We aren’t always guaranteed a smooth ride just because we love someone. Relationships are challenging, and building a life with someone else is tough. Without meaning to, we can find ourselves slipping up, making mistakes, and betraying the people we love with our actions (and inactions). In those instances, it’s crucial that we look inward, take responsibility for our actions, and find a path to forgiveness no matter how we choose to proceed.

Has a loved one in your life betrayed you? Have you found yourself betrayed in the worst possible way by a partner or a spouse? Betrayals completely change our relationships and they change us too. They destroy our trust and even our faith in ourselves. While we can come back from them, it’s a process that takes a lot of work and a lot of commitment from everyone involved. If you’re ready to forgive, then you have to work slowly and find better channels for communicating honestly and openly.

Sometimes we choose to move forward.
