If I refused to forgive and see past and move on, I'd be a pretty lonely person. There have been VERY few irrepairable relationships in my life. Most people are worth giving that second look.

Even if they have lied and betrayed you? I understand that most relationships can be salvaged but at what expense to yourself!
There always has to be mutual agreement that things can be put right again but if you feel that the other has caused too much intentional hurt whilst trying to empower you, see it's a double sword when the hurt comes from a therapist. The person whom is teaching us to respect ourself but then they sometimes do not respect us.
