Yes, Matthew 18:21-22 has been a standard for me this past four years living with another person the same age as me and not family. I am 62 now and the depths that I have had to go to forgive my Housemate and others who just keep doing the same things over and over to irritate me, has truly been a challenge.
But every time I say that I "forgive you" my heart feels lighter.

Matthew 18:21-22
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
The depth of which I have had to forgive would be unbearable for many men. After doing so, breathing became a lot easier.

It is freeing. But sometimes I just want to hang on to the anger, as if the other person can sense it... I never said I was smart. But I am stubborn to a fault... Working on it...

Loving Father, we come to You today to thank You for giving us the wisdom to forgive others. Just as we have been forgiven let us forgive others, not for them, but for us. Nothing is more freeing than forgiving someone we feel has wronged us. It sets us free! Praying in the name of Jesus. Amen.

one the hardest things to do, but I'm getting better at letting go.

Divine timing (as usual) on this.
133/365: A Time To Forgive
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:32
Keeping peace with people who irritate us can be a challenge. God instructs us to forgive our brothers and sisters just as Christ forgave us.
Find a way to forgive those who spin you out of control. Remember that forgiveness is about freeing you - not the person who wronged you.
Are you holding back forgiveness? It's time to let it go.
