Bible Question: Is either husband or wife free to date another person while they are separated? Would this be adultrey? Does God allow divorce when you marry a controller, who is abusive, verbally, physically, mentally and doesn't want to leave you anything when he dies but wants you to leave him a car, lifetime estate to the house, and money to take care of it. His whole marriage proposal was about what I would give him and he said he had nothing to give me but that he was giving me himself. Well I was also giving him myself. He had a 12 year old and has led a real bad life and I was wife #4. I was married 39 years and my husband died. |
Bible Answer: ames: It is not that I am unsympathetic to your situation. I think you'll find that many people on this forum, including me, do care about you -- that you do matter. So please do not be offended or misunderstand me when I say: It is not advisable to attempt to use this forum for counseling. Please contact a trusted family member or qualified counselor.
