Man, these girls broke the dude and then want to act like its all in the past- so he should just go with it? To hell with them.

He should forgive, and not for their sakes but for his own. Holding on to grudges hurts the holder at least as much as it hurts the begrudged, and we can clearly see that in just how awful he feels all the time. That doesn't necessarily mean going out with the teary-eyed girl or going back to how things were before with his sister, but forgiveness would help him recover.

Respectfully, I disagree. They can ask for forgiveness, but they should not expect it, and in my opinion should not be given it; they aren't asking for it because they actually regret what they did. They just want to feel better about themselves, and the effect on him doesn't come into play. There is no grudge being held on his part- they hurt him, and he is not allowing them to do so a second time, as well as not allowing them to simply waltz in and pretend that they didn't hurt him when they know good and damn well that they did. That's all there is to it.
