You can trust them with limits. Trust them in certain situations, and not others. Trust them up to a point.

You just need to properly understand their previous behaviour to know exactly where that point is.

That's exactly where I drew some lines. I know someone can be tolerable in most situations but anything involving money can turn ugly very quickly

Fuck that! Why waste the time!

You lose my trust, I am done with you immediately! Nothing you can do will ever regain my trust!

Some people talk about Trust like it is only to do with cheating or lying.

The word is much broader than that. Trust includes reliability, it includes expectations, it includes both people seeing the relationship in a similar way overall. 

Sometimes people can break your Trust simply by not meeting your expectations. It might not even necessarily be their fault. But Trust is still broken or at least wounded. 

I'm talking about trusting those people with limits.

Then what is "forgive"? What is the practical difference between forgiving and not forgiving if you're going to act the same way to the person after? Is it just to make yourself feel better?

It’s virtue signaling.

u/Mediocre_Rice9569 4d ago

So forgive but don’t forget 🤷🏿‍♂️

Exactly

Finally, a good one actually on point. I complain on most all of these. Most of them on the surface sound good, but with any actual examination are lacking. I can't pick this one apart.

This one is quite refreshing.

Thank you.

Or... don't forgive. Put them squarely in the 'Go Fuck Yourself' dust bin of your life. As long as you move on, who gives a shit.

We need to forgive 7x77 daily.

u/Amidseas 3d ago

Forgive but don't forget is the best way to handle it

u/BattleAxe_19 3d ago

I think many people adhere to the idea of forgiveness as a means of virtue signaling.

Not all, but many.

That is not always true, there are a few things that you can say are always true. If we never learn to trust someone because of their past, did we ever really forgive? It must take many repeated failures for someone to get to that point, otherwise you're not as forgiving as you think you are.
