Dear Amy: The phrase “once a cheater always a cheater” just plays on an endless loop in my head.
Dear Amy: Twenty years ago, I had an affair that ended my eight-year marriage .
I feel obligated to disclose what a horrible person I was and not play some charade as if I would never do something like that. Forgiving yourself isn’t saying that what you did was OK. Forgiving yourself is saying the opposite: that it was NOT OK, that you did a bad thing which hurt someone, and that this is a mistake you acknowledge and will never make again.
This marks the passing of a long season of friendship, and you should understand that mourning and grief are the appropriate and difficult feelings to have.
