    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    I have to admit that as things progress I am finding myself really coming to despise my husband. He is constantly doing things to disrespect me (not that he ever had respect for me in the first place) but it's really bad now. I view myself more positively because I know who I am in Christ, but...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    I guess now would be a good time for an update. We went in to court in August, but it turned out we had two court dates that day and ended up cancelling the second which would have finalized the separation, but that one is now in November and I also have been ordered by the court to move out by...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    Angie65, we have temporary orders in place now, we go back in August for the finalization of the legal separation process. My husband has no desire to work on our marriage, he thinks his only option is to leave (I just wonder why he hasn't left yet). At this point I am so ready to let things...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    You know what, he may actually be thinking that your suffering is because you do not follow Islam. I used to have many discussions with various men who followed Islam and always concluded that we just couldn't be because there was no way I was going to convert and I know they were not going to...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    Angie65, I am very sorry to hear your story. I know how it feels to want support from others and then they not live up to it. I don't really know many people at the church I attend, my husband works for the church as well so that's a difficult situation for me. I've also had thoughts wishing...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    Thank you for your replies and for reminding me that praise/worship through music used to be my go to way to destress and keep my mind on Christ. I've gotten away from that and I realize that I do need to get back to that. I seem to have lost track of who I am, which isn't good. We went to court...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    Legal separation in the state I live is same as divorce without the title. I wish he'd just divorce me because I hate the way he treats me. I wish I could do more, but I do have a 2 year old child. I think it might hurt more because I have a son and I've been raising him as a single mother...

    How do you rid yourself of negative thoughts?

    Hello everyone, I am currently going through the process of a legal separation from my husband...this was his decision, not mine. My husband filed for this legal separation for supposed financial reasons (even though my credit is better than his and I've maintained a job the entire marriage; he...

    Prayer for my marriage

    Hello all, I am just seeking prayers on behalf of my marriage, my husband, child and I. My husband is intent on separating (or divorcing) me with no good reason except that he "wants his peace." Pray my strength that I will be able to handle whatever comes my way next. I am really struggling...

    He filed for legal separation...

    So I had a feeling that something was off this morning, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. That and the fact that my father-in-law who doesn't speak to me was soooo eager to get me to get something that "someone" had for me at the door and I just knew what it was so I wasn't surprised. My...

    In-laws...what would you do?

    I don't have anyone else up where I am living right now. If I was living near my parents, they would do it, but i'm not in a position to choose that option anytime soon. My son is 18 months old. My husband already bad mouths me to him in my presence. Its nothing bad but just little underhanded...

    In-laws...what would you do?

    My father in law did not contact my parents, my husband called my parents to tell on me...apparently trying to shame me into doing what he wanted and after trying to reason with my husband, my dad asked to speak to his dad. That's when he badmouthed me because my FIL does not talk to me so he's...

    In-laws...what would you do?

    Hi everyone, I've being going through some things in my marriage, but this is more focused on my in-laws. I've had an okay relationship with my in-laws throughout the 2 year marriage to my husband. It's difficult since they live in the first floor flat of our house (my husband bought it before...

    Emotional Rollecoaster

    I have posted before, but my husband and I have been married a little over 2 years. This has been the hardest two years with many struggles, disappointments, trials, etc. My husband lost his job less than 2 months after we married and hasn't gone back to work since. He is now finishing up...
