If I do not reconcile once I have forgiven, does this make the forgiveness process incomplete?

Forgiveness is what you are able to offer, from your own free will, and when you do so, then you have done the best that you can right now.  Reconciliation, in contrast, involves at least two or more people coming together again in mutual—-mutual—-trust.  If the other person remains unrepentant and continues with hurtful, unjust behavior, you can go in peace knowing that you have forgiven, and so you can go in peace.  Your forgiving is complete even if the other refuses to reconcile.
