But can it be forgiven? Most of the time, I'd like to think so... But somethings, I don't believe should be forgiven. No, let me rephrase that. Should not be forgotten. If someone has proved to you, over and over again, that they'll hurt you, should you keep letting them back in? I think that's some kind of sadistic torture to inflict on ones self. Almost like punishing yourself for something you think you did wrong. Well, let me tell you. self preservation is important. As is your own happiness. Let go of your past... Move on in life and smile every day. Forgive, but never forget.

Sound advice. Now the question becomes whether or not you are aware enough to see yourself in the same situation, and strong enough to take your own advice. Will you keep letting him in to hurt you, or finally heed your self-preservation instincts?
