Depends. on what's at stake. But in the long run, I would forgive, I guess. Because I'm a sucker for a sad story!!!!!Besides, I have to stick to one of my guiding principles; "To err, is human. To forgive is divine. "
Usually, they say that forgiving and forgetting go hand in hand. But technically, it takes tremendous energy; bordering on the divine level, to forgive somebody who did you wrong. And more tremendous efforts deep down into one inner self and the mental insight to forget. This is especially true to someone as close to you as a loved one as a spouse or your life partner.
There's a saying: "To err is human. To forgive is DIVINE." How true! By forgiving someone who transgressed against you or did you wrong. You rid yourself off any resentment, ill feelings and the deep-seated ANGER or animosity towards that person. The warm feelings then that overcome you is one of inner peace tranquility and calmness. Try it today. You'll find out for yourself. Your body will thank you for it.
Besides, calling it quits is to admit defeat and surrender. Later on, you might regret this action. Or you would doubt the wisdom of that action. Did I make the right decision to break -up? did I give him a fair chance? If I had only forgiven, maybe I would have been happier now. Maybe we would have salvage our marriage! No, I would fight to keep a good man; or somebody I love.
Besides , you tend to lose more by calling it quits. Unless of course, it was such a terrible marriage or relationship. To establish a good and solid relationship; it takes some efforts, patience and understanding.and a constant dose of love. .

You always forgive. That is not an option. Sometimes, though you may have to do BOTH. If a man is abusing you, you have to forgive him AND call it quits. If it is a much lighter offense, and they apologize, youcan forgie and try again. If the offense is a PATTERN in their behaivour, then you have to call it quits. You cannot keep putting a band-aid on a wound they keep ripping open.

After about 20 "forgives." I recently decided to call it quits.
Forgiveness is an admirable thing, but there is only so far one can go without being a doormat.

Most would choose a third option which is to never let them live it down. For me, I would probably forgive simply from weakness.

well, of course it would depend on the situation. I have forgiven in the past for different reasons but not so much now. I have grown weary of the dramas that others bring to the relationships. But like I said it would depend on the situation.
