I think I am really going insane , I can no longer trust my feelings . I pray alot for clarification , but end up with more questions . I thought that maybe writing this stuff out , might at the very least , give me a little relief .
My husband , whom I am seperated from , by his choice , just doesnt seem to be able to make a clean cut choice in what he wants out of all this . He will go from completely wanting the marriage to end (when he left) , to needing time , but we would work on things . Then again to not wanting to work on things , then to questioning his choices . We spent some time together over this last weekend . It seemed to go well , he made an effort to focus just on me , we talked , we watched Fireproof . We had a good time . Then again on weds day , he stated he needed to work things out and needed his space. I can not take the wishy washy back and forth , its feels like it is literally killing me inside . I know divorce is wrong , and have not wanted to give up . Ive tried giving the space and just praying and waiting . Each time that he has a "turn around" I believe it is Gods work on him , and then the enemy steps right on in . I am a mess . This last time that he said he needed his space I said fine take what you need do what you need to . I know he has inner demons he has to work through . Then I see where he has gotten in touch with a certain female , that before we were married or even met , he used to go to swingers clubs with and meet up with people with from sites that were geared toward that type of thing . I also had seen messages where he was planning to meet up with her while we were married and he had to travel to see my stepson . He hasnt talked to her in a long time , and now she is back in contact . I am not sure who initiated the "friend request" on one of the social sites . Just a normal one (FB) . I only saw it because he is still one of my friends , and I saw where she was writing to him on his page . It crushed me like nothing I was expecting . I went through the all the extremes of emotion when I saw this . Is this what he needs his space for ? I suppose only he can answer that , but I am just sooooooo uggghhhhh i dont even know the word to describe how I am feeling right now . Just please keep me in your prayers .

Thats it for now , feel free to respond , if nothing else it would be nice to have someone to talk to .

God Bless
Miccy

I know how that one goes. As we speak my husband is participating in a charity event with the "other woman". It is all I can do to keep from coming unglued. Like you, I might be more stable if he would pick one..either act like u want out or act like my husband, but don't do both.

I will pray with you about this, TLOMiccy. My wife was so wishy-washy as well. From a guy's side, it stinks as well. I might have tried getting back, but there has to be a clean break from the 'thrid party' as it were. It does hurt, it does sting, but the Lord will help yopu through it all.

God bless,

BTW, any luck with the divorce care group? I know you were looking into it. I was just womdering, if you don't mind the question.

Miccy, have you read the book Love Must be Tough? I know it has been talked a bout a lot, but since I am new I can not remember where I saw that. That has been an awesome resource for me. I read it all the time, especially chapter 7. It seems to me like he is keeping you stirred up enough that you are unable to think clearly or move on and he wants that. Since he is back and forth it seems as though he does not know what he wants and you are his fall back guy. As long as he keeps you from moving on he has no reason to figure things out. I hope I do not offend you at all. These are just some of the things people on the outside see. I really should not say anything because I have not set boundaries well myself.

No I havent heard of the book . I understand what you are saying and I have felt it myself the past few days . You have not offended me in the least . I just dont know what to do about it . Oh and he has since removed me from his friends so I cant see his page anymore , but never responded to me . It just gets better and better .

I experienced the same issues with the stbx. I was listed as a friend on her 'social sites.' Funny that her guy was on there, and left posts and comments. Eventually, she dropped me, canceled it all together, and started another, oddly under her maiden name. One thing that I feel strongly about, the stbx's really begin to act wierd, especially when they are doing things that they know are very, very wrong. Keep praying, reading the Word, and seeking Godly council. It is rough, but it will help. Only the strength of the Lord is strong enough to help us through these troubling times.

Miccy, I would strongly recommend that book. Maybe you can even get it online somewhere as an e-book. It talks a lot about infidelity, which as far as I know my husband's "affair" was just emotional, not physical. You would still be able to apply it to other circumstances. Also, I have found comfort in Romans 5:3-5.

Well its been a week no word from him , and I have made no attempt to contact him either . In a weird way its somewhat of a relief . I dont know , Im only sure that the Lord has great plans for me , and I will continue my walk with Him and wait on His promises and timing . Thanks again to you guys for responding , keeping you in prayer .

God Bless

When it seems that everythiong in life is confusing, and you don't know what to expect next, all you can do is trust in Him. If you seek after God, and put Him first, and look to grow your relationship with Him, you will find a peace that you cannot understand. Not saying that life will be a breeze...but you will be better able to handle whatever might come your way. I could not imagine going through all of this withpout the hand of God with me. Stay strong, and keep praying and believing in the Lord.

It seems that we all have something in common. The wishy-washyness is frustratiing. At some point I decided that I was going to keep being her husband untill she provides the paper work. Its part of beinge the example to follow. Once she asked me "Do my bad decisions that I am making now make me a bad mother?" In my mind I just can't comprehend knowing that I am making a bad decision and continueing to do it. She will even openly admitt to Not knowing what she wants. Since I am deployed I am not going to force her into any decision. In the end it has to be hers to live with. I know the ride that you are on all to well but you can decide to get off any time you want with some prayers and confidence that the Lord is going to bring you through it all.

Amen 5k , its all I can do to keep looking to and seeking the face of the Lord .
ThoughtIwas , yes the back and forth is difficult , even more so for you Im sure . I will not pursue my divorce myself , if he wishes to file then so be it . However I can not and will not be a back up plan anymore either . He is free to make his own choices , but he will also have to deal with whatever price comes with them .

Keeping you all in prayer
Love in Christ
Miccy
