Pemaafan Pasca Perceraian pada Perempuan Korban Perselingkuhan di Yogyakarta

Forgiveness is a change in the attitude of an individual who has been hurt so that he does not retaliate with the same action towards the person who has hurt him. This provides more peace in the heart. Forgiveness consists of three aspects which include Avoidance motivation, Revenge motivation and Beneviolence motivation. Female victims of infidelity tend to feel negative emotions for longer than male victims.
