Im a sinner, Raised in the AG Church
Because of Rogue preachers Ive lost much of my belief in Organized Church
No matter what happens- I pray each night for God's forgiveness
I believe in Christ, the Holy spirit and God the Father.
If Christ can forgive a murderer hanging on the cross next to Him
I can be forgiven for my sins.
But right now Ive been using "cattle moving language " too much

I appreciate you Swamp,our resident former GW a lot.


Sincerely,Scott

Why are we all assuming here that it is his wife that wants the divorce? From what I have read, it sounds more to me like it was his idea, due to her gambling problem? Maybe I'm missing something all the rest of you are seeing....

No...SW didn't!

Savell....that was crude to blame me for something you posted & bring me into this.

I have intentionally NOT commented on this thread. I know what 330 is going thru. I've been down that rough road and its no fun. It was the most mentally distressed I've ever been in my life. God is the only reason I made it thru it. I never thought much about God or knew much about Jesus before my divorce, but I know for a fact they are the MAIN reason I'm still here today. For me, this was back in 1989-90. It changed my life.

This is an extremely personal situation in someone's life. I know 330 is just needing to talk about it and this is why he posted it on Tman. I feel your pain.

My only advice to 330 is to try and maintain yourself......mentally and physically. The trouble will pass...hold it together.

Prayers for you from me.

Are you in a no contest state? Anything of value you have that she doesn't have tabs on needs to disappear now.

Or you will give her half in mediation...Anything you owned before the marriage is pre-marital property and is yours, anything your family gave you is off limits unless you put her name on it, and might be still if you get the right attorney & judge.

Don't talk to her alone, don't be around her alone, get away from her asap....Don't text her, don't talk to her on the phone without knowing it's probably being recorded.

Retain the best attorney you can, but being a man they can only minimize, your not going to win, your going to survive.

Been there twice, and things are going good now, but it can all change tomorrow for anyone, anytime, anyplace...She's not your friend, she doesn't love you, and she will be a viscous bovine before this is over I promise you.

Goodluck brother, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

It's Both of us Now

Like I said, fight for 40 yrs and wounds don't heal.
We both had our issues

Scott,
I wasn't raised in church.Never was exposed to the word of God or the Gospel of Jesus thru-out most of my life. What little I know I learned from reading the Bible. When I got to the New Testament and the words written in red......it was the most overwhelming thing I've ever experienced.

Prayer is powerful. I will continue to pray for you.

What God sees is not what man sees. Keep the faith!

It's Both of us Now

Like I said, fight for 40 yrs and wounds don't heal.
We both had our issues

Mine want one about every other month…..

Can you blame her?

Well don't beat yourself up over it then ....day at time , look forward to what's next ..... And Cow driving language ain't all bad once in awhile .


Prayers for peace and a sound mind

Again Scott, good luck.

As always family is the most important thing. Keep your children in the loop so to speak and don't use them as a mediator.

Things are going to be awkward for a bit and you'll have to find a new normal.
