Now, he believes Jesus saved him, but does not like the "hyprocrites in the church", does not go to church, does not pray with me, does not care that his 19 yr old daughter sleeps with her boyfriend, etc. He treats me as if I do not exist...he had a rough upbringing with a mean father and an over protective mother, so he cannot share feelings or feel empathy. He is always in self-protection mode, suspicious of other's motives, non-trusting of others, I could go on and on. I'm a basket case as well, and I am emotionally needful of affection as I lost my dad as a kid, and I have abandonment issues, so I'm not just trying to bad rap him, just lay some groundwork about why I am concerned about his salvation. I guess the worst thing is he doesn't ever feel convicted by the Holy Spirit when he does something wrong. I, on the other hand, am a miserable Christian because I am so angry at him and God constantly reminds me of my sin of unforgiveness and my anger at my husband for deceiving me. Be that as it may, I will remain married, as that is God's will, and he is not abusing me...just passive aggressive stuff. But....please just pray I will be given my heart's prayer...wisdom and understanding...not from myself, but from God...and that I will do as Jesus would...love this man completely and not take what he does to hurt me personally. Right now, I do not like him, do not care to talk to him. He never has any affection for me, or wants to be with me at all, so it's easy to stay apart from him, but emotionally, I would love for him to submit to God's will for our marriage. and that we could both get on our knees together and be blessed as a Christian couple, and be healed of our selfishness and emotional hurts. Thanks to anyone who reads this and will pray for me and him. Oh goodness. I thought I was reading my memoirs. My husband and I are at that same point. My faith, joy, and strength is constantly bombarded because of my feelings towards my husband. We must always lift them up in prayer. YIKES, that is really hard to do sometimes. Most of the time. What blessings will come when JESUS changes their hearts!!! I am praying for you, facedowngirl. zaidenmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
