Why do I want to forgive him?

I forgive him because we weren’t meant to be together. We learned from one another and grew. I am grateful.

I forgive him for withholding love from me because it helped heal my abandonment issues.

I forgive him for never fully embracing our relationship and for assuming that because I was younger than he, that I was meant to learn from him.

I forgive him for everything that happened between us because I was responsible, too. I could sit here and blame him for everything but there always two sides to a story.

I forgive him for trying to push marriage on me and using guilt and manipulation about something that isn’t to be taken lightly.

I forgive him for the past because as I do so, I relieve my future of holding onto this anymore.

I am worthy of a healthy and good life. That is ultimately why I forgive him.
