When conflicts arise, it can be helpful to try forgiveness as a way to release resentment and heal emotional wounds. Holding onto anger or hurt can create distance, but choosing to forgive - whether it’s yourself or your partner - builds compassion and connection. This doesn’t mean excusing harmful behaviour; it’s about letting go of the emotional weight to create space for understanding and growth.
