    I just dont understand why didnt my ex boyfriend after 2years of us being together and we were bestfriend for about 3years couldnt forgive me for cheating on him i really didnt mean to hurt him. If god can forgive us for all the things we do how come a sinner cant forgive a sinner?
    we all make mistakes we were made like this!
    i gave him everything i loved him he was my everything i just cant go on with out him!!!

    he probably just loved you so much and it hurt him so bad that you would do a thing like that to him. Unfortunatly he's the only one who can decide if he still wants to be friends with you.

    Maybe cause it wasnt really love or the hurt was just too much and you couldnt get over it. Its a personal question in a personal circumstance.

    have you ever heard of the term love hate? can a love be so great that it turns it to hate? i mean my friend back stabbed me i told him to fuck off and just got on with my life to some extent we can all manage with our emotions when rationality is still in place. But what if you have devoted your time to that one person? your partner, your sister or brother, or maybe to god? sacrifice, time sometimes even years, love, money, your whole agenda is revolving around that one person.Suddenly they prefer someone else or disgraced your life. Now how wud you react to that? would you be in denail? sometimes people cant accept the truth....truth hurts. In the jewism and muslim religeon it says if you want your revenge you can have it, but if your strong enough its better to forgive." He took the best years of my youth away!" does this sound familiar? I bet it does, in my opinion many people replay only the bad memories lived with that person but have you sat down and actually scaled the good and the bad things this person made you go through? Have you ever considered writting a diary of the positive things you get out of your relationships. Such as values, moralities, learnt a new culture. Even the smallest lime can be squeezed:-) open your eyes and follow my advice. If you are happy with the invironment you might be able to open up and overcome certain insecurities.

    because when we love someone they earn our trust and they begin to become one with us. When they betray that trust it just hurts you that much more because you both took the time to build it. With a stranger if they hurt you, it doesn't take so long to forgive because you weren't expecting them to be completely honest and faithfull, as you would with someone you love.
