Well, I tired forgiving... giving numerous chances... and I was cheated on, again, and again, and again.... made me so bitter. I was so angry, and I still have a lot of anger, which hurts me, but I am learning little by little to let go... I focus so much on my kids, so not to think about the pain, that at points it feels like I am an ostrich with my head stuck in the sand, thinking that by not acknowledging the problem is going to go away...

I am not dealing with it... is there, lurking... one day I hope I will be able to deal.

I am not weakling, just human after all. And moving on, is easier said than done. Letting go and moving on, takes a while. But it is doable. Time. All it takes is time.


like huggs said, forgive and move on, don't forgive and stay, this is how i feel, when he did that to me? i thought he was just some sick animal, and i saw him like that just a dumb, sick animal and i felt better while telling myself this, onesided love is never easy and it is impossible to reach an end that you want, so moving on is best,imocomfort hug please don't feel alone

I was cheated on and I was forgiving. I was FOR GIVING her a divorce as fast as I could. No time for that kinda crap.

I use the Bush philosophy. "Fool me once, er, eh, um, well ya aint gonna fool me again"laugh

Possible to forgive, who knows, everyone is different, To forget, it takes a long time, but eventually you have to let it go and focus on your life, otherwise it just eats you up inside. The cheater will have to live with the gult for the rest of their lives, especially if there are children hurt as well. But don't blame yourself whatever you do!!

Pick yourself, brush yourself down and move forward with your life, who knows what's ahead....

I was told that I could forgive, but I didn't necessarily have to forget. Then it turns into a vicious circle, if I can't forget, I won't be able to let it go... it will always lurk there...

I haven't forgotten, and it still hurts a little, and leaves me short of breath... I can't forget, so I will always know the signs of cheating... I can't trust, because I'll be cheated on again...

Sounds familiar? Tell us about it.

Wellllllllllllll I caught my first (second one died)husband in bed with my friend My marriage was over within five minutes, I lost 45 pounds and started to drink a lot. I saw signs of my son who was in diapers at the time and decided to do the right thing and not put my son in the middle. I gritted my teeth and beared it. Forget that picture--NO--Forgive absoutely. I cannot hold on to that kind of bitterness for my own sake. My ex turned out to be the best father in the world for it and I will always defend him because dunno I am sure I had a lot to do with it. Young (19) just ever paid him much attention. I just wanted a baby and maybe wejust did what was supposed to be done. Hell , what does anyone know at 19.wave handshake
