i think we can all agree that forgiveness is divine, right? nothing gives me a case of the warm fuzzies quite like forgiving someone who has hurt or wronged me in the past.
BUT
how many times is too many? how many times can you forgive the same person for the same, repeated infraction? how many times is it okay to hurt someone before they write you off?
i’m struggling with this conundrum right now.
there’s this girl, and she used to be one of my best friends. we did everything together. we had lots of great times. then she hurt me really badly. we didn’t speak for awhile. we reconciled. she did it again. we didn’t speak AGAIN for a few months. we reconciled again.
then i found out she was stealing from me.
i cut her out of my life at that point. it’s been almost 8 months. she wants to reconcile, and i just don’t know if i have it in me to forgive her again. i forgave her for talking shit behind my back. i forgave her for trying to cause problems with my boyfriend and i. but stealing? i just don’t know that i can forgive that.
how many times is too many? are some things such that they shouldn’t ever be forgiven?
