Within the scope of romantic relationships, physical violence and sexual infidelity have been considered the most difficult transgressions to forgive. Similarly, two variables considered relevant for forgiveness within the context of the couple are partner-specific dependency and the guilt experienced by the offended person. In that way, this research aims to approach the understanding of the forgiveness process of such transgressions. To this end, an experimental study was designed (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>= 173 university women;<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>= 21.36,<jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>= 2.83), by which three indicators of forgiveness corresponding to the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Scale\u201318\u2013Item Form (TRIM\u201318; \u201cRevenge\u201d, \u201cAvoidance\u201d and \u201cBenevolence\u201d), partner-specific dependency and sense of guilt of the offended person were examined in the face of the transgressions of physical violence and sexual infidelity. Results revealed that violence (vs. infidelity) is less forgiven (higher \u201cRevenge\u201d,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= .017, \u03b7<jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>= .034). In addition, the results showed that high partner-specific dependency leads to further guilt which, in turn, leads to greater forgiveness towards the partner (less \u201cAvoidance\u201d,<jats:italic>CIE<\/jats:italic>= \u2013.094,<jats:italic>SE<\/jats:italic>= .042, 95% CI [\u2013.201, \u2013.029]; and higher \u201cBenevolence\u201d,<jats:italic>CIE<\/jats:italic>= .080,<jats:italic>SE<\/jats:italic>= .037, 95% CI [.024, .173]) in light of violence (vs. infidelity). Last but not least, the previous findings and their possible implications for romantic relationships are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/sjp.2019.19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,26]],"date-time":"2019-04-26T07:12:47Z","timestamp":1556262767000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Partner-Specific
