Thank you for your response. I have only ever wanted to be a wife and a mom. So long as I was those two things, I felt my life had purpose. I'm still a mom, of course, but I still long to be a wife to an amazing man. I might never get that desire fulfilled, in which case, I do hope the Lord...

Chickens. I love chickens.

I'm not sure why you'd ask that. It makes no sense in this discussion unless you're trying to assume something about me and my situation that you know nothing about. Why would you assume a couple in a terrible marriage would not "think" about marriage counseling? (Are you covertly calling...

You're really not the kind of Christian I care to talk to. You have no grace or compassion inside of you. Please find someone else to point your finger at. I'm ignoring you.

I don't know how to be single. That's not the same thing as what I was answering in the comment you replied to.

I'm so sorry! 😞 I hope he was a good husband to you and treated you well. That way, at least you have good memories of him.

I won't end up in another abusive relationship. My discernment is lightyears beyond what it was when I met my husband 25 years ago. I'm 46 now. I was 20 then. I know so much more now about what is healthy in a relationship and what isn't.

Abusers are notorious for the Jeckyl and Hyde act. They're super sweet and nice sometimes and then monsters at other times. It's why so many people stay so long in abusive relationships. During the nice times, the abused person has been gaslighted and manipulated so thoroughly that they actually...

I guess I did say something about comfort. I stand corrected.

I was with my abusive husband for 25 years. He completely drained all life out of me and I no longer recognized myself. He was not a father to our children, I was the only parent, yet I got all the criticism if he thought I was being a bad parent. Regardless of what the pharisees say, Christ...

I was the wife. I never said anything about living in comfort.

Thank you, I will do that. And, don't worry, I ignore people like 2Timothy. He doesn't worship Jesus Christ. He worships the same god the pharisees worshiped, and it's not the God of the Bible.

This was very helpful. I found a group nearby starting after the New Year. I'm going to try to go. Thanks for the info!

Thank you for your reply. He moved out at the end of October and the divorce is just in its starting phase. I'm not looking for a relationship anytime soon, I'd be no good to anyone right now. Plus i don't feel right looking before the divorce is final. (Because it isn't right.) There's been too...

I haven't been single in many, many years. It's new territory for me and I'm not sure I'm going to like it. But I also can't imagine ever finding the right one. (Obviously the last was NOT the right one. So many wasted years. Sigh.) How on earth do I do this? I already miss the comforts of...
