So, when I forgive, do I let the boundaries go? If not, might the other person interpret my forgiving that way anyway?
Justice as a moral virtue is about setting boundaries. Forgiveness is about having mercy on another person despite the injustice. As you forgive, also exercise justice and talk about boundaries if these are violated by the other person. If you forgive first and rid yourself of a burning resentment, then the way you ask for boundaries from the other person may be more respectful and then possibly more fruitful, leading to a resolution of the unfairness.
