personally speaking, i do think i would forgive them, but not for them, for me ykwim. i need to move on from it. but i will never forget. i will never forget neither will i ever entertain the person ever again. they’d remain a learning experience in my past, nothing less nothing more.
yeah i think that’s a very valid answer.
Yes, I would. I have done that. I sometimes get crap for being too forgiving to him because he took advantage of me when i was a kid given he was going to be an adult and that, in many people's books, is unforgivable.
I've hated him, cursed him, and hurt myself over him. Hate, for the right person, can be a driving force in getting better but it wasn't for me. I just wallowed in it and thought back on our relationship.
I tried convincing myself I hated him and that I could not forgive him for what he did. It didn't work. I still cared for him and loved him. Not romantically anymore but I saw him at his worst so I found it hard to walk away.
If I was pulled away from him I would've stayed. Even now I pray that he is well , that he has graduated and found love in people that cared for him enough to pull him out of depression the same way I tried. And I'm not even religious but I want him to be better. I wonder how he ia doing sometimes to actually confirm it. He did me horribly, I suffer from what he had done.
I forgave him. Maybe I still have some issues to work on but I care for him and still hold onto some of that love because while he was such a terrible person we also had good memories together so I feel like I can't hold a grudge.
I rambled but I think I was able to answer your question and explain why. It seemed fun ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Trauma and moving on are concepts that we still find complicated to this day and so no one should give you shit for dealing with it in the best way you can, I’m sorry that happened to you. Don’t worry about rambling, I found your answer to be really interesting!
read this a while ago but i came back bc i think it puts an interesting question into the reader’s mind of: are you able to forgive someone after they have done something absolutely horrible to you if they changed their life around and feel genuine regret about their actions and have grown fundamentally as a person since?
i don’t think this manhwa properly answers or interprets an answer to this question but it truly is such an intriguing concept.
