In my life, I find that forgiveness is very different from reconciliation. Forgiveness helps me to find peace and move forward. Reconciliation is about a coming together to work things out. It does not sound like your husband is willing to reconcile at this point. I do not belive that God wishes us to allow ourselves to be abused by others. He wishes peace and contenment in life. Trust that no matter what, things will be okay. He will never leave us alone. He wnats to help us, guide us, and provide strength to take care of ourselves. peace be with you..
