Grief lingers on long after forgiveness has put anger to bed.

This is my experience now years removed from my divorce from a cheater. The anger is long gone.

Yet I find myself feeling sad as I think of what was lost, tragically. I say tragically as it never had to happen.

Yet God allows people to choose sin over godliness, and cheaters take Him up on that.

I suspect part of the passing of the anger is that I love the life God has given me with Mrs. DM and Munchkin. In other words, I have moved on in my life.

That does not mean anniversaries–like the upcoming one for me–do not occasionally bring up a mild case of sadness. I find that is just a fact of grief. It comes on its own schedule and merely means you valued what you lost.
