I highly doubt it. I was watching Sex and teh City reruns on tv. And it got me thinking about this. I watched the episode where Carrie and Aiden get back together after she breaks his heart. But even though they do get baxck together, he was continually punishing her for what she did. I found this to be very true to real life. Any thoughts?

Not forget.

I ask myself the same a lot. My ex is in my life for the indefinite future (many mutual friends), and I just wonder if I can ever look at him, and fully feel ok in terms of "forgiving/forgetting" everything he put me thru. As the above post said, forgive yes (I think), forget no...but at times, I am not sure even how to forgive all he has put me through. And IF he ever came wanting me back, I too wonder if that'd even be possible (I try to keep the mindset I dont want him back) but hypothetically speaking here...could I ever get past it. The only way a "second chance" at a relationship works I think is if you really move past it, but I think it'd all resurface anyway eventually.

I think the same as well.

 

Forgive, sure, even that is tough, but its hard to forget, its like saying dont think of a pencil. What do you do, think of a pencil right. Once its in there, its become solid and tough to unthink it. When someone puts you through pain and anguish you feel it and its shapes you to some extent. You can eventually get over the hurt and pain but its very hard to forget. It may not pain you when you think about it, but thats just it - "when you think about it" - implies it never really leaves you.

 

Just my 2 cents
