Should You Forgive A Lying Partner?

We all make mistakes at some point, especially in our interpersonal interactions. We talk it out, forgive the other person, and move on from there, even if we don't forget, right? Not all the time. What happens if the person you're dating makes a mistake that you can't seem to forgive? What if they didn't tell you a small white lie, but a bigger one that hurt you?
