When my wife makes mistakes, why is it easy for me to forgive her? but when i make a mistake why is it very hard for her to forgive me and give me another chance? Why do i have to go through extreme difficulty to ask to be forgiven? do i just really love her more than she loves me? is it time for me to accept this as a norm ? or maybe thats how it's supposed to be? me loving her more than she loves me? or am i just not enough?

Hi @Tryingtobenough
Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry to hear things have been difficult, that's really hard to feel like you have forgiven while your own mistakes have been harder to move past.
It makes sense that would leave you feeling this way and that you want things to feel more balanced between you two. Forgiveness can be different for each person, but it's understandable to want that forgiveness to go both ways. It can help to get a bit of support when navigating these issues, it can be hard to manage your own and sometimes an outside perspective can help.
I encourage you to explore other supports if you feel it would be helpful to you, Relationships Australia is a great resource https://www.relationships.org.au/
I'm glad you've reached out to the community-its a safe space here and other member will also resonate with what you have shared and i'm sure they will also share their experiences.
