To forgive is to remember

He can't forgive himself. Sometimes he wants to, and is willing to suffer for what he did. Not that he hates himself, just as a sort of payment. 

It wasn't that bad. There's physical, verbal and psychological harm. If he ever hurt physically, it wasn't worse than a bruise. He probably never hurt verbally. Psychological harm? Mild. 

He only accepts part of the guilt. Most psychological harm came from the fear of what she would say or do if she found out. She's caused much more harm than him. No doubt most of the fear came from her. Supposedly she harmed with a purpose, and him to please himself.

He'd probably do it again.
