i think it depends, it can vary from some minutes, to few days or never, for example if i fight with my brother, it gets better in minutes, some more serious concepts can go to days and in the end ending up forgiving, and in worst cases maybe people won't ever forgive which goes forever.

it will be funny if i don't forgive someone who I won't see him anytime. but it is the case and you are right.

» Answer from Bruce Horst Answer given 22 days 12 hours ago.
I think it largely depends on if the offending person is actually sorry for his or her actions, and if that person stops doing the offending actions.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. I can make a choice to forgive someone yet still feel wounded or upset. Sometimes it takes a long time for the emotions to line up with what I chose to do. Sometimes even though I've forgiven someone, I still don't actually trust them and the relationship never really recovers. I think that's where the other person's actions come into play. If they change, forgiveness happens much more quickly.

you are extremely right. i think misunderstanding plays an important role in such circumstances. I am sure if i knew English language and culture adequately i could have much more control over what happens in my relationship with my friends.

I can only forgive someone if I feel they are truly sorry for what they have done and are highly unlikely to do it again. Then again, I see forgiveness as a fairly major thing, and something far removed from just "getting over" a disagreement or shrugging off someone else's bad behavior.
