Refusing to forgive someone

Q: If a person wrongs another and is persistent in always hurting that person and now that person asks for forgiveness, but the other does not forgive them because they are very hurt, is the person who does not forgive sinful in anyway and will it be that now Allah will not forgive that person too?

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
