EXONERATION – complete restoration, offender accepts full responsibility & turns from that wrong & your relationship is healed (DAVID).

FORBEARANCE – only a partial apology, not a full confession; offender is still blaming you partially & not accepting full responsibility. The relationship is unstable because of lack of complete trust (SAUL).

RELEASE – the offender does not apologize, the attitude & actions do not change, the relationship is lost because of total lack of trust, but you must let go of the negative & move forward alone (PHAROAH)
