Hey, CMC. I just found your thread (sorry it took so long). I liked your quote. I actually was TOO willing to forgive...I don't think it really makes a difference to the sitch or to the WAS. But it does make a difference to YOU. You may feel better yourself if you can forgive...
There is a quote: Forgiveness is a gift that you give yourself.
It may set you free.
I think I can forgive my H. I can accept where he is. And I can acknowledge that he has a GF. But, I do NOT have to accept that what he did was right, I don't have to accept her in my life.
