Hello. I am reaching out to chat with other Christians for wisdom and prayer. I am re-married, with children, to the long lost love of my life. After the stress of blending families and in-law differences, my husband chose to leave the marriage with his child within the first year of marriage. Our ideas of being a family are different, as he comes from a very involved extended family, and I do not. He also does not agree that the wife comes first, especially in a blended family. And discusses all issues with his family, from his point of view, to the point they disowned me with confrontation.
We have been separated over a year now and nothing seems to be improving. Every few weeks, we talk as he "tests the waters" and sometimes it goes well, unless I have a difference of opinion, then he shuts down and disappears. I know we love each other and we miss one another. Yet, he demands that I act a certain way in line with his family, and apologize to them, before he will consider reconciliation. I am hurt and discouraged and not sure where to go from here.
If anyone has been through a similiar experience or feels led to talk with me further, I welcome that. Thank you!
