There are two dynamics at work in such situations:

Forgiveness: "I will not be at war with the person who wronged me. I will recover from the wrong with or without the wrongdoer undoing the wrong, and I will relax my emotions to a state of calm when thoughts of the wrongdoer enter my head."

Trust: "I completely believe that the wrongdoer will never do such a wrong again, and I will allow myself to again depend on this person when I could potentially be in harm's way."

Forgiveness can be fairly quick and painless...beneficial to all parties.

Trust takes time, and must be proven and earned.
