@drkathynickerson: Forgiveness after an affair is hard, and it was particularly hard for me. In Chapter 10 of my workbook, The Courage to Stay Journal, I share my affair recovery story and a conversation I had with my beloved therapist, Gloria. I told her I would never forgive the affair, so she should stop encouraging me to forgive. She said that was fine, but that I needed to move toward acceptance. That didn’t mean I had to like what happened, approve of it, or put it entirely in the past. But I did need to accept that it happened and find a way to move forward. That advice was so helpful. This journal is designed to help you, the betrayed partner, move through all the complicated emotions you experience as you recover from an affair. I hope it helps you as much as Gloria’s advice helped me. Sending you a big hug, Dr. K #AffairRecovery #Infidelityrecovery #betrayaltraumarecovery #Cheatinghusband #TheCourageToStay

Hoping the algorithm brings me back so I remember to look! Your book was the first book I read at the beginning of my journey almost 4 years ago. I’ve now got a small library of betrayal trauma recovery books and I’m still on the struggle bus. Not in the way I was in the beginning, it’s the long slow burn of lingering grief and my library of books aren’t hitting the same way they used to.

Forget is a never for most people. Forgive is optional..some can't, some can. It can feel better to forgive sometimes and sometimes not. Maybe over time we just let it go..not necessarily forgive. Either way I think people should do whatever makes them feel better at that time..later feelings may change. I try to remember that emotions change. Weird for me. The financial betrayal was worse than the cheating. I guess it had more impact on my life way longer (still today in fact). I realize that's not the case for everyone.

I don’t like the word forgiveness when it comes to affairs/ betrayal. Something’s only God can forgive. Especially if it’s with a narcissist.

Why would you ever forgive a man for intentionally and systematically lying, betraying, and destroying you. It didn’t really bother him while he was doing it, and he’s going to do it again. So why would you ever forgive someone for that. He did it intentionally, and he did it to hurt you
