    I don't hold grudges, per se, but if you do something and I loose respect for you, then I have no time for you ever in my life again.

    With a couple of my xps, I should hold grudges, but honestly, I'm way further along on my life from when I was with them to even bother about holding a grudge, I have no respect for them and in some cases their families. To some, they believe I should hold a grudge, but it isn't in my emotional well-being to hold on to that negative emotion. It has taken a LONG time for me to get to this place in my life, a lot of hard work, tears, frustration, illness, but I am glad I am now where I am and not the person I was when it was easy to hold a grudge, and hold it for a very long time.

    I'm the same. I held onto a few grudges for years when I was younger, but there came a point where I had to let go because I was only hurting myself. However I would never forgive those people or attempt to forge a relationship with them because what they did to me reveals a lot about their character, and I do not want to make the same mistakes twice.
