- Nicola Prentis cheated on her boyfriend during his 15 months' military service.
- She spent three years trying to earn back his trust and forgiveness but it didn't work.
- Then a new guy she was dating said something very simple and she forgave herself.
One line of Dave Grohl's infidelity statement took me back to the aftermath of when I cheated on my Turkish boyfriend in Istanbul in 2008. Grohl said, "I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness." I spent three years trying to do that and it cost me entire sense of self until I finally forgave myself.
