Mine got caught texting multiple women he “ministers” to that he lives them. One in particular got most of his free time and attention. He adamantly denies any intention of wrong doing and it took months to get him to admit to an emotional affair. I’m not sure how to forgive this ... especially since he’s reluctant to take responsibility and own his actions.
Just as maybe one doesn’t intend to start an affair, but didn’t fall naked onto another woman by accident, one doesn’t end up accidentally telling other women “I love you” by accident either.
So, I’m wondering if my decision to reconcile is ill advised, and if forgiveness might look different than moving forward as is and accepting the narrative I’ve been given.
I believe in the power of forgiveness... but I’m wondering if it will look different and involve a redefinition of “safe partner” through the process.
What if they deny intent?
