views on forgiveness? on apologies?
FOR THE SAKE of transparency, i’m going to go ahead & answer this out of character because, more than likely, she’d reply to this question with bullshit. isolating the incident with her husband, i’d say she’s a “reasonably” forgiving person. she’s one to sulk a bit, if only to prove a point, & she very deliberately holds a grudge but she eventually gets over it. by no means is it easy for her -- it’s certainly something she’s improved upon over the years. however, her forgiveness rarely comes without repercussion. in an effort to help herself feel less slighted by whatever hurt her, she devises her revenge. it’s never something that makes itself apparent right away. someone could apologize to her & she’d vocally forgive them, but two months later she’s either ruined your marriage, spread a vicious rumor or -- in previous cases -- she’d harm herself & blame it on whoever had offended her months ago. only then does she feel as if she’s truly forgiven the other person because the scale has been evened -- at least in her opinion. as for apologies, she’s very skilled at lying & giving a convincing apology. quite frequently does she feel sorry, but never sorry enough to genuinely serve an apology. any genuine apology she’s ever told has grated at her nerves quite a bit because the power dynamic doesn’t work in her favor.
