    Un.

    Nope.

    Could be.

    All.

    Because it isn't about them, really.

    Hello Rosie:

    If I forgive, I forgive for ME.  I hold NO expectations of the forgivee.

    I don't forgive excon. I figure if someone screws me badly once there is nothing to stop that person from doing it again. I do not provide them with a second chance . I know. I'm a tough old dame. Thank you for your reply my friend! :)

    Me too neither MrWitch. I don't forgive. Once someone screws me badly I have no reason to believe it won't happen again. I do not give them that opportunity. Once trust is gone it's gone. No do-overs. No second chances.  I'm a tough old dame I guess but that's the way it is..uh huh, uh huh! Thank you for your reply!  :)
