He also said

and went on and on about how he is free to remarry...

So I stand by remark
I don't know if you are married or not but if you were and your husband slept with fifty women behind your back would that make you sick to think of? Imagine me.

LOL!...I would know about it the first time he did it...and would not last until #50...

Please don't compare the rant in this thread to anything I or others would do because that is not a good comparison

The op is really out of line as both myself and others have expressed

He is very indignant...the whole thing reads like: "how could she do this to me...doesn't she know who I am?" and in the same breath he says he has every right to re-marry...this thread is all about him...he's a pk and this and that...oh pooey

so yeah, I stand by my remark

No she is not but that is the idea. I have come to a Christian site to get support and to get things off my chest to help heal. I am beyond hurt and am taking this time to vent. Had I been on here for therapy I would give my real name and hers and we can hash things out together. You have my side. Thats all you need.
huh...I have referred to 'the op' not seeing it is you...but as long as we are writing 'face to face', I would not give you 10 seconds of support with your attitude or the way you write about your wife

All I need is your side?

Yeah, that doesn't wash...and not to sound all preachy on you, but it doesn't wash with God either

If she has had sex with mulitple men, what are you waiting for? there is always the danger of stds and even aids

I can understand anger, but frankly, I have poured out my anger and outrage at certain things to God...and that helped me heal...I have also shared it with people but that just kept the circle going...

well if you chuckled, my work is done here

on the serious side, if I was any help at all, it was accidental...or shall we say God used it?

I totally get the adultery...my first husband was an adulterer's adulterer and I had to get checked out for stds myself...

But it never helped to complain about it...I had many long conversations with God and sometimes I still bring up the subject...

I did not really want a divorce and prob hung on too long..he was also physically abusive

We all have expectations...but people will always fail us and we fail others as well

Anyway, I do like to laugh and have found a sense of humor to be a big help

What good does having your side do for you except keeping you blind to your own shortcomings? Just try justifying your position before the Almighty God and see how far it'll get you. If you really desire for jesus to heal your heart then the focus should be on how you should be better vs how another is worse than you. We all deserve nothing except to be drop kicked straight into hell.

I have recently heard a sermon that stated a woman did not have to submit to her husband if he was mot living a Godly life. Is this biblical? My thoughts.... a woman does have to submit unless the husband is asking her to sin. By placing in the hands the option to submit by the woman you ate setting tbe marriage up for failure. Some women will use this against the husband and if he doesnt take out the trash she will not submit..... your thoughts.....

1 Pe 3:1-5

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
KJV



My opinion is only my opinion but above you have God's opinion. You won't find better advice.

The marriage relationship is mirrored after Christ's relationship with the church. Christ does not force us into submission, the husband should not force his wife into submission. Christ washed her feet, fed and clothed her, and was willing to die for her. If my husband loved me like Christ loves His Bride, I would want to submit to him, and the opposite is also true. If my husband leads me to do wrong I will not submit to that, because my first obligation is to God before anyone else. If he is leading biblically, I will submit to him cheerfully and willingly. Wives are to submit to their husbands as is fitting in the Lord. If it doesn't fit or match the relationship Christ has with His church, then it is not fitting to do so.

Now no one is even perfect in their relationship with God, so no one can expect you to be perfect with them either. If someone doesn't take the trash out one day, or is too tired to do the dishes until morning, does not give the other person a license to say "Well since you're not doing your part I don't have to do my part either." But if they have an attitude of never doing their part in the relationship, that should match Christ's relationship with His church, for example, I've seen people literally treat others worse than their dog, I would not respect such a person.


I'm tired, some of this may not make sense in the morning, lol.
