****I think he is genuinely sorry for his actions.

Do you think he is remorseful? There is a difference.

****But he stated that an apology isnt strong enough words for what he feels. He said an apology is for stepping on some ones toe. I told him he was right, but he did step on my heart and it would be nice to just hear the words. He apologized for not apologizing.

JMHO here...take it for what it is worth. He is being and a$$ and you are still harboring resentment. I'm not saying it is not justified, but it impedes the healing process.

****And "most" men are just plain right dummies!

Naw we aint that dummb just wired kind of funnie that's all.

****Everyone is entitled to one mistake.

Well if I was only given one strike in life I would be in hell now. And in life we are entitled nothing. Good or bad.

****But I do know in my heart if it would ever happen again, I could never ever forgive him

****My children will eventually learn forgiveness, but they will not learn how to be walked over!

As well they should.
