Does forgiving mean forgetting?

I had a conversation with someone the other day about forgiveness. He told me that truly forgiving someone means forgetting about the situation. Is that true? I have forgiven people for the things they’ve done but I haven’t forgot. I feel like remembering the situation is allowing you not to get into that situation again. Especially in my case when people don’t know how to leave me alone. I’m faced with not knowing if I have truly forgiven him, just because I said I did or because I don’t dwell on it anymore. Its truly a mystery how the world works. People want to fuck up and then come right back around and it seems to me that some people are easier to let go than others. When is it the time when my compassion for people runs out, especially for the ones I’ve had drama with? I guess with those particular people, I know that the drama we had is not what they are all about. What I mean by that is, I know the good in them as well and the good doesn’t necessarily outweigh the bad and vice versa. It by far doesn’t excuse the fact that they fucked up but if I feel like giving them another chance, am I fool? Honestly, I feel like one but can you, the reader, say that you’ve never given someone a chance after they have fucked up royally? Are you like me, where the main ones you’ve had the most mess with have GIGANTIC BALLS and try to come back in your life? Supposedly in a new place, willing to do whatever, just to be called a friend and not a foe? These are the questions. How real is the saying that someone who truly loves and cares about you won’t ever make you shed a tear? That’s not the way to show love, but I know of SOOOOO many women, who have been through it all and have given chance after chance, but I guess it depends on if you, in your heart feel he is worth it. I have things I want to get off my chest and they may be an indication on whether a chance can be given. Im not gonna lie, it will take a lot for trust to be regained but we will see if the category of associate can be reached. I guess I’ve already made up my mind that I will at least put all the cards on the table, once and for all----we shall see
