From my experience and from the women I know or have known in my life. Women have a larger capacity for forgiveness than men. Not overall, because a lot of women do hold grudges. But what ever grudges I've held, that both women and men have known about. Overwhelmingly..more women have told me to let it go, and the men have been like nah fuck dat.
For the women that have forgiven me, it seems like they hold the bond higher than the action that made them upset..its like a chicken vs egg thing. Does that sentiment exist cause it's there or is it there because it exist?
