An EE friend asked if I had told P that I forgive her. I said that seems presumptuous or arrogant.
Not really. Forgiveness should be freely given when you are truly in that space. When I told DXW last Fall in our first phone conversation in years that I forgave her and that we all make mistakes. Immediately she softened up and became more responsive. From there and on, our interactions became much more easier. Food for thought, my dear Stubborn.
