Ok well my ex and I have been separated for 6 years. In those years I have tried to keep a civil and respectable friendship going (I have two children to him).

Just recently, his mum, who has been ill for some time, passed away. I supported my ex as much as I could through it and afterwards for several weeks.

Now he is snubbing me. He tells me one thing and then goes off and does something else. He'll arrange with me to have the children for the weekend, and then I find out that he wasn't with them very much at all.

I'm soo worked up. I could throw something at him!

Ex husbands can be the biggest pain in the backside there is. Fortunately my ex and I didn't have any kids, but we were best friends after the divorce, moreso than in the marriage. He went thru some extremely rough times and I was always there for him, prayed really hard for him (and let him know it, even prayed for his girlfriend), we helped each other financially, and we were very close. We even talked about going into business together. But that was all before the girlfriend, who he had been broken up with, crooked her finger and he went running, others and consequences be damned. This was the same woman He had left me for, and I hadn't even known it at first. The same girl with very questionable character and morals.

Don't think that didn't tear my heart right out. He married her, and we had some phone contact for a while, but that didn't last long. I haven't seen or talked to him in several years but I have a hunch he's finding that this wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and I suspect he's miserable. He went to the bottom of the barrel after being a pillar of honesty and intergety, truthfullness and faithfulness.

So true; men say the same thing about ex-wives though. :emot-hug:

would you like me to start? :emot-hug:

I can top your "man" stories and raise you 4 kids!

No, I'm not really going to talk about it publicly but divorce isn't the end of a good relationship, it's usually the beginning of a really bad one.

I would not have survived without Yeshua holding me every step of the way. Ouch! I don't wish it on anyone though....especially kids.

I'm praying for you, Bolts.

hang in there...

The verse that got me through 2 years was; Heb 11:6 "He is a rewarder of those who seek Him"

You sound as you may still have some lingering feelings that you may need to release on to the LORD about your ex. GOD said that we must release the ones we love/care about unto HIM while trusting that HE will guide to what's best for them! all we are supposed to do is pray and release and be joyous over HIS will for them.................

Kat,

I'd be happy with a 'thank you' from him or even a tiny word of appreciation. When his mum got sick I was the first one he got in contact with to provide home aid for her. I didn't mind helping one bit as it gave his mum a chance to be with her grandchildren before she passed. I'd love to know why he is snubbing me. Why can't he be upfront with me????

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
