It is impossiable to forgive someone without forgetting, that is why I hate the phrase so much.

In order to forgive the person you must people able to get over what they have done to you - thus forgetting it. However, poeple now a days can seldom to that.
If you say "I forgive you - but I'll never forget it - "then you haven't really forgiven anything at all.
