Just a quick thing. I know wrote a lot, and don’t want to jump all over this.

That is not the wrong way to think. It is the right way.
Forgiving her of course will let her off the hook - a bit at first and then more and more. She won’t even know when you have let her off the hook. Thoughts become feelings then become beliefs.
Ask yourself this: Is the other choice better? Do you want to keep her on the hook? Never let her off of that?
Please read your statement with just a few clarifications.

There it is, laid bare.
Is that you?
Is that who you want to be?
Forgiveness is for you.

Say that a few times. I believe that fits you much better Tad.
I have wrote a lot, and as you said you need to read it again, which is wonderful - glad when my writings are not just dismissed.
Please fire away Tad with any feedback or follow up.
Hope you have a good day at work.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
