do you hold the grudge against him?
Girls, how much time would you ignore a guy who has hurt you before?
do you hold the grudge against him?
you need to give actual examples.
no one has ever 'hurt' my feelings in a conversation, so I don't know what you mean.
i only stop talking to people if they blow up and have a tantrum, because that indicates they are not capable of having a rational discussion, and why attempts at that, will enrage them further.
people either crate a misunderstanding, in which case, we talk about it.
or they don't respect me, which allows them to do something sh*tty. and I'm done with them. because they don't respect me. not because if one incident.
people have tried to bdisrespect/ insult me, but those are not people I have in my life. I don't ignore them. I just cut them off.
sometimes a person is disrespectful just by virtue of their outlook. in those cases we simply have nothing to do with each other.
ive never ignored someone for saying something. that's retarded.
cheating. if they cheat they are not worthy of my friendship. they could have broken up with me first. there's always a choice. so no.i don't ignore them. they are out.
i dot hold grudges, I make decisions. they can take a while sometimes a lot of deliberation,weighing facts against each other. but I don't ignore just to get back at someone. that's just dumb.
While in your case you've put down what you think you are fully entitled to believe (due to your experiences and situations you've come across in life), the sad fact is that not many from members of your own sex do the same thing...they don't give time to talk about misunderstandings but act in a knee jerk reaction where as guys we get branded for doing something 'wrong' or 'not right' in THEIR eyes. Example: being blocked say on an online dating site simply because you said the wrong thing
In such a case how do you expect the guy to recover from such actions? He can't.
Add into this the juvenile nature of how some women react to mens responses by totally ignoring them without saying why...you can see why so many people in our world are having relationship problems.
Plenty of guys have blocked me because they don't like what I'm saying. because of my views. not because I said anything derogatory towards them.
plenmy have become hyper sensitive. ignored me because they were angry. wanted revenge. wanyed me to feel guilty. WITHOUT letting me explain. just to feel like they have control over me. that's hardly something womewn do.
In anycase I'm sorry but imnot a spokes person for everyone with a vagina. he asked ME what id do. So I told him. what I would do.
Over reacting and cutting someone off, without giving them a chance to explain, is sh*tty. its extremely disrespectful. my advice of how to 'recover' from that, is to cut such people out of your life.
why would you cater to someone who is going to flip out at incidental things.
and of its not incidental then you need to examine YOURE actions. as well as theirs.
still id like an example or several, of what things you are talking about. that Men say, that cause 'women' to react irrationally.
I'd forgive my guy friends for anything, they're really stupid and they're like big brothers...so it's easy to just get over their dumb stuff but my boyfriend...that is a totally different story, I have a mental mini-system that just automatically kicks in, about how to evaluate his behavior!
ex: saying he missed my push up bra :-) lol
Small thing- Ignoring his texts for a few hours and being "busy" when I finally answer.
ex: admitting he has a minor crush on an acquaintance
Medium thing: A couple of week or more or sarcasm and indirect ignoring and cold treatment
ex: talking to aforementioned aquaintance and not acknowledging me first. (I know petty but its a big deal) for me
Big thing: Ignoring him COMPLETELY for month. No contact. No calling, no nothing.
Anything after that than the sincerest of aplogies and correction of behavior will result in total, permanent ignoring... a.k.a he gets dumped.
Luckily, in my situation he didn't do anything else after the "the big thing" so we're good!
If he cheated on me, I wouldn't speak to him until after I've moved on. And once I began to speak to him again, it'd really only be civil. I doubt we could ever be friends again.
If it was small, like unintentionally hurting me in conversation, I'd be over it in a few minutes. If the guy and I are close to each other, I'm not going to hold it over him. I'd wait until we could sit down and talk to each other and just tell him that what he said/did hurt me. I'm not the type of girl who would beat around the bush with feelings.
It just happened now and I figured out what I did wrong, with a friend's help. She's engaged and I harped on semantics instead of wishing her good luck. Typical Aspergerian trait, but that's not an excuse. I think I may have lost a friend over this and I feel very guilty about it.
Don't let the sun go down without reconciling after a small mistake. As for cheating on you, well I'd tell him your relationship with him is over and show him the door.

Well. If it was small, I can almost always get over it. Especially if it was unintentional.
For something bigger: I'm in the situation now. My ex cheated on me, used me etc. Or so he says, even if he's just saying that because he's bitter about the relationship, it's not cool and definitely not acceptable. It would get to the point where I'd be indifferent. I'm not over him completely, but once I am and find someone else, no way in hell would I ever talk to him again. I'm talking Facebook blocked + cell/home number blocked.
It depends on how well I know the guy. If he's a friend and made a little goof, I could probably laugh it off after teasing him relentlessly about it for an hour or so. If it's a guy I just met and he's saying d*** things, well, I'm not obligated to talk to him again, so I wont.
If it's a boyfriend and he cheats on me, it depends on the circumstances. If it was done knowingly and he marketed himself as single, he's done for, and I will warn all my friends of what he did so they don't get mixed up with a cheat. After that, he's dead to me.
