I have forgiven her for cheating on me. Very little anger remains.

I have not yet forgiven her for destroying our family. I can handle more than our kids can. They are the true victims of her adulterous behavior.

Yes. To some degree.
Here's a link to my thread where we discussed this.

[On The Way back]

Don't we in a way have to forgive if we want to move on or re build with our spouse. I know that forgiving means different things to different people and the forgiving does not mean forgetting does hold true.

I just think when I am obsessed with the A and not forgetting or forgiving I am not in a state of mind to move on and build a new loving relationship. When I look to the future and enjoy the day, IE in a state where I have in a sense forgiven, I can sense that there is hope. Don't know if you see what I mean. I don't think that it is a one time event of forgiving, I think it is a general mind set of somehow putting it aside, or behind us and moving on.

I know that it is much easier said than done, and it all depends on the mood as well. I am up today, so it seems so natuaral to look to the future and the A and the hurt seems almost surreal.

That is what I think,

Have a Great Day,

Henrik

I can't say that I have. I am working on it, hard. Interesting thread, very interesting.
