Quote: Ultimately, the key to healing from infidelity involves forgiveness, which is frequently the last step in the healing process. The unfaithful spouse can do everything right- be forthcoming, express remorse, listen lovingly and act trustworthy, and still, the marriage won’t mend unless the betrayed person forgives his or her spouse and the unfaithful spouse forgives him or herself. Forgiveness opens the door to real intimacy and connection.
But forgiveness doesn’t just happen. It is a conscious decision to stop blaming, make peace, and start tomorrow with a clean slate. If the past has had you in its clutches, why not take the next step to having more love in your life? Decide to forgive today.

I'm trying to forgive h at times I think I have...I don't think he's fully forgiven himself...or rather don't think he knows yet what he's really done...he goes from being sorry about it...sorry that he hurt me...to feeling like he did what he did and that's over and that's enough...no it's not enough...he needs to really be sorry for what he did..not just sorry that what he did hurt me.
