In this Adulting Unadulterated episode, we ask a question many of us avoid: do you have to forgive someone just because they said sorry?

“Maaf kar do yaar” is something many of us have heard growing up. Arsala shares why she believes pressuring someone to forgive can protect the person who caused the hurt more than the person carrying it. Jas talks about the hardest thing she has had to forgive, and why she eventually chose to let it go for her own peace.

Together, we explore the apologies we owe and the ones we’re still waiting for; whether you can forgive someone and still feel hurt; why some of us forgive quickly while others carry the pain for longer; and whether we’re responsible for all the hurt our actions cause.

Most of us think about the times we’ve been hurt. Fewer of us stop to consider when we might owe someone an apology. And maybe closure isn’t something another person can hand you. Maybe it’s something you build for yourself - with forgiveness that’s yours to give, never theirs to demand.

Tune in if you’ve ever been told to “just let it go,” or if you’re still waiting for a sorry that hasn’t come.
