Could you forgive your partner for having an affair ?

I know my husband has had an affair but he doesn't know that I know.
I found out this recently by accident.
Should I forgive him as it happened a few years ago or should I have it out with him although I know he will deny it ?
What would you do ?

That’s a tough one. In my mind there would be a lot of variables:
How long we’d been together when it happened
If this were the only time
How long the affair had been going on

And bottom line, if there was a possibility of regaining trust. I couldn’t remain in a relationship where I constantly worried whenever he was late coming home, or that he was with someone else. So counseling would be imperative if there were to be any hope of the relationship surviving after infidelity.

Wishing you the very best and hoping things work out the way you want them to. 🙂
