If someone hurts you once, says they’re sorry, and then stops the behavior yes, I do believe in that.

And I do understand minor conflicts and expect them. I overlooked plenty of those.

It’s good to hear it is not everybody who is abusive. I thought my husband was as good as a person could be, and in so many ways he is, but in others he really, really hurt me.

I’m not sure about his love for me or even mine for him.
