The Situation

"He cheated and wants me to forgive him immediately"

The Brutal Truth

He prioritizes his own comfort over your emotional pain. Cheating shows he lacks respect for you and the relationship. Expecting immediate forgiveness is selfish and manipulative, attempting to control the narrative to soothe his guilt.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might rush to reassure him, minimize their own hurt, and feel pressured to forgive just to keep him around. This is dangerous because it disregards their own worth and needs, reinforcing unhealthy patterns.
