You are more than right. But one of the greatest features is:

If what your husbands has done is forgivable, forgive ... and forget, forever. (Same, fellas, for your wife ...) Give him a chance to confess without lasting punishment.

You are absolutely right. Forgive, seventy times seven.

Yes, ladies, even if that means he “wins”.

Forgiveness is not a problem. However, it appears that only God can forget. I put it two ways, depending on the crime:

When someone has wronged me what I may say to them, and sincerely. “I am not angry. I just see you differently.”

And what I may say regarding their “sin against me”: You can forgive a tiger for eating one of your children, but you are really stupid to allow your remaining children to play next to it.

Forgiveness is something you do for yourself, unless you have authority over the other as in forgiving a debt. It is incredibly freeing and releases the person’s control over you.
