Very interesting topic btw, I think I would also find it a challenging situation. Forgiveness has always been too vague a concept for me, even when I was in church. Ultimately the question of "have I forgiven someone" doesn't mean anything, what means something is what my actions going forward are going to be. If I feel someone has regained my trust that doesn't mean I've forgiven them, it means they've demonstrated they can act differently to meet whatever criteria I feel is meaningful. EDIT: I guess is that the definition of forgiveness for some? Maybe I'm just stuck on the God kind of forgiveness.

Forgiveness made more sense to me in terms of God and humanity than it ever did in terms of people to each other.

I'd find this situation very challenging.
