Infidelity Support Group
Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...

Because our lives are lived in a spiritual climate, when i consult others about the possibility of divorce, they always seem so quick to ask, "have you forgiven her?"
forgiveness seems such a challenging concept to understand and live out. i think i have forgiven, but i am weary of living in a marriage that where there is no love expressed in any way.
i felt rejected by the affair and though i dont believe she has had another affair, she has rejected me time and time again with her words and actions.
does forgiving mean i have to stay in the marriage or can i forgive and move on with my life?
i think i have forgiven for the affair, but it is harder to forgive the continuing rejection when i have to live with it everyday.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
No problem, it is a good question in itself. I seem to get the impression that if one forgives one stays and vice versa.
I always thought that the opposite of forgiveness was revenge or vengence. As I said in my post, can one forgive a person who assaulted you, without becoming friends with them?
If I forgive my husband, does that mean I want to allow him to have the opportunity to do it again? Am I required to believe he is repentent, to forgive. Some people you must forgive may never be repentent, that does not stop one from forgiving.
But, I do think you have it wrong about forgiveness. You can't really forgive once and say it is over. Hurts like this cycle over and over again. We have to forgive over and over again when the hurt comes back up. Jesus said to forgive "seventy times seven." So, even he understood that we can't just forgive once and go on. Sometimes the offense is so deep taht we have to forgive it over and over again. I do think forgiveness is more for you than for the OP. So, don't beat yourself up that you have to forgive again and again. I think that's normal. But, when more hurt is being added to your pain, then it becomes harder to forgive. I don't really know what you are talking about in regards to the continuous rejection you feel. But, if your wife doesn't want this to work, you need to know. If she has checked out, then you need to know. It does take two to make a marriage.
