Hello. I am finding it very difficult to allow my marriage to carry on.
I feel I have no help and I am too weak to look to God.
I know God hates divorce but I dont want to upset God in any way.
I have been married just over 4 years to a man I met on the internet. He is from Zimbabwe and he asked me to marry him pretty much straight away. I agreed and we married 2 weeks before his visa ran out. He has applied for permanant residency but the home office have only granted him a 3 year probational stay and will review it after 3 years. The reason he has only a probational stay is because he was physically violent towards me. I did try to fight back but I am so tiny and never won the fight. He has also been unfaithful to me with other married women and had contact with sex chat rooms. All this happened 1 week after marrying him and while I was pregnant. I have been pregnant 6 times with this man and lost 5 of them. We have one child together.
He has been asked to leave the home by my social worker, so he has been away for 3 months now but we still see him every day because of the child.
My husband was not able to work for 4 years because thats how long his application has taken to come through. I have taken care of him, feeding, clothing, phone etc and all I got back in return was abuse and unfaithfulness.
I am trying to sort my head out but dont know what to do. I ask myself does this man really love me or did he just use me to get citizenship. I have spoken to him and he wants to come back to me but I dont trust him. His eyes lust after other women and he stares all the time at them but he denys this and says I am going mad.
Is this man just being cruel?
He claims to be a christian but I have my doubts. He said he backslid when he came to this country as there were too many temptations, not like Zimbabwe where he said he had nothing.
Does God want me to stay with this guy. Do I have to fight to save my marriage. My husband came back to Christ 2 years ago and gives talks in the local church. I am upset that he is allowed to do this as the congregation know of our problems.
Please could anyone help. My husband knows my weaknesses.
He knows I wont let God down so he knows I will put up a fight to save the marriage.
Thankyou so much for reading this long post.
All my love Jacqui. x x x x
