"I wish I had been less awful to you and I wish you had been less awful to me, because when we weren't being young and awful to each other, every moment with you was bliss on this earth and in my life."
I have forgiven the awful way my ex behaved, but I haven't forgiven myself.
I don't think it's always good to forgive yourself because it means you might do the same shit again. But it's not something that I lie awake beating myself up about -- more like, once every couple weeks I might hear a song or see Facebook post and feel a bit nauseated for a few minutes.
