Another hypothetical situation (22)
I think forgiveness is something you take for yourself, not something you generously bestow on someone else.
For me, forgiveness is about having some understanding of the horrible thing that someone did; it dissipates the extreme emotions I may be experiencing and enables me to find my own peace.
That's different from putting my head in lion's jaws. Rebuilding trust would be a two (or more) way thing and for me the other parties would need to demonstrate they were willing and able to deconstruct the scenario. I'd also have to be willing and able to evaluate my own contribution with them.
One difficulty I can foresee about not cutting contact, is the injured party may always have the upper hand if they take the higher moral ground route. That kind of power imbalance may be just as unhealthy as abusing one's power by cheating.
