Finally, upon actually forgiving your partner, they must take responsibility for their infidelity and commit to the relationship again. All of these facets of forgiveness are hard. They require you to climb mountains of emotions and allow your partner space in your life again that is not clouded with resentment or anger.
So, it’s completely understandable if you just cannot get past the betrayal your partner made you feel. At least right now. And if you cannot, that’s a sign that you should let your partner go. After all, forgiving them when you’re not really ready will only lead to future conflict via pent-up emotions.
Lastly, one more important question you must ask yourself is whether or not you actually want to be with your partner anymore. Sure, you may love them. But we all know that sometimes, love is not enough by itself.
Do you feel like you have to stay with your partner just because you invested a lot of time into your relationship? Are you worried about what other people may think if you split up? Finally, are you just afraid you may not find anyone better?
Staying with your partner for any of these reasons is not the right answer. Staying with your partner because you feel like you “should” will only cause you to resent them over time.
That’s why, if you’re not sure if you have to let go of your partner, truly think about your relationship. Does your partner still make you happy? Do you enjoy spending time with them? Can you envision a future together that makes you hopeful and optimistic?
If the answers to these questions are “no,” then it might be best to finally let go, move on, and find a partner who truly satisfies your needs and wants.
