Writer's Block: Forgive and forget?

Situational. The longest grudge I'm presently holding is about 10 years old, and barring the other person's death not likely to go away.
But that's because it takes a lot to get me to have a grudge; once it's in place, it takes work to remove (and since that person thinks I am evil incarnate on the face of the earth, I suspect it's not going to happen).
Lesser grudges attentuate, but the end result depends on the nature of the relationship as to whether it was a serious one. If it was a serious one (ideally of some time) I'll probably get over it, but it may take time. I won't be nasty, or rude, but I won't be very trusting, and am likely to be a bit distant.
