How do you get over doing something you feel guilty about?!
Question:
How do you get over doing something you feel guilty about?
My boyfriend told me he doesn't mind, but I still can't help but feel guilty about it...how do I just convince myself that he's ok with this and I should just move on?
Answers:
Gretchen - guilt is a feeling of "I've done something wrong and need to be punished." To get over your guilt, MAKE AMENDS to anyone who may have been harmed by whatever it was you did.
Then FORGIVE yourself. The reason you feel guilty is you will you feel like you should be punished for what you did or you are expecting that your boyfriend may punish you.
Just know that you did the best you could at the time and forgive yourself. If you had known better you would have done better.
