I just made a friend of a nice lady. I just can't get my head around the fact that her ex-husband married her sister (had an affair with her first, while still married) and she was able to forgive, both.

Right. I was trying to understand her, she might have wanted to keep the family, as in extended family, together - their mother that she loves, the cousins/grandcousins. The cookouts, that kind of things, - instead of dividing the family?
Her three children were teenagers to young adults when it happened. It impacted their lives, one got into drugs, the other just keeps mum on everything. Two of them have children, the sister's children have children. So, what should have she done? Cut herself off? How about her kids and grandkids? Should they be going to separate occasions? Or take sides?
What I am saying is, maybe she is wiser when everything is taken into account?
I'm not very forgiving. Wish I was better at it but maybe one day.
If my man left me for my sister. I don't think I'd have a sister anymore.
I was in an 8 year relationship that ended 5 years ago and I still haven't really found a way to forgive my ex for the things he did. I found it better for me to sever all ties. That took less energy to me.
It's ok, Whyte Bird, you don't have to share if you don't want to....the saying used to be with friends like that who needs enemies...substitute "family"....
People in my family have done plenty. Sorry, not as forgiving as some, I would have to sever all ties and move on. Grown kids? See ya. Don't have to make nice when the kids aren't babies anymore. I would let the kids have a relationship with their father if they wanted to. Me? Nah. I could easily live the rest of my life without either one of them in it.
