Should I forgive or not?

Question

Recently I and a couple (2) of female friends went to bar for a good time. Now we had beer but were not drunk. We were having a good time until I was punched by X (one of the girls). I had my arm around X and Y (the other girl) went to the restroom. We were laughing when all of a sudden you hear a slap. X got slapped in the @ss. She thought it was me and punched me. However Y grabbed X and told her she was the one who slapped her in the @ss. I was hurt because I have never disrespect X in any way, plus she loosened a tooth. I thought our trust was unconditional. I took off and X came after but I was pissed. She has try to call me but I don’t answer. Should I forgive or what?

Answer 1

you should talk to her and then make your decision. i would forgive her because she was probably shocked and just punched. she probably didn't think you would do that and punched because you knew not to do that.

Answer 2

Yes but if your tooth is messed up I'd make her pay to fix it.

Answer 3

honest mistake I guess. I would forgive her.  same thing happened to me.  

Answer 4

If you would like to destroy that friendship and hold onto resentment, thus making you bitter and mean, then do not forgive.  If you want to restore a friendship, show yourself to be kind, magnanimous and feel better about yourself and your friend, you should forgive.

In other words, what do you lose by not forgiving and what do you gain by forgiving?

Answer 5

It won't bother her but it will bother you so forgive & forget !

Answer 9

In that story, you forgot to tell us that you work out 4x a day (boxing)  

Answer 10

Sounds like an algebra problem.

Life's to short to feud with friends. Get together again, have a couple of beers, talk about it and laugh it off.

Answer 11

i dunno thats a though one, she obvisously has some inscurities if she punched you for thinking you slapped her ***. I personally wouldn't forgive

Answer 12

definately. keep your friends close and your enemies closer. it was just a mistake honey and everyone makes them. shes tried to reach out to you so its your turn to reach out to her. believe me its not worth losing a good friend. i had something similar happen she said something happened i didnt believe her. so i didnt talk to her for a week she kept reaching out to me i ignored her. then the guilty party admitted what they done. yes i was big enough to go apologize to her and told her i found out she told me the truth anyway and begged her to forgive me and be my friend .again. we also were  in a bar i was drunk she was not. but it taught me a lesson because the one i took up for i knew for 28 years and to think it could happen was beneath them when they admitted what they done i realized i didnt know anyone i still have my friend and the other person is my friend also but i see them in a different lite now and we socialize seperate times.

Answer 13

Yes, definitely. Just talk to her. She was just protecting herself, like all women should do. Just tell her that you respect her a lot more than that and you would never do that to her. It was just a reaction and she was only protecting herself. It's not a huge deal.

Answer 14

wow the one who really needs to say sorry is her. bcuz she is the one that punched u! when u didnt do anything

so if she trys calling u then pick up to see what she wants!

im sure shes calling to apologize and if not tell her what u think
