Question: 

My ex-husband had an affair with my good friend and they are still together today. I have a 17 year old stepson who I have raised since the age of 5. My ex wants to continue to act like we are friends for my step son’s sake and go to dinner all together etc... I am not comfortable with that. It is still very painful to see my ex. I am in the process of forgiving him. Is it ok to forgive without reconciliation?
