Bad past???

Question

For those of you who have done some not so good things in the past....Have you ever stolen anything from someone you love? If so, how did you make it up to them and regain their trust?

If all you have is something bad to say about it then please don't answer at all. Thank you!

Answer 1

The only thing that I ever stole was a pack of gum when I was a kid: My dad marched me back to the store and made me apologize and confess. Truthfully, I have not stolen anything since.

However, when I was in college, I was date raped and the SOB denied it and they believed him!! If I were a different person, I would have made him pay dearly at the time. I did keep tabs on him and his behavior eventually caught up with him and he went to prison.
An example that patience can DEFINITELY prove to be the best virtue.

Answer 2

I don't think I have stolen from a loved one but I have done some things that I am not proud of.As I have grown older I have come to the belief that doing good works and striving to live a good life may be a way to somehow put right the things that I cannot turn the clock back on.Don't be too hard on yourself here

Answer 3

Realize how your friend feels. It's always easier writing to someone then face to face. Write an email or note saying that you were wrong and that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. Make sure your friend knows you don't want to lose her friendship.

Do things to earn back trust. Do small things that might mean a lot. Maybe organizing her locker, helping her clean her room, or something small but unexpected.

Stay out of her business for awhile. Don't be nosy, just live your own life and not hers. Even if you want to know someone, let her be the one to willing tell you. When she tells you, she trusts you again.

Hope this helps:)

Answer 4

Can't say i've been in the situation, but I would say admit that you were wrong, and either give back whatever you took, or pay them the value of it, and explain that it won't happen again, and tell them you understand that trusting you is going to take some time, but that you really want a good relationship with them, and you want to put the past behind you.
After all that, if there good people they should give you a second chance, but you have to really mean it.
Good luck

Answer 5

Well, as far as forgiveness goes, I don't think that once you violate someones trust (and that's just what it is, a violation), you can never truly get it back totally. People can forgive you for something that you have done to them, but it's the forgetting part that is so hard to overcome. Yes, they may forgive you, but they can never forget what you did and there will always, always be that memory....that lingering thought, that perhaps.....maybe you will do it again. You just have to go the extra mile, keep proving yourself. I'm sorry if this comes off as negative, but it comes from the heart.

Answer 6

No, But I have had persons to do that to me on several occasions. I think that the best thing is to tell the truth and come from the heart, because some of the people that have did me wrong still to this day haven't apologize, but I still forgive them anyway, however, I have cut them off in the process.

So I think that as long as you are sincerely apologetic and remorseful, but not looking for another hand out between you and God you will be okay but between you and that love one it depends on that persons willingness to forgive you....

Answer 7

Wow. That seems like a tough spot. But you seem to care and you seen very sorry about it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Let's see. I would ask them had they found the item. Let them talk about it for a bit, then perhaps the following week, I would tell them that I found it in my house. It must have fell or dropped behind something.

Let them be so glad to have it back. I would tell them that I think that they are such a cool person and wanted to hold on to something of theirs.

Then I would say, SORRY THAT I DIDN'T GIVE IT TO YOU SOONER.

Then give em a hug

Answer 8

.I would say return what you have stolen .Make a heart felt apology with acknowledgement that the victim of your bad behaviour You realise that the victim will have lost trust and respect for you .Do not do it ever again but realise that you may not be treated the same way as you once were

Answer 9

Sometimes you just can't fix it things. Other times it can take years. If what you did is bad enough that the other person doesn't want to talk to you or see you, it's probably best to make your apology and just back off. It's all you can do. You can't make a person forgive you. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on.
