I have forgiven my partner for constant criticisms.  Yet, the criticisms continue.  I now am wondering if my forgiving is giving my partner implicit permission to continue the criticisms.  Do you think this might be possible?

From what I can tell, you are forgiving without asking your partner to communicate with you in a more positive way.  As you forgive, try to approach your partner when your anger is lower and ask about the possibility of communicating with you in a more civil and even loving way.  It is not the forgiving that is the problem.  It seems to me that a missing step is asking for the justice of better communication after you have forgiven.
