  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

confused and hurt

Yesterday, he filed for the divorce. We are still living together. He in fact, is already searching for his next wife . . . I found this out from his secretive internet activity.

It was a short marriage, only 2 years. But I put a lot into this emotionally. There is a lot of hurt, much heart break. He conned me. He took all my money, spent it and now he is moving on to his next quest.

I am penniless, not sure where I can live or if I'll end up homeless. Thank GOD there are no young children involved. I am disabled and constantly in a battle with chronic fatigue and pain. I can't work because of this. I have surgery scheduled for next month. I am so stressed, and yet in such a fatigued state, that I can do almost nothing. I am powerless . . . Only GOD substains me!

But what really hurts is how he conned me. He was the wolf is sheeps clothing. A pastor, yes and I was the pastor's wife. He was respected and loved by some of his close congregation. YET it was all in act. A betrayal. He doesn't know how to love. Doesn't know how to have emotional attachment. He is narcistic and yet suffers from low self esteem. And is extremely codependent. That is why he is already searching for his next victim. He can't stand the thought of being alone.

He has no sex drive, the only time he wanted to kiss and cuddle was while we were dating. Maybe this really wasn't a marriage, since he wouldn't give of himself physically in the bed. How simple it would be to save the marriage I told him, all he would have to do is learn to love me, really love me.

He's moving on. But this time I have nothing left. He spent all my money, 16,000 gone to dust and now I live off of a small disability payment. I was such a fool. Why didn't I see it coming.

Just need prayer please! Thanks for taking the time to read this.:cry:

I am so sorry you are hurting as you are. I understand that pain and confusion. You are right to lean on the Lord, and seek solace in Him. Trust Him for all that you are right now. He is faithful and will bless you beyond what you can imagine.

When my husband left me four years ago, my best friend gave me Jeremiah 29:11. God has great plans for you. Memorize that verse.

Hugs,
Trish

My heart goes out to you and your situation. I am going through something similar, except my wife left me and simultaneously started a relationship with another man. She sounds similar to your husband with the low self-esteem and selfishness. We have only been married about 1 1/2 years, and by the time it goes through legally it will be nearly 2 years, luckily without kids. I know the feelings of immense betrayal that you must be going through. Without the Lord it would be nearly impossible to endure situations like this. I will pray for you right now. I pray that the Lord will give you his strength and perseverence to lift you up for the many days ahead you will need it.
