Default Re: Can we let go of our past

It can be too hard to deal with the past, and sometimes a divorce really is the solution. At the same time, it is possible to resurrect a marriage out of nothing and create love again where none seems to exist anymore. The question comes down to whether you and your husband believe it is possible. If you believe it is, if you both believe you can let go of the past and discover love for each other again, the only thing stopping you, is you.

A lot of times people are told the need to really analyze the past in fine detail to find out where things go wrong, a good exercise in making sure it doesn't happen again. But the only chance when starting over from scratch is to completely let go of the past. Forgiveness can be a decision you make. It is the hardest thing to do, making that decision that nothing about yesterday matters any more, but it is necessary.

Either path you chose, starting a new life together or one apart will be difficult and long, but it won't be any rougher than the road you're leaving behind.
