If I feel betrayed by someone, I have a very difficult time giving that person my trust back. The relationship will never be the same. I may decided to keep the relationship to some degree with caution..
Others I just let go.
I guess I am not worried about the word forgiveness. I work on not keeping a grudge (if you want to call that forgiveness). I understand that person could be harmful to me in the future. With their actions - I could learn to to let them close again.
If I have done something to another person that I am ashamed of, I have apologized for bad behavior on my part - those that know me well, know I'm a sincere person. At the same time I understand that they may never feel that same way about me again. If this person is very important to me, I will work to regain/re-establish the relationship.
