Hi... Forgiveness and acceptance must come from within and not out of some obligation/compulsion.
Adultery is not a crime any more but it is still a valid ground for divorce (not suggesting one). This is because we all have rights to our bodies even if we are married. But in a marriage we are under oath to be loyal to our spouse and if that is breached, it becomes a valid ground for divorce.
In this case, husband is facing approach-avoidance conflict. He does not want to leave his wife because he loves her, but also unable to deal with the breach of trust (adultery).
Husband requires Counselling to understand his thoughts and emotions better and come up with a resolution that his heart and mind both approve of.
