1 | Of course I'm bitter! You would be too. | 1 Cor 7:5 | mpa | 66645 | ||
I'm always astounded that when I ask my question about my wife breaking God's Word, the answers I get involve my responsibility. Heaven forbid that she should be held accountable for 20 years of pushing her husband away! Heaven forbid that she is the one who is disobedient and actually tempting me to commit adultery! Why do my Christian brothers and sisters never even act like they hurt for my lose? When, after two decades of this and now being pushed into sleeping in a spare bed-room, is the responsibility put on her? What she has done in my mind is a form of adultery, by not cleaving to the one she made vows to. She is the one who has broken her marital vows to cleave to her husband, while demanding now that I sleep in another room because she's more comfortable. Stop telling me that I have to do something. She won't go to counseling. She won't repent because she doesn't think she has done anything wrong. I'm not unattractive, fat, etc. I'm considered good looking and I even bathe daily!!! I have an attractive personality and most people enjoy being around me. It makes me angry that the counsel I get from my Christian brothers and sisters always puts this monkey on my back. I've carried this monkey alone, without help or encouragement to the point of exhaustion. Don't worry. I'll probably not divorce her. It's too late in life and too costly. And if she proceeds me in death I probably won't marry again. But if I did chose to divorce her on the grounds of 2 decades of her unfaithfulness, I defy you to condemn me as sinning. SHE IS THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL! I won't marry again, not because of fear that it would be adultery. This marriage has been enough heart ache. Thanks everyone for all of your understanding and so-called Biblical counsel. Maybe you ought to consider finding the spirit of the law as much as you are committed to finding the letter of the law. Your lonely and heart-broken brother. By-the-way, is there anyone out there who has spent two decades in marital abstinance who wants to tell me I need to try harder? MPA | ||||||
2 | Of course I'm bitter! You would be too. | 1 Cor 7:5 | Cyclist | 66652 | ||
mpa, All praise and glory and honor be to God our Father who created the heavens and the earth and the seas and all that there is therein, things not made with hands! And to Jesus Christ God's only begotten Son who thought not of Himself but gave His life for our sins, who's name is named above every name in heaven and earth! Welcome to the forum! This is a wonderful place to study God's word! There are many here on this forum that are regulars that are very knowledgable of the word of God, very loving, and are concerned for the needs of all brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Unfortunately, it is difficult, even for the elders of this forum, to offer or provide counselling. Noting that your are obvioulsy angry and bitter, I'm sure that any advise given to you from us would not be accepted. We can only provide what is written in God's word, our interpretaion of it, sometimes commentary from noted authors, prayer for your situation, and a love for you as a brother in Christ. Please seek a Christian counselor or Pastor to help you. I shall pray for you. In the love of Christ Jesus our Lord, your brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
