Advice from Amy Dickinson.
I am extremely remorseful and even though I have apologized to my ex , I can’t seem to forgive myself.I hate myself for betraying a man who was nothing but kind toward me.I also feel like a huge hypocrite when conversations with friends turn to infidelity. My closest friends know what I did, but not everyone, so I feel like if I chime in on that topic about how wrong I think it is I am just lying to everyone.
Here you are, soaking up two decades of compassion you might have been able to offer to others, if only you had accepted it toward yourself. 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.
