It sounds like forgiving him isn't the issue. You don't come across as mad at him or resentful. I'd say you already have forgiven him.
But forgiveness doesn't mean you forget what you learned or that all the damage is magically healed.
If someone hits your car, you understand it was an accident and you forgiving them... that doesn't mean you can just drive away. Even if they do, you still have to fix your car.
The sad truth is he isn't going to be a part of that. If he was, he wouldn't have just driven away afterwards.
I think what you are really asking is how do you pick yourself up and keep moving. A
That's a hard question, there is no quick easy fix, but it sounds like you are already on the right track.
The first thing you have to do is to understand some people spit on puppies. Maybe it's a mistake, maybe it's inconsideration, maybe its intentional. Maybe it's even because the puppy did something wrong... but would you ever look at the puppy and say "man, what a disgusting unlovable creature"?
No reasonable person would. So don't treat yourself that way. Just because he did you wrong doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. Like you said, he was the broken one. It probably wasn't even intentional. It really wasn't anything to do with you.
Once you let that set in and start to believe it, it's really just a matter of wrapping yourself up and being you again. Surround yourself with better people. Put the hurt down and keep the lessons.
Learn from it. Don't do it again.
And remember feelings are like bones. They don't heal in a week but they don't stay broke forever.
