Ed Bacon

“Spouses who stray outside the marriage hurt us in our deepest core because we have allowed ourselves to be vulnerable. In putting their needs or desires ahead of our own, an unfaithful spouse is devaluing our sacrifices, efforts, and needs. But forgiving an adulterous partner does not mean condoning his or her behavior or accepting blame for the circumstances that lead to the betrayal. It means finding a way to move on from the pain.”
― Ed Bacon, 8 Habits of Love: Overcome Fear and Transform Your Life
