Unforgiven!

She could have forgiven him for the slap, only if he ran to her and took her in his arms when she fell on the floor.

Yes, she would have forgiven him for it if he had ran to her... maybe she would never forget it. But she definitely would have forgiven him had he shown some regret.

You cannot imagine how any apologitic gesture from men touches us deep inside!

Am not in her shoes to judge really, but why not forgive it? And I do agree with mermaid, about the apology and showing regret thing.

It's interesting the way almost all ladies perceive such case as the ultimate form of abuse and as the absolute unforgiven ... Isn't calling names an abuse as well, and equally humiliating? And why in so many cases would women allow their partners to emotionally abuse them over and over again and maybe for years, while the physical thing is the absolutely forbidden line that would wake the tigress in them?
I would say a well regretted slap once in a lifetime is really nothing compared to constantly damaging and trashing someone emotionally. These are really difficult to erase marks.
I'm not saying that it is ok to do or a must forgive, it depends on a lot of situation related things, but what I say is that it is not the worst all the time.

Thanks for the sharing Meto.
I love your couple of lines stories.

It's never O.K. to slap or strike or in any way physically harm a female. If you do, you don't deserve forgiveness, you deserve death. We men have always been more physically powerful and have used that power to intimidate and control women forever but it's totally unacceptable. Men who hurt women and then apologize make me sick. Learn some control, you big sissy! In the mean time stay away from whomever you harmed until you've learned a little more about what it means to be a man.
