I know it may be hard for some to believe that Dan, but as stated in post #5...been there done that. "It is better to live in a corner of a roof than in a house shared with a contentious woman". Sometimes it just does not work out, and for myself the biggest reason for my separation was the raising of the children and the abuse I endured from them and their mom. I was raised with discipline and a respect for my parents (spare the rod?.. nope... I got it!). When a parent will not be compromising when it comes to the raising, discipline and overall obedience of a child to his/her parents, teachers, and others in general when the other parent busts his/her tail for them all just to pretty much be able to tell him/her to go stick it and speak however they want with no "fear" of consequences can push many to the point of NOT wanting to work things out. I love my children and their mom, but would I ever want to live with them again? Not in this life. Brother Sirk, it will all work out. May God bless.

There were lots of meetings of the minds. In the end she made the decision to pull the plug. I had made the choice to stay...that it was my obligation to stay...I made a vow. No matter how abusive they were... I had made the decision to stay....to continue to see our pastor together and try to work it out. My pastor was actually beginning to hold her feet to the fire regarding consistency with her son.
When I was told of her choice there was a switch in me that went to "off". After all the "coded" divorce talk...when she finally came out with it...it was the end and my heart for her went cold instantly. I honestly didn't even know my heart would do that and I didn't plan it...but it did. The truth is that I only asked her one time if she was sure of her choice....she said yes. That was the end of the road for me.

yes, standing in the gap should always be an automatic reaction until we know for sure that all is lost,
a most important thing is for us know for sure that we have done our best in each situation,
the good ones or the bad ones and that we traveled each and every avenue available to try our best to
save what we thought God had joined together....else the old baggage will always tag along behind us...
as 'atwhatcost' has said, our prayers should be for all concerned for all are victims, bar none....

I am new here on this forum and I know that divorces are not the way the Lord would have it. Sometimes, life goes in the direction that we don't want, they don't want, and God would not have. But, God would not have had to make the choice to have his only son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross either if all earthly situations happen the way God would smile at. Jesus Loves us all and He gives us the strength to walk and live onward in his strength. He loves us don't forget .
Sirk, I am so very sorry. On social media I've been known to rant against divorce and how people just throw things away and selfish... I know in my heart it's more complex than that. There are couples who try very hard and sometimes the desire to even try is not mutual.
When I see stories about divorce, I try to remember to keep my pride in check, keep communication open and listen to him. Far greater couples than us have failed and it's good for all of us to remember that we are not above stumbling.
Blessings.
