Book Bag: Kingdom of Simplicity Explores Forgiveness
They say an accident happens by chance, with no planning or deliberate intent. And people who knew my sisters would have said just that. It was an accident.
What Are You Sorry For?
I just came across a clever new website — Oopsimsorry.com — which gives people "Options, Opportunities, Possibilities and Solutions (OOPS), to deal with the 'OOPS' that happen in life." Members can anonymously make amends to people they've hurt or disappointed, and they can ask for an apology from someone else too.
Saying I'm sorry isn't always easy, so if there's something you need to get off your chest, tell us what you're sorry for, and be sure to check out Oopsimsorry.com!
You Asked: I Can't Trust Him
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for about six years now, five of which have been spent living together. For the past year, we have been staying in different cities due to work, although we'll be getting married in a couple of months. He really loves me, and we have never had any problems regarding another woman previously; however, when I went to visit him recently, I found out he was lying to me about a girl.
Is It Possible to Truly Forgive?
If you tuned into The Hills last night, you saw Heidi's sheepish attempt to make amends with Lauren. And even though Lauren has admitted to missing her ex BFF, it didn't seem like becoming friends again was high on her priority list, especially if Spencer remains in the picture. Since their relationship has been on the rocks — to say the least — for the past two years, Heidi got to fear that too much damage has been done to reconcile.
You Asked: Should I Forgive My Ex?
Dear Sugar,
I am a man looking for the advice of women since my male friends aren't sensitive enough to comprehend what I'm going through. I had been going out with this girl on and off for four and a half years. I truly loved her and she was my best friend.
Sunday Confessional: He Walked Out of My Life, Now He Wants Back In
I'm 29 years old and got out of a long-term relationship about eight months ago. My boyfriend and I had been together for three years and were planning on moving in together and getting engaged within the year. We had a very happy relationship, and I believed we were very much in love.
Sunday Confessional: I Was a Bad Friend, but I'm Ready to Make Amends
A few years ago, I started a relationship with a very controlling and emotionally abusive man. Obviously this wasn't clear to me at the time, I just knew that I felt happy for the first time in what seemed like ages, and I truly believed that we were in love. My group of friends had immediate reservations about him — they saw something that I couldn't — and my feelings were hurt that they weren't being more supportive.
Dear Quiz: Are You Forgiving?
Forgiving someone is no small feat. Sometimes it takes real determination and sacrifice and other times, forgiveness just isn't in the cards. While I like to think everyone deserves a second chance, sometimes that's easier said than done.
Dear's Advice on Atonement
Atonement, one of the Best Picture nominees for the 2008 Oscars, is wrought with wrongdoings and drama. In this specific incident, a chain reaction of events actually seems to echo a universal problem that I'm sure we've all dealt with in one way or another — if a message that's never meant to be seen ends up in the wrong hands, trouble always arises. Check out the clip below, and then share your own experiences.You Asked: Should I Forgive and Forget?
Dear Sugar,
A little over two years ago, when my father was in the hospital, my older sister and I had a horrible fight. Nasty words were exchanged and our argument even turned somewhat physical. I haven't seen or spoken to her since — she has always been a little on the hateful side.
