Cures for Anger & Unforgiveness...what's your advice? (15)
EarthAngelinLove: It seems with any relationship, friend, family, or spouse that misunderstandings can often result in anger & unforgiveness.
If you've approached the person whom you've hurt and asked for his/her forgiveness, tried all the avenues you can think of to mend the relationship, and he/she appears to stay in a "state of anger & unforgiveness", would you take just let it go then..and hope that time "heals all wounds"...or what?
What can someone do, when they've geniunely tried to heal a wound with a Loved One..be it friend, family member, or spouse?
Do we all not need forgiveness from someone at some point in our lives whom we've injured..even if by mistake?
I hope my will always be willing to forgive others, cause we all hurt others even if by accident

We make our amends for us,non of our business what another does with them.
If another "CHOOSES" to stay pissed off, it is about them and not us..
"Some", are just pissed off at the world..

Yeh I would let it go, hopefully in time that person will forgive you.... you have done all you can to make amends, and there is nothing more you can do unfortunately!
Every one of us need to be able to forgive in order to expect forgiveness from others!

A genuine apology should be taken at face value....No sense holding grudges....If you an't accept the apology then you are the one at fault....But if you throw out accusations and these are found unwarranted then you should have the decency to retract them the same way the were presented....JMO.....

I agree. I had a 30+ year friendship which unravelled because I unknowingly, unintentionally hurt my friend while we were both going through separation/divorces. She lives in Canada and I'm here, and she tried to reach me but I wasn't there for her. She sent me an email full of accusations and vitriol, which I responded to. I asked for her forgiveness, tried phoning to speak to her but she refused. She blocked me from her email, facebook etc. and when I tried phoning, she put the phone down. After months of this I gave up... It's been over 2 years now, and I'm sad, but I have to respect her decision and let her go. I agree with that saying about how some people come into your life for a reason, a season, or for a lifetime.

At times we are the teacher, at others the student..
I suppose on rare occasions, we can be both..

I am only responsible for my side of the Street!
Others have to keep their own side clean!
If I hurt someone and make amends,it's up to them what they do with it.
Can't force it on them.

A true friend or partner would never take something to heart, only if there was some truth would it have more effect. What would it take to really effect you ,and if it was wrong would you seriously lost someone because of that! I would not.

Thank you everyone who voiced their opinions, I've not had the opportunity to come to CS until now...
Leo, you know exactly what I'm going through, the special person in my life will not even call..I'm an deeply hurt, but still Love this person very much.
Perhaps someday, he/she will pick up the phone and want me back into his/her life again.
Thank you for your time in sharing your opinion & experience.
