    my husband got physically abusive

    I'm going to paraphrase what an abused wife on Montel Williams said today: 'It is not just a slap or a shove or a kick. Once it has happened, things NEVER get better. It will only get worse.' Please, please, please, don't listen to his apologies or excuses. Get out and get help ASAP! And...

    Guilty of online cheating?

    I hope it is something innocent like the last poster suggested but I would be wary if I were you. Of course I'm ultrasensitive right now because I just found out my husband used an adult site to try to 'hook up' for a lack of better word, with other women. What concerns me is that it started...

    Ready to yell "Uncle!" regarding my marriage.

    Wow...I am so sorry. Your husband is sick, and I don't mean that in an insulting way. He is very sick mentally. If he is having relations with other men is it possible that he is gay? In that case, as much as you want your marriage to work, how can you change him? Only the Lord can change...

    Unfaithful?

    Thank you-I have a great psychologist who I see weekly. He has really helped me out a lot. He doesn't know about the latest my husband has done yet because I just found out myself this weekend but I'll see him this week. I'm interested to hear what he has to think.

    Unfaithful?

    I'd give anything to go home but right now the state won't let me. :cry: There is supposed to be a transfer to my home state in the works. I'm just praying nothing goes wrong with that because the only person I have here is him and it's increasingly apparent that I can't rely on him. I just...

    Unfaithful?

    Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to respond to my posts but a couple of these have really jumped out at me and yours is one. I do still love my husband. I see how much he is suffering now and even though he caused it himself it still hurts to see...

    Is Online Chat Adultery?

    I am going through the same thing right now...I just found out my husband has been contacting women through an adult web site. He swears up and down he never intended to do anything but I guess I'll never know, huh? I could forgive him for this but how can I ever trust him again? If you are...

    at a crossroads...

    Hmmmm...I guess I would ask you...is she a good wife to you? Does she love you? Does she treat you well? Maybe there are some things that she would like from you to make her feel more passionate. Is she stressed; does she need a break? Or maybe she is having trouble physically with arousal...

    A Hard Afternoon

    Wow...it sounds like you are surrounded by some seriously troubled people. It's sad that your mother is unable to be there for you the way she should. Something is very wrong for her to speak to you like that. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. You've probably heard this before...

    Feel like... I got the short end of the stick.

    You sound like you are going through exactly what I went my whole life until a few years ago. Yes I do believe that some people are very sensitive to feelings, vibrations...I don't really know how to explain it. I know this because I went through it..the same thing, having the nightmares, the...

    Hurt and Betrayed...same as Unfaithful on other boards

    If someone had told me even a few months ago that I would be suspecting my husband of being unfaithful, or even wanting to be unfaithful, I would have laughed. I have never considered myself a naive person, and I know what the signs of infidelity are, and the signs of internet porn addiction...

    Divorce Possible?

    Hmmm...that is a really tough situation you are in. I can understand how you would be confused as to whether her divorcing her husband and remarrying you, so you can raise your child together is the best thing. There's a lot more that needs to happen before that decision can be made. But first...

    any moms of older teens?

    When I was at Bible study last week this topic came up, just briefly. The instructor said that almost all children who were raised in a Christian home have a period of rebellion and the majority do eventually follow their parents' good example and are strong Christians. Unless you have reason...
