When I felt slighted by our couples therapist a while back, I overreacted and caused a stir. My husband left him a message, demanding an apology.
My therapist eventually said he was sorry, and I forgave him, but my spouse held a grudge that sparked their 15-year estrangement. While the falling out inspired me to write a book on forgiving and apologising, I still feel terribly guilty about causing their never-ending rift. It turns out that the guilt I feel isn’t unusual.
