Forgiveness comes different to every human being, so a straight answer is difficult here. Generally it starts with them sincerely apologizing. Once they do that, work it out with a positive mindset!

I think that the act of forgiving someone who hurt you is easy. Its just the act of saying three words.
I think the hard part of forgiveness is coming to terms with the pain and betrayal. Its imperative to understand that you are not fault, and that the other party could be hurting as much as you are.
Once you do that than I think you can truly forgive.

That really depends on the person. If you love them enough you will forgive them, you may not forget it happened, but you will eventually forgive them. It takes time and a lot of love, but if you truly want to, then you will forgive them.

Forgiving a cheater is difficult, they’ve betrayed a bond so dear and they’ve broken a branch of trust which metaphorically you’ve put work into growing together. When a person cheats they say that they get bored, this may be true however they haven’t got bored of you, they got bored of the routine, you’re not boring nor dull. However, forgiving a cheater is a task not many can perform, think of it as making emends for them, as depressing as it is, you could die any day and so could they.. would you really want them dying (or you) knowing that they’re still seeking your forgiveness?
So, in conclusion, I think that you should forgive within time to be the bigger person and make sure they’re not living with the guilt.. (however horrid they were!!)

You honestly can’t. If you do it’s hard. You shouldn’t though. They messed up with a special person.

Well, it really starts with forgiving yourself. Sometimes you blame yourself for things like not being good enough or not doing certain things to keep them away from other people. Please know, you did nothing wrong. Then you can move on to forgiving them, and that’s a long process. First you’ve got to accept what they did to you, and that it hurt you, then you’ve got to admit your personal feelings about it. Then I would suggest talking to a trusted adult or friend about these feelings cause you’ve got to let it out. Find outlets for the negative emotions, and as long as you feel those emotions keep using the outlets. Seriously they help a ton. That’s all I’ve got.

As a listener I can see that you’re hurt and you want to forgive them. show them that you’re you’re no longer hurt that you have pushed yourself past that zone that you have bettered your self, better than you ever could’ve if you never forgiven them. show them that you no longer hold on to that hurt or to the bad past memories that you have let you go and show them that yes I’m willing to forgive you but that does not mean I’m willing to let you back into my life and let you hurt me I’m going to show you that I am capable of forgiveness and I am capable of forgiving myself

It's hard to let go of the feelings of pain and anger, and it's completely okay to feel that way. However, anger is a poison that will eat you from the inside the longer you hold it in. You have to realise that by forgiving them, you are opening up a pathway towards peace. Of course, most hurts never really go away, but time heals and you will get better. If not soon, then eventually. You have to realise that it wasn't your fault, and to accept things for what they are. Forgiveness is moving on and taking care of yourself, but it is not justifying why your partner cheated. Please remember, you are worthy of a love that will last, and forgiveness is the first step in moving forward.
