Forgiving someone after infidelity? That question comes up a lot. How do I forgive him or her after years of cheating and lying? Just how do I do that?

Dr. Doug Weiss, licensed psychologist and national author, dives into that topic in this video. This big question has so many variables based what happened, how big the transgression, who you are, who they are, etc. Forgiving someone isn’t easy, but it is possible.

Forgiveness and trust are two different things. One may be able to forgive their significant other but not trust them after they have cheated. You don’t hold the act against them but you are careful in how you engage with them. You may choose to trust again in time, or not at all.

Forgiveness is not only a choice, but also a process. And on this journey, it’s best to have support, whether through a counselor, a support group, or just a good friend. You are not alone in this struggle. If you try to do this by yourself, the walk is much slower and if not careful you can get stuck. You’re responsible in moving through this process and being intentional.

Don’t let someone else’s choices continue to drive your life. You are in charge of your destiny, you are in charge of your own heart. You can move forward in your life. Healing is available, but only you can make that happen.

We have many different resources available to you from DVDs and books to support groups and therapists.
