Thanks for all your suggestions!
Jax: The problem is that the person did something that really changed my life. The person doesn’t think that what they did was wrong and there really is no way to forgive them. The only reason they asked for forgiveness was because they want to keep a relationship with me. It’s not someone who I can completely shut out of my life so it’s kind of hard.And there is plenty of good in the person but what they did was much worse than anything good they have to them.
an open book: Lying is definetely not a good idea but the truth is that I really don’t want to forgive them and anyone in my situation would say the same. I don’t really have a great relationship with the person and it’s not that I am being mean- in truth, what they did has caused a lot of hardships in my life so I don’t know if I will ever be able to forgive them. As to the reason why they did what they did- there is absolutely no valid excuse in the world for it and even if I tried, I would not be able to put myself in their place. They aren’t really sorry and no they didn’t apologize; it was more of a “can you forgive me so that I don’t look so bad” kind of thing. They don’t think that what they did was wrong so they aren’t sorry about it.
