i admit i have made plenty of mistakes. some very stupid, some not so as much, some just incredibly selfish and not realizing as such when doing so, etc.

i guess you could say that some of these mistakes are similar in nature to one another but at the same times different (no infidelity or anything along those lines). quite frankly, they were mostly self-serving, manipulative and selfish. i own it. i've apologized with full sincerity.

but i know that words don't mean a thing. its actions. dont tell me, show me. the problem i am having is that the other person doesn't know how to forgive (their words). they have also said they don't know if they are capable of forgiving. this has gone on for quite some time now.

occasionally i will do something stupid in their eyes that only makes the situation worse and i guess further solidifies their reasoning to not forgive me. it isn't anything detrimental in the grand scheme of things but it gets lump into the past shite i screwed up on.

i know i can only change me and can't do anything about the other person. but at what point can i get some closure on my end when i can't be forgiven because the other person doesn't know how to forgive? i normally wouldn't care if it were an acquaintance but this is a very important person to me.

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

I pulled for Atlanta today to beat the chiefs. Don't care to see them in another superbowl.

Atlanta did what they do best though, and I still got a good laugh at least

So you cheated? Definitely seems like you cheated. If so, you’re in for a bumpy ride.

Everything should be forgivable except murder

If the same mistakes keep getting piled on - I can see how it could annoy the person - but it should be forgivable

Not in my opinion, but that obviously depends on how much of a pussy you are. I've done shite that people have called nefarious but that was hyperbole (the only two people that have said this were massive pussies).

I agree, but forgiveness does not mean trust is restored. If you do something to break trust, that person may not fully trust again and the relationship is tainted/falls apart.

I once typed a rambling post on the OT without using any capitalizations.

There is a lot that isn’t forgivable. Pedophiles or really any child abuse, torturing, abduction, rape to name a few.

All you can do is forgive yourself. Anything more than that is not up to you - it is up to the person you hurt and they have that choice if they want to forgive you or not.

I do think that by not forgiving someone that this ends up hurting the person who was hurt initially more than it hurts the person who did the act(s) that caused the hurt and pain.

Only to myself, nothing that anyone else hasn’t forgiven. But regret eats at me constantly.

Physically hurt them? Financially hurt them? Emotionally abused them? Murdered their parents? There’s a lot of ways your general comments can go.

You are right - I try not to think about those kind of things - and was subconsciously hoping the OP hadn’t partook on those types of things - and murder of course.
