I am so sorry you are suffering like this. Is there any chance that your wife would consider counseling? A good, Christian counselor could be a huge help in a situation like this. I wish I had better advice for you. I have had struggles in my marriage but, nothing like what you are going through.

Keep praying, I will also be praying for you, your wife, and your children.

God Bless.

About 6 months ago my spouse of 17 years, told me that she didn't love me anymore and that she wanted to separate/divorce me. I have been willing to reconcile and she has become very hard hearted. We have three kids that are having to deal with all of this and it breaks my heart that they are having to go through all of this. I am struggling with anxiety and depression over all of this and I am struggling financially. The kids are going to be in my custody for 6 months out of the year,and I don't know how I am going to make it. I want the best for them and I really want to save my marriage but she is so unwilling. I am so frustrated with all of this.
I do not have an answer for this problem. This type of thing is becoming rampant only due to the conditioning of thinking that is prevalent in our modern society. Everything is throw-away. If we do not think something is fulfilling our every whim, we toss it aside. I have known other guys in your situation, where the woman thinks that the grass is greener elsewhere. When they find themselves "elsewhere" it is not so green anymore and this goes for men as well, who leave their spouses for younger, firmer, tight skinned women. Sooner or later, reality catches up with them and usually it is too late, for the "new" stuff becomes "old" stuff, but sooner than the original stuff did.
It becomes a never ending cycle.......always wanting the new shiny thing, but it does not stay new and shiny.
Lives are ruined by this type of thinking. It is bad for children and bad for the husbands and wives.
Upon marriage, we make promises to one another, for life. If we cannot keep them, we had no business presenting them in the first place.
I feel for you my brother. I wish I had the words to resolve this for you, but I do not.
I wish your wife would see the whole picture, for when she gets back to Heaven, she may not feel so righteous as she does now.
Wanting is something quite different after all than is having.
May God hear your prayers and answer them to your liking. Love you, bro.

I don´t know about others... If a person wants to leave, I left them or I permitted to be left.

Children do not glue a torn relationship. The real concern is children welfare.

I have lost hope. Tonight's talk with her did not go well. I am wounded deeply. I wish there was comfort. Instead just sadness.
Be strong brither. There are many things ahead. Grow obçvr the pain. I know you can!

Such a painful place to be in, dear brother, feeling trapped by the other person's unwillingness to even try making things work, especially for a christian who wants to honor God and to not give up so easily. I've known the pain of this awful "separation zone" where you feel like your life i's held captive to someone else's will and you fear God too much to rush into cutting the rope.

I have learned that when someone loves you, if they ever truly cared, they will not brush off an opportunity to seek counseling and mediation, to seek solutions. When someone has hardened themselves and starts making excuses not to even try, the sad reality is that they probably made that decision long ago. Long before you ever woke up and saw them departing.

If she won't even be bothered to try, then her objective is not about fixing the marriage but getting her way. Only God can break that hardness, but you should not let your own soul become ensnared in her emotions or decisions. I pray for God to give you relief, fast, i'd hate for you to feel like your heart is hanging in the air for too long, it's an awful place to be.

Dear brother, i know that the devorce is the worse. I think now that you love your wife more than its nessesery. In my country people often do idols from people. I dont want to stress you but make sure you didnt idolized her. If there is adultery and she merry another you can do nothing but stay single. Your children always will be yours and to tell you the truth children often comfort the suffering parent. God always provide a comfort. Its good to suffer because when you are weak you are strong! God bless you
