Things don't always happen as we'd hope. Often it is unintentional neglect, oversight or ignorance of the situation that causes angst or hurt feelings. When appropriately addressed, we can forgive and move on. However, many damaged relationships occur because we think (or know) that the slights were intentional.
Regardless of our assessment of how intentional or unintentional the action or inaction may be, we owe it to ourselves to assess the importance of the real or perceived unmet expectation.
Valued relationships deserve fair assessments, the benefit of the doubt and second chances.
We all make many unintentional, and often unconscious, mistakes.
Often, we need to accept heartfelt apologies intentionally and excuse unintentional slights as anomalies.
