My lovely gentle kind but damaged friend has had an affair on her sweet loving kind long term partner. He is heartbroken and dignified. She is devestated.
She seems hell bent on self destruction. She followed a path that she knew would lead to this. She confessed to her partner herself. She wasn't caught.
I am so sad and will support in a non judgmental way. I have read about affairs on here for years and it always seemed so sordid. This seems different. It was a desperate attempt to destruct something good.
I'm not too sure why I'm posting. I am just so desperately sad for them both.
Has anyone forgiven a partner who had an affair while in the grips of depression or alcoholism? Does that mitagate any of the damage?
