Since she is the one who cheated, and I have had counseling with my pastor and elders, I have come to forgive her for her physical actions. I have had to forgive myself as well for neglecting her which drove her into another mans arms. That was not easy, but I am feeling more right with God now that I have forgiven her. I seek her forgiveness for my actions, and I pray that she can forgive herself for her actions. I know God will forgive her, she needs to get right again with the lord though.

No point in holding a grudge! I've got a life to live...
It DID work. Now, it is back to his old self. He knows what he did in the past to me was wrong. But, he has not a clue that he's doing it again. Or, he may just not care.

You only harm yourself by holding onto resentments. Forgiving isn't forgetting, just accepting.

He continued to lie, cheat and abuse even after I forgave him.

I have began to try to forgive him. some days are easier then others!
I have learned through growing up, that you have to forgive and move on with your life. If I was to let the years of pain spent with that woman get the best of me now, what a horrible life I would be leading!
This is so nessessary.

I have told my ex-husband I forgive him and am proud of the changes he has made in his life. We have a good family relationship between him, his wife, and our kids. I'm am working on this with my ex-boyfriend of 13 years. My huband is best friens with him. This is a hard situation to deal with. My ex b/fr has a girlfriend that I like and that helps. But he is still a jerk in many ways. My husband and he are both sexists and immature in a lot of ways.

not yet, but i'm getting there.
