Answer:

I don't know if this will help you, but I found out that I had to forgive my ex for cheating before I could forgive myself, and move on. I loved him with all my heart and soul, and we did try to work it out, but the trust was just never there again, even though I had forgiven him. Just remember, that in forgiving him you forgive yourself, and that is the best thing for your spiritual and mental health. I wish you all the best in whatever you decide.

Answer:

I think the first question you have to ask is "do i want to forgive him or move on'? if you want to forgive him you can try to think logically that men just get horny and if he was drunk it probably was a one time mistake but if actually formed a relationship with someone else then perhaps you should move on and find someone that wont hurt you like that.

Answer:

Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. It will help you heal. It is also a spiritual exercise and it takes
practice.
