My former partner has apologized for bad behavior, but it all seems so insincere. Do you think it is okay if I refrain from forgiving under this circumstance? I feel nervous that I may make a wrong decision about getting back together.
I think your issue is centered on reconciliation, or coming back together again in mutual trust, rather than on the issue of forgiveness. You certainly can forgive and, at least for now, not reconcile if the former partner seems insincere toward you. Your nervousness seems to be more connected to reconciling than to forgiving. Forgiving may relieve you from an uncomfortable resentment that might be within you right now. Forgiving also may soften the former partner’s heart and help the person to truly change toward you.
