Your mate screws up. Can your forgiveness be bought and at what cost?

My forgiveness definitely can't be bought. It has to be earned. He would have to show me that I can trust him again. Without that, there is no relationship to me.

No, it cannot be bought. However, everyone will make a mistake in judgement or choice once in a while and if you truly love your SO, you must be able to discuss the issue and forgive them for the mistake, if it was a mistake. If you cannot discuss the issue, then your relationship is at risk. I lived this for the last dozen years of my failed 24-year marriage. My new SO and I now have a completely honest and open relationship.

Ha! No. I'd seriously be offended if he would go that low! He never really screws up so big that it would take much to forgive so I don't know. If he did do something major to upset me, he would need to make it up to me and we'd need to solve the issue so it doesn't happen again, but buying me stuff will not make me forget. (Now, if he cheated, not shit would help his case. I'd ditch him in the worst way.)

It can't be bought, it has to be earned. As long as we can have a talk and discuss what happened, it should be good.
