Trying very hard to find forgiveness. Its there, it just happens to be at the bottom of a very dark - empty heart right now and needs light to find its way out...

I have forgiven my husband. This does not mean I agree with his decision or even agree with his own "issues" in our marriage. Forgiving has freed me up to feel healthy and happy in my own life.

It's been extremely hard to forgive, but I want our family to stay together so I am giving it my all. I think I trust H more than I should already, but he's been brutally honest with me when I ask questions, so I believe him. It hurts & I think about it a lot, but I believe that time, and honesty, will heal us. We have a new no secrets policy that applies to absolutely everything now. No matter how insignificant. I believe it will work because I believe in us.

I am trying to forgive him, but it is so hard. I promised not to yell at him anymore and I promised myself not to bring her name into it. He says they are over and that they just work together. Trust is hard though.

I've forgiven my wife and the OM. It's a daily thing for me. I wake up each day and forgive all over. If I don't, the anger eats me up. It's better for all of us this way.

Working on this one . . . as memories come to mind, I place them at Jesus's feet . . . but also still asking questions here . . . if he doesn't see the need to ask forgiveness, then where do I go from here?
