It should be, but I have this sister...
Have you ever heard the expression "Bury the hatchet with the handle sticking out?" Well, that's her. Every argument we have has started with her complaints about me from high school forward. I'm 51 years old. That's a lot of things I've done wrong.
I don't do that any more. I have a policy that if I offend you in any way, or you think I owe you an apology, you have 24 hours to air it, after that, I don't want to hear it. I also extend the same courtesy. If they can't drop it after that, I tell them they need to talk it over with a therapist because they've gone past my time limit.Like (2)

I guess so. So people can move on. But when everything's cooled down, important things should be dealt with and not totally forgotten if people want things really solved. :)

Possibly. But you'll know the difference once forgiven to each other through intuition whether something seems a lurk in the back of your mind or know it that it feels right and relief.

Most of the time, yes. There have been times I've experienced, where it needed to be talked through still, just so both sides understand what happened...why...and how to not let it happen again. Depends on the situation

the offender has not right to have their apology accepted especially if real harm and trauma was done. it may take years to come to terms. No never forgotten, i doubt of trur forgiveness is ever given. there will be triggers that invigorate the memory. As in child sex abuse the memory may lay dormant for years then one day one time a big flash of memory twists the soul and no never dropped. we may try and vow to have no resentment living in our heads but, truly once the human mind is envaded with a trauma the hard drive stores it for life

No...Just because someone has forgive someone doesn't mean the wound is healed. For instance if someone cheats, and is "forgiven", that doesn't mean the topic will never be broached again.

Depends...if you were wrong it sometimes means you agree that you need to go back and fix what you were apologizing for.

It should be. Otherwise the person who accepted the apology wasn't sincere

Not always true. Depending on how the wronged person stores this slighting, or upset, it might be something that will crop up over and over.. either as a reminder, or as something they need reassurance for. Everyone will deal with it differently.

there is an art of everythin...
art of criticizing .. art of accepting criticism...
art of apologizing...art of accepting apologies..
hard work when it comes to relationships...
but love is the binding force...you forget and forgive easily...if love exists..and you strive hard to maintain it...
and before that you have to understand "what is love"
