Asking forgiveness

[pokemaughan]

Alright, I got in an argument today. After a while, I admitted my wrong, and asked for forgiveness.

But she had also committed wrong, and I tried to tell her that she should ask as well, because I can't forgive her unless she asks.

She went on to say, in short, I don't have to ask forgiveness from you. She recognizes that she has to ask forgiveness from God, but she (in what I perceive to be pride) believes that she doesn't have to reconcile herself with me.

I really feel dumb asking this question, because I feel this is a common sense thing... but like I said, I think she's got the veil of pride over her eyes and just doesn't want to admit she's wrong.

Is there any Biblical justification for asking forgiveness from a brother/sister? I know the Bible talks a lot about forgiving others, but what does it say about asking forgiveness from others? My own word is as good as nothing in the court of pride; only the Two-Edged Sword can reveal the truth.

Please, if you will, help me here. I've forgiven her in my heart, but I still feel she needs to admit her wrong and ask for it as well.

If you're wondering why it's so important in this case- this girl is the one I'm committed to, so I'd like us not to have a barrier like we do now.

Pride does get in the way of so many things. It is difficult to admit when we are wrong, and asking to be forgiven is humbling. Remember, though, you can only be responsible for yourself and your own actions. You say you have forgiven her and asked her to forgive you. That's good. Now let it go. Maybe she should ask you to forgive her, but ask yourself why you need her to ask you for forgivness. It may be for her good that she does it, but it should be sincere and from her heart. If you have truly forgiven her the you need to let it go.

i dont know about asking for an apology but i do know that we are not let the sun go down b4 we say sorry and we are supposed to admit and ask forgivness if we are wrong so if she isnt saying shes sorry and was wrong then she has a pride issue or a control issue ,,, lol ,,, me and the wife spat on occasion somtimes i can see she she is wrong but i let it go to keep the peace,,, not that im not sure she does the same i have my faults i mean bro my wife says she sorry in other ways like cookin my favorite pie ,,, she dont say say to me hey hubby i was wrong but she does somthing nice to me to make up for it ,,, her way of saying hey hubby i was wrong and i do it too like when my mom in law came over for month she was gripping about how her house was so much this and that,,, so i said hey mom why doncha go home ??? that didnt go over to well musta been the way i said it i was wrong (dont tell my wife that ) and instead of saying sorry i went over to mom in laws house and fixed her gate ,,, and she cooked lunch ,,, and we had our truce back no sorrys said just a mutual understanding that we were both outa line ,,, love in christ arrow from god

Sometimes I wonder if women even realize that they're human.
