Mr. Bee's bravery here http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-your-parents-for-permission-to-marry-you got me thinking about how I would sooo hold a grudge against him for not listening to me!
I'm the type of person that holds grudges, though. Are you a grudge holder?

@Boogs: Haha well I had a pretty good excuse why my parents couldn't meet Bee's parents. My mom and dad literally live in a remote village on the other side of the world (in the Philippines)!
You have to fly into Seoul, then wait a few hours, then connect into Manila, then wait some more, then take a puddle jumper to Palawan, and then take a motorcycle to the town. Then you walk a mile down a beach (there's no road).
Here is a video of the beach in front of my parent's bed and breakfast:
Here are their cottages and boats:

Naw, grudges take up time and energy, which are luxuries in my world. If something is that bad to hold a grudge, than I would just walk away from that person all together. Usually though, if I am upset about something, I just sit on it for 24-48 hours and usually I can think back and realize it just wasn't as big of a deal as I origianlly thought that it was or it is just not worth the energy of being upset.

@mrbee: That place is beautiful! What a wonderful remote vacation spot, your folks should be proud. My kind of place, rustic and remote (but not TOO rustic).

I forgive but I never forget. It's bad...I wish I could not be this way.

Not at all! I'm a forgiver. 
Hubs used to hold onto grudges, but after being married to me, he's become a forgiver as well.

I forgive but I dont forget and for certain people I keep a certain distance afterwards. My cousin in law and I used to be really close but then she created a lot of drama during the wedding planning. I'm still nice to her etc but I havent forgotten how she behaved and I dont plan to be as chummy with her as I was before

Not really! Firm beleiver in fogiveness. However if its something that really is life afffecting or something BIG (as I think of something in particular here), I cant "forget" it, but I can and will be the "bigger" person but have a hard time completely letting go. Basically I will forgive, but have a hard time letting the hurt feeling go. If that makes sense?

Nope. Other people in my family are and I hate the effect it has on everyone. I didn't see my cousin for three years because of a grudge.
