I can't think of a joke that would turn me away from someone. I could forgive I think, I would be on guard but I think I could forgive. It would be something underhanded and ugly that would make me walk. Someone that hurt me deep, so unless the joke was underhanded and they were trying to hurt me, I think we would be good.

My first husband did a joke but it was done in anger and then he made me feel small. I accepted much of this due to my lack of self worth...but I wised up. Anyone who does a so called joke and finds out that it was hurtful, mean or degrading is not their friend to begin with. They have bigger issues to deal with than the person receiving that treatment. I have forgiven my ex and we have moved on but one never truly forgets. Now if the joke was done without realizing that the person was hurt by it, then one can forgive easier especially if the person apologizes for that joke.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-48725650628330037052017-03-14T10:07:26.690-07:002017-03-14T10:07:26.690-07:00I'm am not quick to forgive on some things!
