Wow Hero! What an amazing turn of events! And I love that you have learned the value and importance of forgiveness in a relationship between flawed human beings...something all of us are. My H struggles with this most of all. The idea of forgiveness. When he gets hurt by something you do, even if you have the best of intentions, he will never tell you. Instead, he adds it to his growing list of transgressions [and they can be very, very minor] that by the time he confronts you with it, you don’t even remember what he is talking about. After 13 years, you can imagine how long my list must be. It is a sad way to live your life, IMO. Good for you for taking this time to self-reflect. It takes a very brave person to do this - especially when they have been “wronged” by someone else. It would have been much easier to take the victim role and I find it inspiring that you did not go that route. Thank-you for posting and for continuing to be active on the board. (((HUGS)))
