8 Things You Should Forgive Him For And 8 You Should Never

There are things in life that we must forgive so that we can live happy, so that we can enjoy a peaceful life. They are the things we forgive so that our relationship can continue, grow and last. They are the things that every couple goes through, and they are the things that make us human. On the other hand, there are things that we should never forgive because the impact they have on us will live with us forever. It doesn't mean that you should let it define you as a person. You can still let go and move on, but you don't have to forgive it happened you just need to accept that it did and decide for yourself what you want to do moving forward.

Don't feel pressured to forgive things that the man you are with or were with has done because everyone tells you that you should or because you think it's the right thing to so.
