Pain And Forgiveness
And whenever we are hurt, we usually see ourselves as innocent victims. Someone has done us an injustice, and now we're left alone to pick up the pieces. While it's true that we may be victims, we are not helpless victims. We can choose how to respond. We can choose to be angry, self righteous, bitter, or resentful. Or we can choose to rise above the negativity, forgive whoever hurt us, love them, and move forward

But your story or example of the couple did remind me of my own relationship with my partner and other relationships I've had where if I am hurt inside or feel triggered or just in a reactionary mode, I can quite easily react, whether it's doing something or saying something, and it's almost as if even right before I do it, I know in my head this isn't going to end well or I don't actually want to do this, but it's a reaction and thus it happens before I can change my mind and it creates pain for me, it creates pain for the person that I'm reacting to, whether it's a romantic relationship or even interaction at work or something other than that
