I hurt my husband and he is not ready to forgive me. I am ready to forgive myself.  Is it even possible to forgive oneself if the other person refuses, at least for now, to forgive?

Yes, your forgiving yourself is not dependent on the other person’s response to you.  If you have done your best toward your husband for now by having inner remorse for your actions, if you have repented by apologizing, and if you have done your best to make amends, then you have done what you can at present to seek forgiveness.  You now can move forward with forgiving yourself and also wait patiently for your husband to reduce his initial anger and become ready to forgive you.
