I’ve gotten pushback on this, but I see this situation analogous to a cheating spouse. It is a betrayal that MIGHT be forgiven, but will never be truly forgotten and will have permanently tarnished the relationship.
As in the cheating, there is virtually nothing the perpetrator can do to make it right.
I have a friend who just went through a divorce because his wife cheated on him. While he still loves her, he cannot live with her because every time he looks at her, he imagines her having sex with this other guy. He just can’t unthink it.
We will not be able to unthink the Bud Light can with that creature on it. Period.
Could we forgive them? Maybe. Will I still have a nasty gut reaction every time I see a Bud Light can? Absolutely.
yep
AB
you are forgiven
now get lost!
