Forgiveness is internal, and is all about you. If you really want to forgive someone, then you don't necessarily have to talk to him or her. It's perfectly normal to want to talk to someone about how they hurt you so it doesn't happen again. Confronting the other person in this case could even exacerbate the problem if you are in a state of mind that could lead to another argument.

Is it always possible to forgive?

For some, perhaps. Certainly not for everyone. It is absolutely possible for everyone to forgive, although many people refuse to, not realizing that by doing so they only harm themselves. Forgiveness has little or nothing to do with the other person. It has everything to do with the one forgiving. Look at it this way: someone has caused you harm, and you can either forgive that person and put to rest any continued harm, or you can harbor ill feelings and let the damage continue.

How do you express hatred towards someone you hate very much?

To be up front with you, you should not hate no one! You should forgive them of what they did or didn't do (not forget but forgive) and let God Deal with them. If you can not forgive them then you are basically saying that you are above God, God hates no one he hates the sin that they do. Another excellent reason to strive not to hate is that hate is the poison that destroys the hater, not the hated. It is never easy to overcome some of our basic emotions, but as you try, you become a stronger, more powerful person. That's three reasons to make the effort!

When is it ok not to forgive someone for doing the same thing over and over?

Ya, I can... and there are many cases for it. e.g. 1) In past, I might be wrong and didn't forgive someone; then I realized my fault. Now, I don't repeat my fault anymore. 2) This 'forgiving' may vary from person to person. It can happen that I didn't forgive someone for his/her doing, but I may forgive someone near-and-dear one for doing the same. 3) It may occur that in the past, someone did something wrong intentionally and so I didn't forgive him/her; but now if I see someone doing the same wrong thing unconsciously and unintentionally, and after finding own fault he/she has intention to be changed, then I'll forgive him.
