Can you really forgive and forget when it comes to a second chance? If you can't forget then you can't forgive and that's why second chances are not always possible.

To be honest with you, there are some things that a person could do that would allow me to forgive them. If we stay together, I may never bring them up again, but I will never forget them.
On the other hand, there are some things I will forgive them for and forget them.
Do you need more elaboration? Or shall this suffice?

To truly forgive.. you have to let it go... LOL.. we are saying the same thing, but in a different way... Men are from Mars... Women from Venus... ( good read BTW )

Being that you made the statement men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Do you think men and women forgive differently?

I may forgive if it wasn't an automatic deal-breaker, but whatever they did will always loom around in the back of my mind.

To forgive is to let it go! I am not convinced that actually happens... Actions speak louder than words!

I just think the mind and heart does what it wants to when it comes to forgiveness.

I really don't think that second chances will work. Been there and done that.
Think about why you broke up in the first place. Most likely it was differences in personality. You may think that you (or she) can change that, but it is almost impossible to change your very nature. You may think that you have changed that, but it's still there just dying to get out and that builds up resentment over time. You are you and she is herself. If you didn't get along the first time, chances are that you will not make it work the 2-3-4 th times.

While many people claim to be able to forgive and forget, there is the one little curse which hangs over our heads called memory which constantly reminds us, whenever certain elements line up, of the egregiousness in question which brings back all those horrific feelings.
when you come to this juncture one thing you must always keep in mind is "The people that cannot forgive others break the bridge over which they must pass themselves; for every person has need to be forgiven."
All I can say is, Lack of forgiveness is like holding on to a burning coal despite the hurt in the hopes that it is burning and hurting someone else.
The real question here is can we Forgive and Forget or most of us just Rebuke and Remember?
