I've been pretty tolerant when it comes to the whole forgiving aspect in my friendships & relationships. I get it, I'm supposed to be understanding and forgiving... however, I'm not anyone's bitch. I've been very patient with the people I care about, but I refuse to be dragged down the path of stupidity and blatant ignorance.
Sometimes we have to demand more from people, we have to raise the bar because I know sometimes we simply lower the bar because we feel that maybe we are a bit too hard on our loved ones... I wish I could lower the bar or keep it at its present position, however I can't. I've simply had enough, and I'm honest enough with myself to admit that I can no longer allow certain aspects to slide.
Either leave the past in the past... or get out. I won't be dragged by the past anymore, I refuse to live in it or be judged based upon it. If any aspect is thrown in my face, then I'll simply remove myself from that individual's life. It's not about forgiveness or trying to find middle ground... its simply about what I want in my life and what I don't want in my life.
