[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I was one of those people who could never forgive but when it came to it I found I could.  It took a lot of counseling and he did all I asked of him and more. One day I just saw him as he truly is, with all his human imperfections and weaknesses and fears and pain and recklessness but also all his goodness and generosity and love and kindness. I saw his sorrow and remorse and confusion at his own failings and I just felt my anger go.  It wasn't a decision I made or the result of any concerted effort but rather just a sudden sense of peace and understanding.  I'm not at all religious but it felt like grace.  I wouldn't chose that path but it has changed me for the better and every day I look at my children and am so deeply grateful for that forgiveness.  Our marriage is not perfect bliss but it feels honest and real and I am genuinely happy.  But I think I could not forgive a second time because knowing what he knows now about the pain he caused me before,  I would not be able to forgive him knowingly inflicting that on me again.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing this - I wish this is where I am. Instead my husband blames me for his affair. Walks around with such an attitude towards me. The affair could he been forgiven, the lack of remorse and empathy has been harder. [/quote]
