I'm so ashamed because I feel like if I were a different person, I'd be able to handle these things ...but I can't. I pray and pray and pray but my mind is full of torment while i await some answer or relief. I don't know what the future holds ...my husband has left and I don't know when or if he'll have me back. I've lost my job and my home over this and am having to live off of the charity of my parents at 43 years of age.
It took me a year to start over the last time he left. Starting with nothing, the Lord helped me out with a car and a job ..then furniture and an apartment. Here I am, 8 months later, having lost it all again, because I just couldn't do it anymore after he left. My husband feels we have fundamental differences because I see the gay lifestyle as sinful. He claims to be saved, but feels that he needs to explore and clear his head to know if he wants to come back to me or find a man. He feels he'd be happier with a man but has not completely rejected the possibility of his mind being changed ...thing is, he wants God to change it by divine intervention feeling that otherwise, he cannot control how he feels and must be happy. He expects God to change his mind, otherwise, he feels it must be His will since He allowed this to happen to him. He doesn't want to be "reprogrammed", as he puts it and rejects any Christian counselling.
We've been together since high school, and he's changed. He was so kind and loving ....now, rather hard and selfish. He says he still loves me and i keep hanging on because I love him and he's all I have and I'm the only one able to really petition God for him. Meanwhile, I don't know what to do with my life, while I wait and hope for him to return. I just want to die and can't function without him.
Please pray for both of us. I have no one to talk to and He seems to want to seek answers out in the world.
