Why I can never forgive my ex

IT is not a healthy practice to have built-up anger and to hold a grudge for anyone. But this happens sometimes when relationships do not end on a good note and people cannot find it within themselves to forgive their former lovers. Sometimes it’s a process that takes years, as the betrayal was that deep. Sometimes, too, people pledge to go to their graves swearing that will never forgive their exes.

Carl D, 30:

I can’t forgive her because she was cheating, and when I asked her about it she lied and said she didn’t even know the person.

Angela B, 27:

My ex was verbally abusive throughout the relationship and towards the end things got physical. I will never forgive him for that.

Karla J, 28:

My ex got me and two other women pregnant at the same time. I’m not forgiving him for that.

While we were together he was messing around with the mother of his child. Turns out they didn’t actually end the relationship — I learnt my lesson the hard way.

Andre M, 30:

She slept with my father. Of all the people she could cheat on me with, she cheated with my father.

Ryan C, 37:

I can never forgive her for turning my girls (daughters) against me with her lies.

He ended the relationship the day our child was born, and took some of my things when he was leaving.
