I'm really not sure that we can meet each other's needs - probably not at the moment.
I have always forgiven easily - We all make mistakes - I've made some great ones. If not for forgiveness we would all go around despising each other for the imperfections. We can take joy in other's imperfections and our own.
But - I don't understand how forgiveness works if the other person will not stop hurting you.
Thanks for the rewording of re-building trust thing. I have thought about trying to see what her idea is - she has just said, "I don't know" in the past with things like this.
Thanks Peter
