Hi .. I am new to the group, joined to really get in touch with Christian people, going through one of the worst times in my life ... don't know where to turn to how to carry on into this dark uncertain future ahead of me. Only know that I believe in God and this is my desperate attempt for fellowship in a time that I sometimes feel I cannot pray any longer. Is there a specific forum on the page that I can join for some kind of spiritual support ... in a process of divorce?
I noticed last night various discussions on divorce. When allowed when not allowed.
Well in short here is my story....
Married 18 years, two beautiful healthy boys age 10 and 15. Known my husband for 21 years. He is a fearless person, very adventurous and the love of my life. Both of us is healthy and has a lot to be thankful for.
He grown up in a very expressive Christian family, and was bombarded by Christian activity throughout his years of childhood. His family is very judgemental about the way people life their lives. I on the other hand came out of a balanced Christian home ... one where not much was always said about faith but where my fathers hands on his bible every night before bed is etch in my memory from childhood. My family is not judgmental, and this actually caused quite a bit of fights when we started dating. My family are also more expressive about everyday life and don't back away from confronting anyone if needed. My husbands family steps away from confrontation. My family is a close bunch. His family none of them speak to each other they are all mad about various things but never speak about it, and all defend their position with some scripture.
Thing is when I met my husband we met through church and a commune Christian association. He seemed so sincere in his Christianity, turned out it was living the way he was indoctrinated.
He started to question religion, various other things were experimented on ... he wanted to divorce me five years ago, said he do not feel emotionally safe with me, I refused to divorced, did everything I could to "win" him back and it went fairy well after that, Told me four days back again he wants a divorce, again the not emotionally safe line and that he do not believe in God anymore ... do not believe in life after death ... he only has one life and he wants to live it to full.
It feels as though the world has stopped turning for me, I find it hard to breath, pray. I feel utterly alone have no... no idea how to deal with this anymore.
Most bazar thing is that I am always the one that wanted to talk about things, asked him to coffee breaks ect ... now he is the one not feeling emotionally safe. When I ask him for examples he can give me none, how can I work on something if I don't know what to work on.
Don't know if any of this will make sense to any one, just know that I feel as though air is running through my vanes.
He wants out marriage to end with the least discomfort for everyone!

I am so sorry to hear this. I know exactly what you are going thru, I was with my husband for 10 years and he walked away one day, every moral and value he ever knew flew out the window and he left me for another woman who has broken up numerous other marriages. I do have to say, that it gets better, but I know you don't want to hear that. There is nothing that you can do, but pray. God is the only person that can change his heart and just trust God that HE WILL!!!! I have face my mom dieing at 16 and me faced cancer at 19 and we miscarried twins at separate times and had an ectopic pregnancy and yet,.....my husband leaving changed everything of who I was. I went into deep depression and even committed adultery myself after he left me, when I was still married. I can just feel your tears and your heartbreak, but just know that GOd is wiping away your tears and ask him to hold you during this time!!! I am here if you ever want to talk, or vent....Im a venter myself........you can message me if you want!

Hello, I haven't looked at the new member forum here in a while. For some reason I looked tonight and pulled up yours. I went through a rough divorce in 2006. I have two kids girl 12 boy 16 so I understand what it's like when kids are involved. I also know what it's like when the other person places all the blame on you but will not talk about it or explain.

I am not one of those "candy coat" Christians. I know it's not easy and I know there is no simple "one for all" answer but I do know God's love for us. I do know God cares for us. I do know it's all for the glory of God. And I do know He will never leave you or forsake you. If you want to talk you can send me a private message. I will respond and I will do my best to help you through this. God is the one who gives us strength in these difficult times.

"i might be appearing rude.
we think i hope not to offend you."
"excuse me english, how i try, act, One Knows what."

there's love for you.
don't be broken!
Christ Is The Resurrection And The Life, and you got kids!

"i got something to the prayer part. i have no idea how you spend your time, just to how we are told to pray, we think there's some slash, no separation to the Active Church Body Being. "Blessing from Blessing."

and recent piece at me recently, "who knows what extent it might go to or where":
God Head of man, man head of woman. man not to cover his head when praying, woman to cover hers? (i might not know the second verse.)
Mediator One. what did He Say?
(those verses? is it not an end at all if your gent wanders? did you have him enough? it's after sundown here, and "i dare write what might say i'm not at a cool chair." ..so man not to separate what High Put Together, but He's well allowed to Carry On :)

did you read bible together? has he been shown verses that could help?

God Knows who is married.
God Himself Made All things New.
