Do you have (adult) people in your life who never seem to be able to display contriteness, no matter how badly they've behaved? It seems even though they do regret what they've done, they'd rather sweep it under the carpet and laugh and joke with you - and that is their way of making amends?
What do you think is behind such behaviour? Too much pride? Entitlement? Memory loss? lol.

What makes you think they regret it? Bad behavior is a life style for some people and they just expect others to put up with it. I had to learn to disassociate with a few friends and relatives in order to maintain my self respect.
Did they already apologize? If so, yes, everyone should go back to living life...they shouldn't have to keep trying to earn forgiveness if you've already discussed it and they already apologized. So I;m not sure if you just feel they didn't sound sorry enough, or if they owe monetary damages, etc. What is it you would like them to do (aside from feel something they may not feel, which we have no control over)?

No, I'm talking about people who don't ever apologise or acknowledge they were wrong. They come back, all sweetness and light, while their victims are still "bleeding" from the wounds. They wonder why those victims still have pained expressions and are somewhat guarded. lol.
One of the classic NPD symptoms. It is draining and toxic to be around this type of behavior, and you cannot fix them.
