Forgiveness

Unfortunately you cannot compare this to the total betrayal by your spouse, your lifetime partner, the father of your child.
My husband betrayed me in the worst possible way. Not only did he have an affair but brought her into the home we shared for 20 years, and then in our dream home where we planned on spending the rest of our lives together now that the kids had moved on. I can’t explain the hurt that it has caused me. I have to live here day in and day out knowing what went on here. The lies are unimaginable. I can’t get away from the triggers, the pain and the betrayal. I cannot forgive him for the hurt it has caused me. It never lessens, even with time. My choice is to stay and live this nightmare everyday, or hurt my child and our family even more, and of course if I choose to leave, I will forever be the bad guy. They all can forget, but I never will...
