Forgive him if you can.

He was unkind and disrespectful to you and your relationship. You have every reason to be angry and to want nothing more to do with him.

But if you can find compassion and forgive him it may help you heal.

We are all human and we all make mistakes. Sometimes we need to go through hard lessons to appreciate what we have, or what we had. Sometimes we hurt people in the process.

He was manipulated and lied to.

He may have broken your trust beyond repair, and he may no longer be a suitable partner for you.

But if you can find it in your heart to forgive him, and the family and friends that treated you poorly; you will have more peace.

In saying all that, I’m glad you had your best friend and her partner there to help you through. I hope you can find more people like them in your life.

Best of luck on your journey.
