How to forgive someone?


Recommended Posts

Hello friends,

 

I had a breakup with my gf about 10 months ago.we were in relationship for about 4 years.But the way she ended all things was very bad.So i am having lot of grudge for her and i am having lot of anger inside me for her and her husband.She sometimes try to contact me.I want to know that why she contacts me even though i don't reply her? is it any feeling of guilt inside her or she is just passing time?..Also what should i do to let her go from my mind...?..should i forgive her?..if yes then how to forgive her when my mind is bubbling with anger for her...

Ohhhhh.

I did that in my first marriage, I loved my ex so I rebounded *this is why I am harsh on re bounders* into a marriage. So anyway that failed for reasons of its own, But my ex (one of my first boyfriends) he ended up moving on too and getting married to someone else...

 

ANYWAY what am I getting at? Ok what I am trying to say is that...she is married. She made a choice. You shouldn't have an affair it will only hurt both of you. You should not contact her nor should you allow her to speak to you while she's with her husband..bad karma...

 

The reason why she is contacting you is because she is still in love with you and she married her rebound, that is all.

Should you forgive her? Well yes if you are the one who broke up with her and broke her heart...then in that case you should show mercy because you are the one that broke her heart and sent her rebounding in the first place.

But that doesn't mean you get back together.

If she is worth waiting for, wait until she gets a divorce.

Oh I should also ad that my first marriage failed, so did his, but then I re-married for a second time and it was not to him! And he moved on also. And even though I have a soft spot for the guy big time, he is not my type whatsoever!! It's funny how life changes you. I would not date him now even though I am single again. And he wouldn't date me either. If it's broken leave it broken sometimes...

You won't be able to let go of her whilst you're still wondering why this or that happened.

 

Essentially it's like flicking a switch, it is possible to decide to not think about her/the past relationship again, you just need to stay strong and silently commit yourself to rechannelling any thoughts which come to mind.

 

Whether you choose to forgive her in the future is up to you but it won't happen until the anger has subsided, and your feelings about her are neutral.

The emotion of hate will tie you to her.

 

The opposite of love is not hate, but rather it's indifference.

 

It's easier said then done, but in order to move in to the indifference stage, forgiveness will help you. Forgive her, not for any other reason than it will help you. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, it simply means you no longer will dwell upon it and that it doesn't define your emotions. Try to start by replacing a positive thought with every negative thought you have of her.

You're smart for not allowing her contact. You don't need to forgive anyone you don't want to forgive. You get to decide how much of your mind space and emotional energy you want to give someone, and when you're tired enough of what it costs you to do that, you'll move your focus onto creating the kind of future YOU want.

 

When you choose to focus on your building own life, you won't have the room or the time to spend on a ghost. It's a decision.

Lord Voldemort,

 

There are a few ways you can approach this but the best one I found was to positively say to yourself every day for about 1-2 weeks is "I release the need to care about (insert name here) anymore". Affirmations are a wonderful way to reprogramme your subconscious and conscious minds. Think about it like this, when someone has lied and people know the person is lying the liar usually tells the same story over and over again because they truly believe it. The more you tell yourself things the more you'll believe them! Give it a try and see how it goes bud

Funny, this is what my ex is doing right now. She has been lying to our mutual friends and her family about why she broke up with me. Classic case of GIGS but she's telling people that I took her for granted...and I'm sure she's now convinced herself of this.

now i don't keep wondering that why all the stuff happened.. but i have so much anger inside me which keeps me redirecting to her... i want to erase her completely out of my life... my feelings can never be neutral for her.... i want to forget her but i am not getting how to do that..

Losing hope for what? That you will be able to let go of the anger?

 

Try to focus on something else. Everytime you have a thought of her, purposely do another action. One that is not so much fun --- like clean a room, or go for a walk, whatever. And each time, even if you just finished, do it again when you think of her again. You just need to re-program your mind.

No one said it would be easy....changing mindsets or behavior is one of the most difficult things to do. I found it helpful to limit my thinking to 1/2 hr a day -- to just give into for a short time. And then, later in the day when I would start to think about it again, force myself to get up and do something - anything -- a change of scene, exercise, errands - anything that made my mind focus on me and my life, not "our" time together.

 

Good luck -- I truly mean that.
