I agree. I also don’t know if I can ever forgive my ex-husband. His betrayals were great and my disappointment, surprise and the many challenges I faced after he abruptly left, just left me reeling. His brief “sorry” and “ wow, I can’t believe you are so upset” showed me how unrepentant he was and is. He still to this day doesn’t realize how my life has been in the past year- how he shattered everything. So forgiveness? Probably not. I just can’t see how.

I hope I can move on “in hope” like you said. Thanks for sharing this story. Helps to hear that many of us struggle with the concept and the granting of forgiveness.
