[QUOTE="Eudaimonist, post: 55991631, member: 6065"] If she hasn't owned up to what she did and admitted that it was wrong, there is no [B]authentic[/B] request for forgiveness. That is not asking for forgiveness, but asking for you to overlook the hurt she did you. She could hurt you again and feel fully justified. I'm not a Christian, but from what I understand from the Christian perspective, you don't have to open yourself up to repeated abuse from someone who won't admit that what they did was wrong. You don't have to continue any friendship as if nothing had happened, just because someone asks you to. You don't need to forget the offense in your mind. However, you may need to "forget" the offense in your heart. IOWs, don't seek revenge. Don't nourish hatred. Move on with your life. [I]eudaimonia,[/I] Mark [/QUOTE]
