Forgiveness is for you not for them!! We have been misguided about the propositions of "forgiveness". It doesn't come from environment, it's like an energy that flows from within to outer world.
The real question is who needs it?
Definitely the one who is carrying the luggage of betrayal and suffering, so do it for your mental peace without expecting a tangible reward from somebody who is forgiven.
The pivotal thing is to recognise that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting the damage caused and letting yourself go through the same. Thus, you can forgive someone without being asked for it and chose to move on.
I believe Theory of Forgiveness implies an implicit motivation to make our lives peaceful and creating emotional space for more positive people/things to come in.
The longer we hold that grudge inside, the longer we face the pain, it's like keep scratching a wound and not letting it heal.
Forgive others and yourself as well to start the process of healing. We all need to be healed in one or another way.
Stay mindful and have utmost serenity in life.
