[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686069, member: 20267"] Talk is cheap. And us addicts are VERY good at manipulating people. Even I, a junkie myself, couldn't tell you when another addict is being real, or fake. Probably because we may actually believe what we are saying, at the time we say it. But, talk is very cheap. Forgive and forget is not a path to true healing. The things we do that are considered "bad" or "wrong" precisely because it caused suffering to others. Unnecessary suffering. It is important, albeit difficult, to face those people who's throats we stepped on for our own gratification. It is something that needs to stick. And pretending like nothing ever happened only reinforces bad or hurtful behavior. Forgiveness, like trust, is earned. If he is unwilling to even apologize for his actions, or even just acknowledge them, it is very unlikely that he is being genuine with you. [/QUOTE]
