Do you hold a grudge?

[zoomer]

Do you hold a grudge? Like stay mad at something that happened a while ago? Or do you forget about it and get over things easily?

[zoomer]

I hold grudges usually... with people I usually hold grudges but with animals I do not.

I do sometimes. I used to all the time. When I realized that was something I had inherited from my father, I was determined to expunge that trait. I've done a fair job, I think.

Usually, yes. If that person makes a heart-felt apology, I respect that, and I think it takes a stronger person to say sorry sincerely to me than to not do something hurtful towards me in the first place.

Other than that, I can hold life-long grudges.

[BC_MoM]

Sometimes - but I try not to.

[Zippy]

Sometimes I do but it takes to much energy to hold a grudge for long.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Sometimes I do, but very rarely.

[lwds]

Depends.

[k9krazee]

No, I tend to forgive and forget very easily, life is too short to hold grudges!

[Twisterdog]

Oh, I try not to. I think for the most part I don't, but once in a while there is some truly nasty person (like my sister) who repeatedly does horrible things, and have to admit ... I hold a lot of resentment towards her.

I can forgive, but don't always forget. I try not to hold grudges, but sometimes (depending on how deep the wound is) it takes a long time to forgive. My mom hurt me and my family and it took me years to forgive her, I've never forgotten it though and I know our relationship will never be the same.

There is one family (yes a whole family) that said some very hurtful things to both Justin and me. Not one of them has asked for forgiveness (and they know it's hurtful because Justin's mom said something to them about it), yet every time we see them they continue to say those things. I have not forgiven them yet. We try to avoid seeing them.
