I replied with a short message saying that I had moved on a long time ago, that there are a lot of things I never understood but that I had made peace with the fact that I didn’t need to understand everything. I also said that if she needed to discuss anything further to let me know. My tone was very peaceful and friendly, but I didn’t give her the pleasure of explicitly saying that I forgave her.
She thanked me for my reply and that was it.
To answer your question, I don’t know if I forgave her. I don’t even know what that word means. To be honest, I don’t think about it or about her anymore. I don’t hold any grudge or any bitterness inside me. So maybe that means I forgave her.
The way I see it is that we had a good happy marriage and she ruined it. We could have grown old together and lived happily as a family. But that was not meant to be. There are many paths in life and many ways to live happily. Her actions led me to a different direction, and thank God I am happy and fulfilled in my marriage and my life.
