Since nobody is perfect, contrition and forgiveness go hand in hand with any relationship. The guilty partner must recognize the error of their ways, admit to them and make amends. The offended partner must recognize the contrition of the other, be forgiving and move forward.

This is why patience, understanding, and forgiveness are vital in any relationship. However, that should never imply that forgiveness is automatic. Nor should it imply that there are not certain situations from which a relationship cannot recover.

Here are some actions that you may find in your heart to forgive your partner for, but for which you should still end a relationship.

Physical Abuse

Physical abuse is the most egregious act that a partner can commit in a relationship. There is never any justification for it. People who are passive often attempt to rationalize abuse. Some even assign blame to themselves, somehow convinced they deserved it. The reality is that physical abuse is never justified. If such abuse exists in a relationship it is best to terminate it immediately. No matter how contrite or supplicant the guilty partner might be afterward, in the majority of cases the abuse will return. In fact, it usually becomes worse. While you may morally forgive your partner, you should not go back to them. The relationship should end the moment that physical abuse became a part of it.

Adultery

Trust is the primary virtue that holds a relationship together. Nothing will destroy trust in a relationship faster than adultery. The very nature of infidelity strikes at the core of the emotional and physical bonds of a relationship. It invalidates all of the pleasant memories of the past and makes moving forward almost impossible. While there are some cases of infidelity from which a couple can survive, there are others that cannot. Make sure your sugnifigant other isn't signed up on any hook up websites or using any dating apps.

Being Used as a Scapegoat

During the course of any relationship there will be moments when one partner will blame the other for something that they did or failed to do. That is unavoidable. To an extent, it is normal. If your partner left the milk out and it spoiled yes, there is a large margin to assign blame there. If, however, your partner is constantly berating you for "slowing" them down, if they accuse you of being a hindrance to their career, etc., that is unacceptable. When that happens, it is usually due to your partner attempting to deflect responsibility for their own failures. Unfortunately, done repeatedly, it can destroy a relationship. It can make the other partner rightfully unwilling to continue with the relationship.
