“More than a Language, Culture”

Dear Sway:

My fiancee cheated on me. After talking it over, I have forgiven her and
want to move on.
Now she is questioning my love for her because I didn’t get upset enough
about it.
This has thrown me for a loop. I never thought my ability to be rational
and forgiving would break my heart.
Bewildered

Technically, these abilities didn’t break your heart — they just gave your fiancee a
new way for her to break it, after the cheating didn’t work.
In 34 words, you exposed your fiancee as deeply immature, unready for marriage
and incapable of saying this to your face. So, she’s resorting to sabotage — first
cheating, now lobbing accusations at you, soon something else.
If you don’t believe me enough to walk away, then please make this engagement
contingent on rigorous premarital counseling. The ever-after you’re looking at now
is not a happy one.
