Thank you for your answer about my partner, who blames me for being 15 minutes late after work.  If, as you say, she is accusing me of something that is not a wrongdoing, do I have the right to forgive her?  I ask because she simply is not thinking deeply enough about the situation, and so she is not engaging in deliberate wrong.

A person’s intention is not the sole criterion for you deciding whether or not a wrongdoing has occurred.  Your partner is not intentionally doing anything wrong, but her actions can be considered unjust because she is not taking the time to explore in depth your situation with the boss.  If you are annoyed by this and if it is affecting your relationship, then you can go ahead and forgive.  At the same time, you can work on the issue of fairness and gently help her to see that your situation is not a wrongdoing because you need to be obedient to the boss, and your family benefits because you are employed and have a good relationship with the boss.
