Grudges - How long do you hold them for?

This is probably indicative of a failing in me but I still hold a grudge against someone for something that happened over five years ago. On the occasions that I remember the circumstances, all the old feelings rise to the surface and I usually spend an hour or so grumping around and being annoying to all and sundry.

Obviously I still feel justified in my reasons for holding the grudge but surely by now I should have left it and just got on with things.

Do you have any grudges that you just can't let go of and how do you deal with them?

A good couple of years generally, before I realise they're out of my life, it just doesn't matter any more. Should learn to let go, negative feelings are never healthy

I don't hold grudges as such. Family and friends - whats said is said and I'll agree to differ. If someone really pisses me off i'm just dismissive of them and don't have owt to do with them. Life really is just too short.

depends onthe offense...

when a flatmate stole from me while i was in hospital with a broken back, i held the grudge for three years,

EVERY time i saw him in the street i went for him...gripped him up by the throat etc etc

why? cos he still owed me a tenner... and refused to acknowledge it

he avoided coming to the town for over two years...

i kept saying to him, give me the tenner and this will all be over...

he did in the end, and ive said thats it and shook his hand...

Let it go-it'll cost you more than it does them-everytime.
The best revenge is a successful life.

i dont hold grudges, not much point really because the only person it affects is yourself so its not like you actually Achieve anything positive by doing so. deal with it, let it go and move on.

far better for you imho

Yep, i'm the same.

Dependant on the incident i would hold a grudge all my life.

I can still remember alittle poster of a shark saying "I can forgive but i can never forget" on a wall in a school once, thought that it summed me up quite nicley...

Life is not a Straight Line.

It depends on whether they've got me bang to rights. I hate being caught out.

A grudge is for life, not just for Christmas!

Depends how you look at it and how important the situation is.

I don't speak to my old man because he walked out on me and mum, i never will forgive him and hold it against him forever.

People who fuck me over something trivial will be dismissed and not spoken to again, but that's more the fact i won't call or see them, not that i'm holding a grudge about it and it keeping me awake at nights.
