When I was 18 I was in a really bad relationship - physically, mentally sexually abusive. Y I let it happen - one will never really know. I have a few theories but neither here nor there. I am not and was not the type to end in in something like this. Nevertheless - 10 months I spent with this crazy @ss.
Now almost 8 years later I know I have finally fully 100% forgiven him. Before I would randomly have dreams about him where I would see his face- I haven't in person since I was 19 at a friends funeral-and the dream would be filled with turmoil and hostility. Now, this is the second time I have dreamt about him- and it has been pleasant, nice actually. All negative feelings are gone.
This brings me to my dilemma. For months I have been going back and forth with emailing him and expression my "forgiveness". Some opinions on this subjec is until u tell the person u forgave - u can't actually be in a forgiving place- others song quite agree.
What is your opinion?
