Sorry - I'm not buying it. Call me uncompassionate (is that a word)?, but I live every day with children who have a lousy R with their dad, their lives have been changed & so has mine. She continues to behave badly & disrespect us. I choose to ignore it. I choose to live a better life. I have not sought revenge & I have learned to not bad mouth her to my children.
I know that my ex is every bit as responsible for what happened. But truly - it is hard to protect your marriage from a predator. One who wets their sights on your spouse, carefully crafts a plan and ensures he gets caught.
Not all OP are created equal. For my part - I choose to NOT forgive & forget.
