Forgiveness involves a level of forgeting if not, the act that you're attempting to forgive will always linger and be brought back up

I agree. Forgiveness is not for the benefit of the person who did you wrong, it is for your own sake, to clear your mind of pain, anger, and fear. Watchful remembrance is how you protect yourself from being subject to their wrongdoing again.

I agree to some extend and disagree to some. If we flip some word I belive it will be complete. We need to ex-change word naive and wise to make it almost perfect. Life is to small to carry grudge and continue. If you cannot forgive and forget you continue to ruin your own life it doesnot affect the other person

I think to truly forgive means to forget so that they will feel completely forgiven and you won't be bringing it up. There is too much potential hurt if one just forgives and doesn't forget as well. And my forget I just mean that you don't have it in the front of your mind reading to use it against them. It was done, they are sorry, you have both moved on. You each start back ojn square one now.

It takes so much energy to carry a grudge. I talk from personal experience. There was an "in law" that I could not stand and actually broke the family apart while they were married. When I finally let that animosity go, it really was a relief both physical and mental.

what does it mean to forgive and not forget? does it mean to stay with the ones who has wronged you? forgive them but also forget about them? HELP

That would make almost every wife stupid. I disagree. He must have been a bachelor.
