The only reason she called me yesterday is her and her ex have hit the rocks. She's got no intention of going back to him and I'm a "stand by replacement". She has this idea that I'm going to play those games. Which, of course, I'm not. Reconciling in our case is impossible. She cannot be trusted to do the right thing before the Lord. I know God hates divorce and I would have done anything else if I could have. But, she left me without warning, with an apartment full of stuff, and me unable to take care of myself. I had no idea what was wrong with me, since I hadn't been diagnosed. And she went to Vegas to her ex, on my dime. Having built up money secretly from an inheritance I had gotten from my dad. We were married for 6 1/2 years and it was constant lies on her part. She broke our marriage vows, I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The divorce was final in October. She was served all the correct paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about giving time to build trust again. Just as God is not through with Israel but will return to rule for 1000 years as her King, we should also consider reconciliation as God leads. It is not to be considered lightly. But if our hearts are right with God and ready to forgive, it must be at least something to be considered. Sometime God says yes, and sometimes it is not. God permitted divorce only because of the hardness of heart and hated divorce. Yet he Himself divorced Israel. He is not through with her but did so that we might be saved as gentiles. Reconciliation is impossible. I can't trust her would always be wondering which ex she was going to leave me for this time. As much as I hate divorce myself, I gotta follow through and not have her in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray that this attempt at reconciliation, be a catalyst toward fuller healing for you both. May you be granted those "better things in life" in abundance. I offer no "advice". I don't think you are asking for any, but are instead sharing a little of a hard time in life, with brothers and sisters. Cordially, Neighbor Healing will come, but its gonna happen with her out of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is. She stood before that alter with me and promised the Lord that she would be with me forever. As I promised her. The entire marriage all she talked about was her ex's. I felt like it was very crowded. And, according to scripture, I am free to remarry if that is God's will for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
