The question of forgiving or not forgiving an insult depends on many factors, and generally each of them must be considered individually, in each case. Below we will consider a few particularly important points in this matter, based on which you yourself can give yourself an answer, whether you need to forgive insults or do not need to do this. So, consider these several factors.
Assessment of insults.
Men are known creatures from another planet and it is sometimes difficult for us to understand each other's feelings and motivations. This must always be remembered when you assess how offensive his insult was. After all, sometimes, what burns us, and then badly hurts, the man simply does not notice (or rather does not understand this), for him it's just a minor and not an important phrase or act. In this case, it is necessary to explain to him that his deed (or statement) was insulting and hurt us, but in general in this situation, a loved one can be completely forgiven.
Accident, or habit.
As it is clear from the previous point, what could be offended by a loved one, and not accidentally, but by accident from a misunderstanding and ignorance. This is unpleasant, but it can be forgiven if it does not happen often. But even if after an explanation, that his words or deeds are unacceptable, he continues to insult you. Motivating it by the fact that you are just different and he does not consider his action offensive. Then in this case it is an occasion to reflect on whether you are approaching each other. After all, this is a direct disregard for your feelings and your opinion. After all, even if he does not agree with your point of view, he must respect it.
Should I accept an apology?
After a period of soreness and insults, as a rule, an apology period comes. And seeing repentance in his beautiful eyes, we have a burning desire to believe in him, forgive and forget. The question is whether it should be done? Here it is necessary, first of all, to try to understand whether a loved one has realized what exactly he insulted you, did he understand that it is no longer necessary to do so. After all, sometimes many men ask for forgiveness, without remorse, and as you understand, we just need to understand the reasons, on his part. If we look at this point from a purely practical point of view, then we can conclude that it's better to forgive a loved one for the first time, but if insults and apologies continue, this tells us that there was no understanding of their mistakes, and there's no need to forgive.
The circumstances of the insult.
An important factor in forgiving or not forgiving is the circumstances. After all, sometimes we are not sugar, too, and we can offend or offend our loved ones. This can happen by accident or in the fuse of a quarrel. In this case, one must understand that not all of what he said or did was dictated by his mind, they had feelings. Yes, and you can be part of the blame for the insult, in this case sometimes, even have to take the first step to reconciliation and forgive him.
As we see from the above, forgive or not forgive an insult, depends on the circumstances. Sometimes it should be done, sometimes categorically, no, in any case, it's important that any insult is discussed, you explain that it offended you, and he tried not to do it any more. As they say, you must learn a lesson from your mistakes!
