Not so many people would be able to survive after such incident. That guy is heartless. But why do people do this to their fellow being? I'm glad you were able to pick yourself up after everything.. I know it wasn't easy.. Thank God you didn't end up killing yourself over someone that doesn't worth it.
Forgiving him shows how different you are. Not so many people can forgive such a person not after what he did to them.
I wish you the best of luck as you have decide to give love a chance again. Happy married life come 19th Feb.
