Summary
It is one of the most difficult decisons that anyone in a relationship has to make when a transgression occurs. Do you forgive and move on or do you forgive and try to work things out while staying together? Remember, the decision to forgive is as much to help you release the weight of what happened as it is to pardon the offender.
I hope that the quotes above are both a comfort and some tools to use when considering what to do when one partner disappoints the other.
Some things to consider when deciding on a course of action are:
- Even though a problem in a relationship is a very emotional issue, as you are working through what you need to do, do the best you can to think from a more emotionless perspective. Minimizing emotion will allow you to think more clearly and completely.
- The history of the relationship. Have there been frequent issues other than this time, or is this an exception.
- How serious is the relationship? If you have only been together for a short time, you might take Maya Angelou’s advice: The first time someone shows you who they really are believe them. If you have been together a while and this isn’t the norm, that should be considered.
- How severe is the transgression? Was it a one time out of chracter missing an important outing with your family, or is it an ongoing cheating?
- Put yourself in your partner’s shoes. What led to the problem that you are having? Is there somehting that you are not aware of or are misinterpreting? How would you expect your partner to react if you had been the one who misbehaved?
- Do the best you can to think about how your decision makes sense for the long term. You could be feeling embarassed, angry, hurt, or any other number of emotions. In a few days or weeks, you will be past those emotions. So, do the best you can not make how you feel right now be a factor and try to draw on the way you will be feeling weeks from now.
If you do decide to stay together and move past it, you have to work it out and then not bring it up anymore. It cannot be a point to bring up to help you win the inevitable disagreement that will happen at some point in the future.