If it's a stranger and he did something like sexually assault me, they will feel the full firey wrath of my hand through the law and any other means neccesary to ruin their lives...
Conversation ... a few days, unless he really insulted me and then it might take a month or so.
Bigger hurt, like cheating ... several months to never, depending on how intentional his cruely was.
Something really sh*tty, like sexual assault (been there)... He doesn't exist any more.
but how much few days?
If it's something little or a small mistake, I don't ignore him. That's bad. I'd just be up front and let him know he made a d*** move. However, if it's something huge like cheating on me, I would disappear from his life in an instant. I'd probably coincidentally reappear a few times after a couple of months if I happen to be looking nice.
This is the one that happens to me lol run into my exs and they look great. nothing worse than that
For something small it could be minutes, hours or days, depending on how well I know him. The better I know him the longer I'll be mad. As for big drama like cheating then its bye-bye. Its not something I could forgive. There is no excuse for somethings and I am an unforgiving, stubborn person.
if it's something he said..i guess it depends on the guy...but a day to three days I guess..it depends on what he does to try to make it better. But if its small it's not big deal I guess. If it's cheating then he's out for good. There is no sorrys to make up for that and I wouldn't want to be around him. =/ maybe I'd forgive and be like whatever and move on but I wouldn't want to be around him.
I wouldn't hold a grudge, I would just not care if he existed or not.
One guy I dated did cheat, and lie about a girl he was saying in conjunction with myself, he had wanted to be friends a couple months ago, and I just laughed and walked away.
past is past.
If it wasn't anything major, he apologized for it, and was making an effort to make it up to me/not do whatever it was that made me mad I'd be over it almost instantly. If it's a recurring issue, then I'm not going to forgive until he can prove that he's actually sorry.
Hurt me in conversation? Until he gets the message. Usually a week and he says he's sorry (don't worry guys, I tell them when they upset me and what they said)
Hurt me by cheating? When Hell freezes over. Then, and only then, would I even begin to consider speaking with him again.
i am always forgiving and when it comes to things that upset me, its usually because I assume sh*t and my mind causes me to assume the worst... and its never that bad so in those cases, not much time at all or as long as it took
if it was something major... id forgiving but probbaly ignor him for good
I'd just tell him when I can figure out how to logically tell him why it hurt me; before that I'd just be extra quiet ('cause of the hurt) but not with the intention of silent treatment.
If he cheated on me I'd break up with him and not talk to him after a few last words. No need to keep in contact.
No
I'd ignore a guy pretty much forever if I knew his attitude was just like that and he wasn't going to do a thing to change it.
for a small mistake I probably would ignore him at, especially if it was a accident. id just let him know what he did wrong so he doesn't repeat the mistake. for a 'big drama' my reaction would depend on exactly what happened. but if he cheated on me, then were done, I wouldn't just ignore him for some period of time, we would be over for good.
If he would hurt me unintentionally, I wouldn't stay mad, but if he would cheat... I wouldn't forgive him.
I think it depends on how bad he hurted me, if its something small, I would probably stay mad for a day, maybe 2, and if its big... can be months, even years, or just, never.
well, something small I can only stay mad for a few things... for something bigger the longest I've stayed mad at someone was a few months... I like to forgive people because I think everyone deserves at least one second chance.
aww... I totally love you ^_^
why thank you :3
cuz I like your nature lol ^_^
It depends, if the "small comment" was something that was understandable or a misspeak, then maybe a couple days to a week depending on if we've resolved the issue or not. Normally I will say something if I'm offended. If it was a comment that was mean spirited and gave me insight to him feeling negatively about me, then I wouldn't talk to him unless I had to. if he did something big like cheating I'd cut him off and move on. I don't make place for people who are negative and toxic in my life.
it really depends for a small mistake I would forgive him in a few hours but as for cheating propably I would forgive him but I would never speak to him again!
Example I had a friend who was always teasing mee and I continued to speak to him as if nothing but one day it was just to much and I started to hate him!Now I don't hate him but I haven't spoken to him in 3 years, and when I see him I just act like he never existed.
Well if it was unintentional then I would tell him he hurt my feelings but if he cheated I would ignore him until he did something that makes up for hurting me. It would still take me a while to fully forgive him but I would forgive him eventually.
it really depends, if he just said something to upset me maybe a couple of days...but if it was something like cheating I'm not sure but it would probably be a lot longer before I could talk to him
but how many days?
maybe one or 2
Cheating on me?
If I met him in the afterlife,it would be too soon.
But eventually I'd let go 'cause such a guy
ain't worth my time or my emotions.
a small mistake wouldn't last too long
cheat I will never date him again but talk...give it about 5 weeks but I'm also not a very "DRAMATIC" girl ,now talk hurtful in a convo one day if by mistake, fight 3 days tops...thats it! I also don't like drama and people who talk to me about men 24-7 annoy the hell out of me so you might not like my oppinion
