It wasn't the strain and stress of having to be a single parent for Sharon, the wife of an army pilot and mother of two that tore her marriage apart -- it was the fact that her husband returned from Iraq a "changed man."
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
Its very hard for me to forgive people. I hold grudges for a long time. Esp when I have been taken advantage of or anyone close to me. Even if that person who did the wrong says sorry, etc, I still look at them like they are full of crap and I have little respect for them. Part of me feels bad but I just shrug it off. Even when it turns out to be true, I think to myself, serves them right. I dont do this to everyone, its just certain people I suppose.

I'm the same exact way. It takes a lot to break my trust, but once someone does, it's hard for me to get over it and see the person in a good light ever again. I hate holding grudges, and it's something I need to work on, but sometimes when people screw you over so badly, but can't help it.
Its terrible to live with all that anger in your heart. Everyone deserves a second and sometimes third chance because none of us are perfect. Im sure that you have broken trust in others as well. We all have and we all will again. All we can do is learn from our mistakes. What you said is exactly what I dislike the most about people in general. Here is an example of what I mean. In school say you were the trouble maker or you slept around alot. You grow up and learn from the life you once had and become a well adjusted adult with a marriage and children and even a great career. When you see people you used to know they will never look at you as you are now. All they will see is what you once were. This is sad that so many people do this. We all change as we grow and we all learn and become better (most of us that is) Try to remember that when things like this happen instead of assuming the worst.
OP here, I see what your saying and whats worse,Im a preachers daughter. Maybe I have higher standards but the person im mainly talking about is and adult. Not a child, not a teenager. I see this 5 days a week everyday, 8 hrs a day. Tried to help as others have but when your lied too and etc, it makes it hard. You cant help no one that doesnt want to be helped, esp a habitual liar. An adult should know better and learn from thier mistakes. Some people never do. Sorry you dislike someone who thinks like me but in a way, your kind of doing the same thing I am if you think about it. And once I say Im sorry, I truly am, not just to smooth things over for the time being. But thanks for you input.
Oh OP here again. Im not angry, I try not to carry the anger with people I really dont care much for. Like I said, I shrug it off, I just have no sympathy for them anymore. Kind of like the little boy who cried wolf. But if I remember correctly, he learned his lesson.
i wrote the seconf comment and you got me all wrong, I wasnt saying I dont like you..I dont even know you. I was saying that none of us are perfect and holding grudges only hurt you. I get what you mean about the every day all day same kind of person. I am dealing with one of those too. I try so hard to tell myself the same thing I told you and your right it is very hard. All you can do is try but after so many chances yes you are right the chances do run out. I apologize if it seemed like I was chastising you for feeling that way
I am the same way, except I write people off so quickly and it sucks cause I can't help if but yea I do ...this even appplys with family.
OP here. No you werent, its all good. :)
I cut people off pretty easily. I have too much going on in my day to worry about the anger and drama some people bring to my life.
You are not the only one out there. I have been holding one against two people after how long they lied to Dh and I. I hold one against the girl because she has done nothing but hurt my feelings. After the lies I never want them in my house again or really talk to again or anything.
Heck I still hold a grudge against blonde girls because one stole my boyfriend in High school many moons ago. Not just her all blondes.
Hey 11:46, im the OP, thanks for making me laugh, I dont feel so awful now. LOL
Girl I am the SAME way! But, Once someone breaks my trust or manages to really piss me off (I mean REALLY REALLY piss me off), they may as well be dead to me because I'll cut them out of my life completely. Once someone manages to make me that mad or make me question their character that much I can never look at them in the same light ever again. I think it's a good thing to just cut people off if you can. That way you aren't constantly reminded of them and their behavior and you can forgive them in your own way and go on with your life. Every person I have cut off I have never lost ANY sleep over. We are better off just not being friends...and I have plenty of other friends that I CAN trust.
