Anita,

All I can say is that you’ve absolutely hit the nail on the head there. I agree with everything that you have said and quite frankly I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

He has betrayed me, in a way that I thought was impossible. Do I think it is something I will be able to forgive? No. The ghost of this event will haunt me for the rest of my life and I am absolutely sure of that.

I believe you are right in saying that he must no longer have a place in my life because of this – it is just much harder to put into practice because of who I am as a person. I always try to see the good in people and I am also very understanding of the fact that we are only human and sometimes we will make mistakes, sometimes terrible mistakes (which doesn’t of course excuse his behaviour in this instance) but nonetheless is a constant mind battle for me. He seems truly apologetic for this.
