<human>: My boyfriend of over 6 years left me for two months for another girl while I was away for work and he was attending law school. I have already forgiven him and he has expressed how sorry he is through both his words and his actions. He has gotten rid of everything from those two months and doesn't talk to anyone he met through her not to mention he is extremely patient and honestly answers all of my questions.

The problem though is that I don't know how to get my friends/family to forgive him too. All they seem to be able to see is that he broke my heart and left me for a girl he met 48 hours earlier at a bar.

His friends/family and our mutual don't have any qualms with us being back together but my friends do. If you were my friend what would I need to explain or what would he have to do to get forgiveness? (He is watching this post too)

Condense the text into a few key points
