Well I could honestly write a book. But I'll try to keep it as short as I can. I'm a stay at home mom. Three in school two toddlers. My husband and I have been terrible. I'll take most of the blame. I have many issues but they have definitely got worse with time. I had kids before I met my husband. I met him at a church I started going to years back and he was and still is in leadership there. I was newly saved, delivered of addictions, alcohol, and so much more. I loved my church and never even thought once about being in a relationship with my spiritual leader at that time. My husband and I came from two different worlds. Both his parents were Christians, his dad the main pastor of the church. My husband never really drank, partied, never slept around and lived a pretty godly life. Well mine was quit the opposite. So when we later started to have feelings for each other it was definitely awkward but very strong and real. For the first year and a half we had to keep our relationship secret. there were certain circumstances why but it definitely took its toll on me. I already had major trust issues so you can only imagine how this made me feel. So finally after 3 years of waiting he finally married me. Got to say I didn't believe he was actually going to and honestly was shocked when he did. But he did and we were truly in love. A love I can't even explain and almost every time we would get together before marriage the presence of the Holy Spirit was strong which connected us even more. Well as soon as we got married I got pregnant right off the bat. We wanted one child together and I wasn't suppose to have have any more after that. The first year of marriage I worked and he just worked at the church. The pregnancy was VERY hard on me. I was constantly sick, stressed because I worked an hour away and was a manager. When I got home I would make dinner for the kids and husband and then I would just basically crash because I could do no more. Well my husband was constantly making me feel bad for not touching him and falling asleep almost every night. I was just tired. So then as soon as I had the first baby, a few months later I was pregnant. I was devestated at first because one I wasn't really suppose to have anymore, and two my last pregnancy was so hard on me. But I knew the baby was a blessing from God and I made it through but didn't work this time. I had a new baby and other kids in school but did pick up a couple shifts if I needed to. Well same story the next year. We fought, he would tell me how unaffectionate I was. How i never touched him. But in all honestly the first and second year while pregnant I sacrificed many times and painfully sacrificed my body towards the end of pregnancy if you know what I mean. No I didn't do it all the time because sometimes I would just literally pass out of exhaustion. So when I had second baby are marriage was already very damaged. My attitude and stress didn't help but we would fight all the time. I would try to say you can't hold the first two years against me I was pregnant and sick. But it was useless. He said it didn't matter and it was just an excuse. Well not to long after that I found things he was doing and caught him in lies. I was so angry and upset, and just having a baby my hormones were crazy I went off and couldn't believe he did this to me. I couldn't handle it. So days later he apologizes we hug kiss and we are going to move on. Well something else happened that he still won't be honest about to this day. Well when I went to confront him about it, he called my family and said I was crazy and lying and he left me and my kids. He actually got his stuff and left. Months later we reconcile because I was the one begging for him to come back and be with me which is WAY WAY WAY out of character. But I loved him and I didn't want to imagine life without him. He came back And it's been a downhill spiral from there. I know I'm probably making him out to some horrible guy but he's not as bad as it may seem I guess. He truly loves the Lord more than anyone I've ever seen, he's an amazing father, and he is very well liked by many. He works full time and I'm here with the kids. I'm miserable, I'm not violent by any means but I raise my voice at the kids to much, I get so frustrated very easily, I'm unhappy, and I'm depressed. My husband and i fight constantly, I'm never in a good mood. I've been crying out for help but can never get the time to get it. I never have a break, I have no family or friends to help, I do nothing for myself. The only break I get is when my husband gets home late in the evening I get to go to walmart to shop. I can't even cry anymore I'm so numb. My heart has turned cold, I've pretty much just given up. I know what my answer is, and I know the only love that can heal me and pull me out of this pit. But im constantly taking care of kids, not sleeping, being told how unaffectionate and terrible I am by my husband. I know my attitude sucks but I just don't even care anymore because i feel like it's always going to be something. I know I have issues and I know I'm miserable to around I'm sure, but I'm just so sick of hearing how I've always been this way, everyone knows how I am, my family knows it, that's why I have no friends, I'm so terrible. I'm tired of hearing everyone knows how awesome my husband is, he was never like this until he meet me, people know it's all me not him. On and on. Yes I'm terrible yes I have issues, yes I've done wrong and have had no respect for my husband, but I've just given up. I never felt good enough for him anyway. No matter what I did in the beginning, I felt like it was never good enough. Those are my feelings, and that may just be my issues I have but I seriously have no one to turn to. No one to talk to. No one. Im damaged, I've damaged my husband more so now than ever when he needed me the most because he's losing a very close loved one. But I can't be there I don't know what to do.

