Should Rihanna Forgive Chris Brown?
I've been thinking a lot about violence in relationships lately, especially in the case of Chris Brown and Rihanna (although the genders could be reversed - violence can happen to both guys and girls, of course).
Should whoever was abused forgive their abuser and taken him or her back? In the case of Rihanna, she was beaten so severely that she was disfigured (TMZ has the photo here - warning, photo's big and her bruises are prominent).

That is so fcked up.
Rihanna needs to take time and take care of herself and recovery. Then get some sort of restraining order against the guy, lol.
Forgive? Perhaps. Go back to him? No.
What kind of question is that? NO.
no way, she shouldn't
There's a difference between forgiving and continuing to date the guy. Sure she should forgive him or at least not hold a grudge against him. Life is too short for anger like that. But also because life is too short, she needs to stay far away from him and his mess.
for one thing, her face and bruises are NOT that horrid to where there needs to be a warning. It bothers me when someone is famous they dramatize everything. It's not right what Chris Brown did at all! I would NEVER take back someone for beating the pulp out of me!
No way. I hate how young men around my age think they have to be aggressive jerks to prove their manliness but I think a man who knows how to control himself when it counts the most is more of a man.
Male or female, there is no excuse to hit anybody unless it's in self-defense. The thing about violent people, abusers, and bullies is that as long as they think they can do it, they will. And if they know they can do worse, they will. So, if you are in your right mind and you' hit somebody, especially your spouse, then you've already crossed the line.
I have no clue what happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna but if she forgives him, that's her choice. Personally, I'm the type who can hold a grudge. She shouldn't take him back, however. As a said above, once an abuser, always an abuser.
People will do anything when they are in love. I feel sorry for her.
i think she should forgive him
forgiving is easier on the heart
besides, i heard there is no real photo out
and the ones that are out are just photoshopped.
however, going back to him is entirely her decision, I really don't know if I would go back to him though....
she should forgive him but get the heck away. nobody deserves to be a punching bag.
We don't know what happened... how can we we give an opinion about something we don't know between people we don't know?
never ever
It really is up to her. Maybe when the time comes, she'll forgive him.
I'm boycotting Chris Brown. He fails miserably in my book. So do all the other abusive spouses/etc out there.
Adios amigo!
I wouldn't want to stay with a guy who verbally, emotionally, or physically abuses me. What kind of life would that be? But sadly, there are some people that are willing to put up with that kind of life.
she deserved it and it was worth a laugh.
but no, noone deserves to be verbally, physically, or emotionally abused.
Forgive, but don't forget.
I heard rihanna gave chris brown stds that's why he beat the shit out of her .... if she really did that i think it's ok that she deserved that beating becuz it's really fucked up for giving somebody stds....it also means she slept around =O!?
hell NO!!!
unless the person is insane, you DONT forgive and i dont think you could ever forget. definitely dont go back to that person...unless you have a death wish and want to be beaten to death. people who are abusive (physically and mentally) have real serious issues and they need help before they go out in the wild again so to speak plus they dont deserve to be forgiven. regardless of whatever reason nobody deserves to be hit or does the hitting, nobody has that right and once you do you broke the law and you deserve whats coming for you. i hope that chris brown guy goes to jail for what he did.
It's hard to forgive something like that. First she needs to find some peace in all this...and then when she's ready, forgive him. But forgiveness isn't the same as taking him back. I wouldn't give him another chance.
Haha are you serious?
i dont think i can forgive chris brown
im being legit honest here
i would forgive but not forget
Not at all.
Yes, forgive him.
But don't ever be with him again.
In an ideal world, no one would abuse.
In a more realistic ideal world, people would forgive their abusers, but never go back.
In this world, some people forgive and forget, going back out of love, fear, and obligation. Others never forgive or forget, and go back because they see no other way out. The rest forgive if they please, but seize the opportunity to never go back.
