Thanks. It Is difficult to go through, but maybe that's because I am learning from it.
I was naggy and pushy at times, I wanted him to not bring home his work, I didn't keep up with the house like I should have, I probably spent money on stuff that either we didn't need or we could have waited on, and I didn't have a good relationship with his family.

I am very aware of that my ex-wife petitioned for a one party no fault divorce and there was nothing I could legally do about it. She even put a restraining order on me to prevent me from trying to reconcile. Afterwards, I got asked to leave our former Assemblies of God associated Church because they didn't allow adulterers or divorced men to worship with them. So it is what it is, life goes on.
My ex saw an add in a local Christian newspaper from a marriage counselor who turned out to be a divorced woman. What my ex was told was something like; "If you are unhappy in your marriage it separates you from God and that's a sin. It's better to get a divorce and ask for forgiveness than to stay in an unhappy marriage. God wants you to be happy."
My ex was really bi-polar. She's married to a Catholic now.

Oh, I don't care. But it's quite a switch from an AG preachers kid to the RCC. But since we weren't Catholics they don't consider that she was ever married and so neither our marriage or divorce ever meant anything.
She sent me the kids so I truly got the best part of the deal. No complaints about that.

You are free to remarry. Your husband is a SCUMBAG for doing that to you, absolute human filth I got zero respect for someone like that they are below animals in my books!
I hope and pray you get full custody and a GOOD HUSBAND that you deserve. I really appreciate your good spirit even in this terrible situation that you STILL wanna try and figure it out, THAT PROVES TO ME, you were the loyal one that kept it real the WHOLE TIME.
Btw I can guarantee that your husband's next relationship will FAIL miserably, thats what always happens to guys like that who start fooling around. Your heart is in the RIGHT PLACE for praying and doing everything in your power to keep the marriage together and not only that I got RESPECT for you for STILL being willing to FORGIVE HIM and look past that. I know you are a bigger person than me for that, I could never let that slide I would be too heartbroken
TAKE A LOOK LADIES at shrimp, thats a GODLY Christian woman right there. A true WARRIOR, YOU CAN BE SURE shrimp that God will reward you for all of this.

............. You out here defending a cheater good stuff hey. Unbelivable.
It doesnt matter WHAT the wife has done or NOT DONE, it does not excuse ADULTERY or CHEATING on someone. But hey, aint you a catholic? That goes with the territory I guess. We already know what your priests are about.

Hello shrimp,
Sorry to hear about this. Perhaps you could ask the mods to move it to the Family Forum. It would be best to ask your pastors or elders as to how you should handle this. Divorce is always tragic, but only those who know you personally, and know of your situation first hand, can advise you properly.

The part in Matthew you highlighted is most likely translated loosely. The word for woman is mostly used for wife. So it makes more sense that Jesus stated that anyone who looks at a wife lustfully already commited adultery. The other way pretty much condemns anyone with a healthy amount of testosterone. Regardless, pornography is still lust of the flesh. It’s just not adultery, as many would argue.

Sorry for your pain. Hindsight is 20/20 and everyone can look back to see how they could have been wiser. There’s no point dwelling on it. As painful as it is, sometimes we need to just pick ourselves up and keep moving. You need to be strong for your children. Over doesn’t always have to be “over”. If you really want to be who you claim then try not to be adversarial and bitter. If he is a good father then let the children still have a good father. I’m not saying give up custody but be fair. If he has good qualities then think of those instead of how he hurt you. When he sees that you can be his cheerleader instead of an enemy, you would be surprised how fast a heart can melt.