I couldn't even read your wall of text. My eyes kept crossing. :( In order for more people to be able to read your post, could you please use paragraphs next time? :) I was able to read the last few lines, where you say you have "absolutely no one" to talk to. What about God? You have HIM to talk to. :)

Oh goodness what a mess.
I will start with your husband first because I have more to say about him.
I dont even know where to start.
There is a commandment for the Men.. Love your wife AS Christ loved the church
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

which by his actions he clearly does NOT take serious. Also keeping in mind that submission is a two way street. He is called to submit to your needs, as he is to yours and NOT making u do all the work and then holding against you when you crash.
If the man is a believer, the man is responsible as the spiritual head of the household to make sure your okay, got what you need, grow in Christ and edified. The man is the head of the household and the woman is the heart
1 Peter 3:7
[FONT=&quot]7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.[/FONT]
not forgetting verse 10 and 11
[FONT=&quot]10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.[/FONT]


In my eyes by what you wrote (which I dont know his side of the story) he is not taking his responsibility as head of the household.
He should help you to live godly and edify you in love and respect. Not holding things against you where he, if he would have been a man, could have helped you. And this is absolutely sad.. so sad

Now sister. I am sorry you and the kids have to deal with this mess.
I see that obviously your struggling not just because of your situation, but also because you have not healed from things in the past either.
Of course raising your voice all the time and all that is not okay, but I see that in this picture, as he didnt do what he should do by God, you should not feel at fault. A godly husband he is not. Nor does he love God for who loves God will keep his commandments. He loves himself and pitying instead of doing what is right.
He should help you and know you and I am sorry that your going through this.. this seems like emotional abuse to me.

And this is holding you back from healing and getting better and yourself under control. Take some time for yourself. May sound dumb for a teen to say that but you really need to take some time for yourself and see your worth, which there is more than you think there is. You have to find your true identity, rather than trying to be someone who is being shaped, which is what he is indirectly doing/did. I will be praying for you

(and for all reading that...again I am not saying that she is blameless.. If thats what you read, go re read the comment)

Actually it's a common complaint for many on this site. So you will lose readers, and therefore people offering advice, by not creating paragraphs and adding spaces, for longer posts.

I was also not able to read your post, so i have nothing to offer, but hope you find something that does help. :)

So you stay home 24/7 with the kids? Can't you go outside with them, maybe to a park or somewhere so they can play and you can get some fresh air, and get out into the community? Also, if you want "wise counsel", consult your pastor or other officials. Maybe set up a play group with your kids and the kids of others in your church. :)

And Magenta, BLESS YOU for re-creating the OP with paragraphs. :eek:

Well, when it's not cold we are always outside. I started gardening last year and absolutely love it. When it's warm, we are outside. I guess it's hard to understand what's going on to get the point across as to why I am unable to receive godly counsel considering my pastors and any "other officials" are my husband and his father. But thanks for the advice anyway. I don't think or expect anyone on here to heal me, fix me, or feel sorry for me believe me. I know Who the fixer is, I know Who the healer is, I know the answer. Doesn't make it easier. I just wanted a "Christian" to hear me and give any advice if they had any. There's so much I have to keep inside and just to let it out without worrying who I need to trust does help a little I guess. And as far as setting up play dates with other people in the church. There isn't any. But again thanks for the advice

Blue is right. You need some time for yourself to recharge your batteries. Could your children visit nearby relatives or friends? Is there a pre-school where they could play with other children. Parents need now and then a rest from their children.

