Should I Forgive My Ex?

Forgiveness is divine. That's how the saying goes. Really there is a lot of peace that goes along with forgiveness and it has healing powers not only for the person who has been forgiven but also the one who offers forgiveness. It's definitely worth exploring if you're the one wondering: "Should I forgive my ex?"

While relationships aren't exactly ever easy and they do require some degree of work in order to be truly successful, many people make them much more difficult than they have to be.

That might be partly due to human nature. But a lot of it is the old "Mars and Venus" battle between men and women that's been going on for centuries – or perhaps longer than that.

But here are a few important things to keep in mind when it comes to forgiveness in relationships – even after they've ended.

1) Forgiveness does more good things for you than holding on to that anger does bad things for your ex. In other words, it will do you a world of good to let go of the anger that you're keeping bottled up inside at the moment.

2) Forgiving someone is not the same as forgetting. You can forgive your ex for what he or she did without forgetting all about it. You're not giving them a get out jail free card or anything along those lines. But, you might be giving yourself one. It's surprising just how much energy it takes to hold on to bitterness and anger.

3) Lack of forgiveness ties you to a person. Do you want to be bound to your ex anymore? Are you ready to let go of your ex? Sometimes, hanging on to that anger is an attempt to hang on to the person it represents and what you really want most is to get your ex back. You're the only one who can decide if that's the right call for you to make.

4) Are you ready to move on with life without that anger, pain, and bitterness weighing you down? For some people, bitterness and anger are lines of defense. Are you ready to let the walls down and open up your heart all over again?

The most important thing to remember is that forgiveness isn't only about you and the person being forgiven. It impacts every aspect of your life as well as the people you interact with daily. There's a reason it's considered DIVINE.

But, should you forgive your ex?

No matter what your ex has said or done in the past; it's in the past. Forgiving your ex doesn't mean you're going to pick up where things left off. It doesn't mean you're going to give your ex a second chance. But it can mean that you can clear the air between you once and for all and enjoy the good memories you made together and no longer be ruled by the bad ones.

Decisions like these are difficult to make. It's not a decision you want to make lightly. If you've been toying around with the idea of getting back together with your ex though it's something you need to decide about with a clear mind.
