In your opinion, is it necessary for a person to say "i'm sorry, forgive me" for something very wrong they did to you?

If yes, should they just ask forgiveness or they should do anything more, (depending on the situation)?

Do you forgive easily even without being asked to forgive?

When you forgive you forget?

If I'm going to forgive someone, then it's nice to know they're (apparently) sorry beforehand, yes. But that's definitely not to say they'll be forgiven just because they apologised. It completely depends on the situation and how much it hurt, etc.

For me, it's better to show it than to say it.

If it wasn't too harsh then yeah. Otherwise, I'll remember it for a long time but I'll try to not let it affect the relationship I have with that person. i.e., I'll not forget, but that doesn't mean I'm holding a grudge, either.


Btw; I'm talking about pretty big situations here. If I'm not too bothered about what they did then I'll forgive and forget easily.

I hold grudges forever if I don't get an apology. I won't forgive a serious wrong unless I know the person is truly sorry for it. If they are, then yes I will forgive. If not, **** them. I have a memory that never forgets, to paraphrase Roger Daltry.

Nope I dont need to apologize. I'm not a vengeful or grudgy person so if I'm pissed at you chances are low I'll remember it next week.

I personally find it helps to say that, because it gives an opening to talk about the wrong that has been done (both directions)
If we are able to talk about what happened maybe if there's an action to be taken it should be taken to add to the words of forgiveness.

No, I find it hard to forgive. It takes a lot of effort on my part to do so. But I do it anyway.
I never literally forget. But I will not bring it up in an argument and use it as "weapon" and remind them of their wrong doing

the same goes here. i'm not an easily forgiver, especially if i don't get apologies or if i don't see the person realized about the mistake they made.
and yes, i may forgive but never forget.

Yes, I forgive quite easily but I can't say I ever forget. If you decide to forgive someone, there promising that it won't happen again and that they did wrong; not you. I'm not often asked to forgive, I just usally do, I feel sympathy for the person in the wrongs, haha.

It's just courtesy to say sorry when you make a mistake or upset someone. I think it is necessary in any situation but it's only worth it if it's meaningful. There's no point in apologising if you aren't sincere.

I'm a fairly relaxed guy so I do forgive people easily even if they don't say sorry, usually because I can't be doing with the hassle of confrontation. If it's something serious then I'll definitely put more thought into it.

Yes, when I forgive I nearly always forget but I make sure I take note of the situation so I can get an insight into how someone behaves.

I forgive, but I never forget. This way, they don't make me angry again and I won't make the same mistake with anyone else.

I'm the same. And it takes more than someone saying sorry for me to forgive someone, they have to show me they are sorry.

Also, I can't understand people who say they forgive and forget. If someone has screwed you over and hurt you, I don't see how you can just forget that.
