Could you truly forgive a friend who seriously wronged you?

Question

Or do you think that you would always have a slight bit of resentment in the back of your mind?

Answer 1

its normal that u hav a resentment.....this is a feeling of wat u feel really about the matter....ha i friend wronged me a month ago...and i let my feelings get control over my actions and stop to talk with him...
but this is not a solution...cuz in the end u will end-up with so few friends....A true friend told me, that hypocrites will always exist so why de-socialize with them... i do not know what ur friend has done...but forgive him...believe me...but this doesnt mean that u must forget what he did to u....just take some distance with him/her
Forgiving is important cuz no one is perfect and that i think that in ur life u ever back-stabbed some one or do some sort of treason even if it is insignificant/little harm..... a friend tolo me that a treason is not a treason...and to stop judging people cuz ur no better than them...hope u understand my pt....

Answer 2

Forgiving people who do us wrong is a great act because it is something that is difficult to do especially when the hurting is too much to bear. However, if we want to have peace of mind at all times, we better forgive these people or else we will not have good night sleeps.

If you want to have a peaceful life, I think you should really forgive your friend but your forgiveness should be sincere and coming from your heart. Then, if your friend does not do again the hurting he did before, you better not harbor any feeling of resentment in your heart for your having him as your friend again.

If your friend asked for your forgiveness and you haven"t granted it to him yet, do not waste your time thinking about what he did. Rather, think of beautiful things to happen with your friendship because just like love, true friendship may be sweeter the second time around.

You think you can, but the resentments in the background. My friend tried to sleep with my partner when they both had too much to drink, i thought i had forgiven her. 3 years after i split with my partner, i had to kiss her ex boyfriend to get it out of my system. That worked as now i have completely got over it. I guess it depends on the wrong that was done in the first place

Answer 4

I wouldn't bother, friends are supposed to be that small population of the world that you don't have to wonder about being wronged by, if you do then they can join the ranks of the rest of the world that i don't bother with. As the saying goes, with friends like that who needs enemies. I'm pretty much a one shot kind of girl, you are my friend only as long as you behave in the way a friend should. Otherwise I'll pass, I lived without you before and I'll do it again.

Answer 5

I think you can forgive them for the most part, but it will always come up any time they make you mad. Once bitten, twice shy kind of thing. I don't think I would be able to trust that person to the full extent I once did.

Answer 6

yes u should forgive your friend .i must tell u one thing that forgiver is always at a higher position than a revenge taker. man ultimately means to "mistakes"

Answer 7

keep ur friends close but ur enemies closer. in other words why would u wanna forgive him?? stay friends and get some serious dirt, then bask in the wamth of revenge :D

Answer 8

No matter the offence, u have to forgive he/her if you want God to forgive u your sins. Am sure we offend God so deeply that he might feel like condeming us to hell but he still forgives us so we have to forgive others.

Answer 9

A friend will never hurt you, and if a person is seriously wronged you, why should you still wanna treat him/her as a friend....

Answer 10

If it was done by accident, by all means forgive and forget. If it was done intentionally, NO WAY, NEVER, they are not a friend.