It sounds like both you and hubby have "damaged" each other with your attitudes and behaviors. So this isn't entirely only on you. Have HIM stay home for a couple days and see what it's like to take care of 3 or 4 kids.. Guarantee his attitude will change real quick..lol

No family, no close friends. I have been saying I need a break for a year now. Believe me I would if I could. But I can't right now. My husband did buy me a plane ticket to go see my mom in march by myself. I know it may help. I don't know what I'll do with myself. Lol. But it won't fix everything for sure. I wish I had close godly friends I could confide in. But I just need to get out of this depressing mindset and set my mind on JESUS again. I know what He's done for me before, it's just much more complicated for whatever reason. Although it's so simple. Lol.

I have read many stories similar to yours about marrying into a family that has leadership positions in church and for some reason they are never happy. I believe that some of the persons in leadership in church have an unrealistic view on marriage.

No, you are not a terrible person and your husband is not always Mr. Wonderful. The fact that you kept your relationship secret at first leads me to suspect that your husband's father is not Rev. Wonderful either.

Overall, my estimation is that there are those, primary your husband, that at times are grossly insensitive to your needs as a mother and a wife.

I can't even cry anymore I'm so numb. My heart has turned cold, I've pretty much just given up. I know what my answer is, and I know the only love that can heal me and pull me out of this pit. But im constantly taking care of kids, not sleeping, being told how unaffectionate and terrible I am by my husband. I know my attitude sucks but I just don't even care anymore because i feel like it's always going to be something. I know I have issues and I know I'm miserable to around I'm sure, but I'm just so sick of hearing how I've always been this way, everyone knows how I am, my family knows it, that's why I have no friends, I'm so terrible. I'm tired of hearing everyone knows how awesome my husband is, he was never like this until he meet me, people know it's all me not him. On and on. Yes I'm terrible yes I have issues, yes I've done wrong and have had no respect for my husband, but I've just given up. I never felt good enough for him anyway. No matter what I did in the beginning, I felt like it was never good enough. Those are my feelings, and that may just be my issues I have but I seriously have no one to turn to. No one to talk to. No one. Im damaged, I've damaged my husband more so now than ever when he needed me the most because he's losing a very close loved one. But I can't be there I don't know what to do.
My heart goes out to you. Sounds like you need a break. Do you know why God sent Jesus? He sent Him so we no longer have to carry around our guilt. It's hard to be a blessing when you feel like a curse. I have four children and they will suck the life out of you if you let them. I'm in the process of getting them to be more responsible for themselves because if you keep doing stuff for them they just expect it. I had to start saying, "This is not my problem." Taking on everybody's problems leaves you tired and depressed. I let them make the choice and then let them fail, and learn. It's harder for my wife because she shares in their successes and failures. She is coming around.

Quit thinking that you aren't good enough. Obviously your husband wanted to spend the rest of his life with you so you must be awesome! Some men need to be constantly edified. Perhaps they didn't get the message that they are good enough growing up, being continually criticized (this is more common that you would think as a preacher's kid). One way they get this is sexual fulfillment. Even just a soft touch, or kiss. It communicates that we are desirable. Being desirable translates to value. In essence it gives us a sense of self worth. Other ways that you can give this to your husband is by not challenging him. If you question or criticize what he says and does, then you communicate that he is a poor leader and less valued. This is why God tells women to respect their husband, that's how we are wired. We want cheerleaders, not doubters. A cheerleader is a powerful thing and men will adore a woman who stands behind him. You want your husband to feel powerful, it makes him a better leader.

Find a woman to talk to and go for walks or something to get out of the house. I can get into how this effects the hormones but just know that it helps. By the way, welcome to CC, it's good to have more messed up people around like us. We are all works in progress, thank God for grace. Just don't forget to extend it to yourself!
