…. Naw I just a married a woman that puts up with my crap lol
… took awhile to find one that would lol Sounds like me when people ask me, "How are you?" I answer, "She still puts up with me, so life is good."
We are living in a world where the intelligent must be quiet so that the no common sense people won't be offended.

This thread has truly opened my eyes to the selfishness of some men. Men that have taken vows and promised their bride they would be there for her. Now, some saying divorce is the best thing done in their life. Many profess to be be Christ followers but in trials and tribulations spout out to get the best lawyer they can afford and are driven on material possessions. It truly saddens me to know that so many men have not loved their brides even in the dark times and learned to fight on their knees and allow the Lord to lead them to love their brides even when they don't deserve it. See, I don't deserve it. I am a dirty rotten lying adulterer at heart but only by the blood of Jesus have I been forgiven and learned to love. Love without limitations. Love without being hung up on material possessions and thinking I am owed this or that. I can't control my next heartbeat - but I can try and exert self control and show love to even those that offend, ridicule, and dismiss. Most of you are right - I have no idea what you are going through. But I do know - there is no justification that will ever make it right. Jesus even spoke on it due to the hardening of your hearts. I pray some of you men allow God to soften your hearts so you can allow the love of Christ to overwhelm you and you have the ability to love others unconditionally. I know you mean well but you are achieving nothing and infact appearance is becoming more Self Righteous Than helping. There are a few listed examples valid reasons for divorce directly in the bible and others in paul aluded to like Abandanment. Good for you If you choose to live life miserable. O wait that's is not you so easy to get all high and mighty. "I would never" self promotion validation. Then your Judjment on how other think. But you fail to see it. The largest turn off I hear about the church from non believers Is how Christians are all hypocrites. They seem to think becuse someone is a Christian they should be perfect. Not one of us is worthy of the gift freely given, we can't buy it , can't earn it. Your additude and self righteous is exactly what they are talking about. Many try to act like Jesus was a push over. Over looking his whipping the money changers and flipping the tables over. Not exactly a talking to or turn the other cheek. No that was righteous Anger Sure is easy to say what you would or would not do when your not the one in the situation and don't have 40 years worth of info. only what you believe you learned in a few minutes. Hear is my turn to be judgmental. "I would never no mater what" Is a very sad man asking to have no respect and be walked on. Women need/want a Strong man with boundaries a leader to head the home. That is for all life wife, children, friends, co workers. What good are boundaries or even laws if there are no consequences. Yes trying to work things out is the priority. But 2 people have free will and one wishing can't change the other. Pray your heart out GOD can fix it , BUT that free will thing comes into play and if one doesn't want to fix anything? If it's all about GODs will and plan where does that leave free will? Is there any free will at all. 330 he didn't answer becuse those are hard questions to answer and take a lot of time, study, prayer, and self reflection to get into. At least that would be my guess. Best to give deep though and reflection vs a quick answer and have regrets. Or it's just to hard and bi passed. Either are as likely as the other I would have to spend a lot of time trying to find answers to those questions and would still never be sure if I was 100% corect. I grew up With Baptist Grand father on one side and on the other side Was Assembly of god. The church I was Raised in. I know in my heart that I've tried. I would reconcile, I would get counseling. She won't~ it's done. Thank you providence farm for your input

This sucks as always....
My first wife left me because I was a blood thirsty killer, this was 95 I think
No lawyers at all, I gave her everything in the house, my 401 k, and 800 a month
I started over completely, payed her the 800 a month for 2 years
Funny part and no lies or anything,
She got engaged 2 years later and asked me to borrow some$$
For her honeymoon, been called a fool more than once in my life
I loaned her the money, I was crying from the laughter
And I had to pay for the divorce lol

TBD wants to "Stone me" but I should stay here for 20 more years. How did I get dragged into this? lol Look, everyone knows you're not exactly my favorite moderator, Scott. Most people also know I am not the most religious. So, you're kinda asking the wrong person here. You've been somewhat evasive about who wanted the divorce, and why. Without knowing all the details, it's kinda hard to comment. In general, I tend to like to see marriages work. I think these days people are awfully quick to jump to divorce. I've never been divorced... but judging from my parents... I honestly think they both would have been happier in life had they tried harder and made it work. But every situation is different and we do not know yours. Is there someone else in your life? Someone else in hers? Sometimes people would be happier with someone else. The religion aspect really doesn't play into it for me at all..... if there is a God, there are many, many reasons I'll be burning in hades.... getting divorced would just be a minor sin in my lifetime of sin. I wouldn't even consider it in my decision-making process.

TBD I came home one day and the wife said she was leaving, I fought for a year to keep our family together. What was I supposed to do kill her?
one has to cut bait and run and protect him or herself and children.
Get back to us when your 80, until then get off your pompous butt.
As a side note I got stuck with old fashioned values and believe marriage is forever. I suspect I'll stay single unless she gets hit by a bus.

Hmmmm........ever hear "Love Your Neighbor ?" ......Blessed are the meek (humble), for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 7 : 4-5 Or how can you say to your brother, "'let me take the speck out of your eye', when there is a log in your own eye ? Seems to me, you're walking a bit proud and self righteous !

When you PM'd me You answered 1 of my questions
What about these that you Skipped over?
And don't tell me you'd pray about it.
:God forgave the murderer he can and would forgive me even if I re- married.
Did he forgive King David? Who sent a woman's husband to be killed on the front lines.
How about concubines? How about Saul How about Abraham and Sarah's handmaiden?
Im only human - Not married to a submissive woman
You cannot pretend to understand my situation" Scott David repented, and God forgave him but still took the life of his child. God punished Moses, too, who was forbidden from entering the Promised Land. God forgives those who repent, and often penance is still demanded. You were brought up Protestant and perhaps your divorce is justified on biblical grounds, according to the belief system of your upbringing. I don't know your situation and it's none of my business if you don't want to share. If the one who initiates the divorce goes on to remarry, though, that doesn't look much to me like repentance.

Going through some bad times here now too. I have one divorce in my past and that was for the best for both of us. Now my wife (2nd) is going through menopause and refuses to do any thing or hardly ackknowlegdes it, it's my fault I'm told. I have enough with this medical, I'm terminal with End Stage Kidney Failure. I have to do life support in the evenings, dialysis, I'm told it's quite common for folks in my condition to get short tempered and ornery so I really try to keep that under control, but when the sceeching mwnopausal banshee comes out it is very trying. and of course it's my fault. We went through this years back with a birth contro she tried, deproprovera (something like that) changed her just like this, ened uop she went back to her folks and in time could see the problem and quit and got to be her old self,which is why we married we really are a good team so neither one wants adivorce but may have to do what wwe did before and she just go back to her folks to realign. The first time wee were not yet married now we have thirty years, two children annd property and such so if needed seperation is way better than divorce, as long as there's no dating or fooling around, then some time apart could heal all Have you considered a seperation for a time, call it trial divorce or trying to recocile either way I think it's worth trying
