1) H opened up last night and told me he wanted this to work, but he will never be able to forget or forgive what I did to him. I have no expectations of forgiveness, but I don't know what to say when he says he'll never be able to forget and forgive. I'm assuming this is how most LBS feel in the beginning?
I am going to disagree with your husband.
I do agree that he will never forget. In the area of forgiveness, first he needs to forgive himself, then he does need to forgive you. And yes TIME should help this. I am not sure that this is something you can TELL him.
If he truly wants to work on the marriage then that is a huge step forward.
Let me ask this, do you forgive yourself? What are the circumstances that caused this to happen? What role did your husband play? What role did you play?
All of this did not happen in a vacuum and we all play a 50% part in our relationships.
On to another topic. Do you know your love language? Do you know your husbands love language? Do you use this knowledge?
OK that is a bunch of stuff to chew on. I will leave it there to begin with.
