest, most controllable and most desirable outcome for all those involved. Stories and m......   reply

My friend used to have a toxic ex then years ago they reached out to her and asked for forgiveness and if they can start over again she accept their forgiveness and now they're dating healthy for 2 year and a half so yeah i think its possible to forgive someone who once hurt you from the past as long as they really mean their "accountability" towar......   reply

Yes you can forgive someone u loved! When people are hurt deeply by someone I feel like usually they either 1. Let go and heal or 2. Heal but seek revenge or hold hatred in their heart. 9 times out of 10, #1is more optimal and sure #2 is satisfying to see but think about yourself in 50 years, will you really still care? Will you have so much free t......   reply

Forgiveness is to accept their apology and basically end all the bs that’s happening or to me at least. It depends on what they’ve done to you tbh. Would you want to keep on remembering them and the bad things they did to you or would you forgive them and go back to normal?   reply

As someone who been through shit that includes a parent of mine, I would just say from personal experience, it is possible for people to forgive people but it's impossible to forget. I think with time people emotions tend to change (of course that depends on the circumstances as well) A lot of people hold on resentment, anger or sadness even th......   reply
