7. If you choose to forgive them, do it for yourself

If you choose to forgive your partner, understand that you’re not doing it for them, but rather for yourself because you love them and want them in your life. And even though they might need your forgiveness, you shouldn’t concentrate on that.

Try to focus on the future you two are going to have together, and leave the past behind.

Also, try to avoid mentioning adultery in future couple fights, because it will mean that you never forgave them and both of you will be unhappy.
