HOW DID THIS PERSON HURT YOU? There are so many answers to that question! HAS THIS PERSON HURT YOU THE SAME WAY REPEATEDLY? DID THIS PERSON HURT YOU INTENTIONALLY? COULD THE HURT COME FROM A MISUNDERSTANDING?
These are just a few of the questions I would take into consideration in trying to answer your question in a valuable way. I have been hurt in nearly every relationship (even with "just friends") at some point in time. One thing to consider was whether or not the hurtful incident or words were done/said maliciously.
Someone who says or does something that causes me pain (financial, physical, psychological, emotional, or spiritual) intentionally is not someone I should continue to have in my life. Someone who UNintentionally causes hurt.....talking to him/her about it is important. He/she may be totally ignorant of how you feel!
Forgiving is important for our own mental, physical, and emotional health. You can forgive, you can love, BUT you can also keep your distance from him/her if it was intentional. You can forgive and continue the relationship, perhaps less enthusiastically, less trusting. Depending on WHAT hurt you will be a big factor in deciding what you do. My personal opinion is that if you were hurt by infidelity, you won't really forgive and forget. It will remain as an open sore, or scab at the very best on your heart. That kind of betrayal is impossible to completely forgive.
I wish you a happy heart and a love that nurtures your spirit.

You say "really bad",so it must be something that has left you hurt ,angry, upset,or even frightened,if you think you can get past these emotions and this person is worthwhile to have in your life maybe another chance can be given,everyone deserves a 2nd chance,and hope this time around things will be more pleasant.
