This blog is the fifth in the series of 15 Blogs, on How My Love Story Unfolded Over The Years?

That triggered a lot of questions, the most common of them being- “We get into conflict, and resolve it by talking, but it is tough to forgive the other person at times!” I agree, that some mistakes are unforgivable in a relationship, like infidelity.

Mistakes, big or small, can bruise a relationship. But they don’t have to break them. How we define these moments of hurt can determine the strength and depth of our bond.
