What's the biggest thing you have forgiven dp/dh for?

My relationship with (now ex) dp has never been easy if you look back over my previous threads. However, despite this I have struggled through and tried my hardest to make it work as we have kids together and I do love him.

But i always questioned if love was enough.

Yet despite us making a positive breakthrough a situation came to light recently where I found out that he had been exposing very personal family secrets to numerous people.

This led to huge embarrassment for all involved and was a huge dealbreaker for me as all trust was broken and I am deeply hurt (plus my family would probably disown me if we stayed together).

But part of me thinks if I really wanted 2 I could get past this, but I just can't see how.

So I thought I'd ask what big things or dealbreakers have you forgiven your partner for and do you think I am making a mountain out of a mole hole in regards to this situation?

If you don't really want to get over it, then why should you?

Don't let guilt or what life should have been with him persuade you to keep trying - it's what it actually was that matters.

I'd agree that sometimes love isn't enough: you can't keep throwing yourself into a relationship with someone who endlessly lets you down. Life isn't a lovesong.

I've forgiven my partner infidelity in the past, but I'm coming to the end of the road now.

Is this a double thread?
