Hello everyone,
I have been struggling with a situation for a very long time, and thought maybe a perspective from fellow Christians like myself could be helpful.
I know that as Christians we are supposed to help each other. I also know that we are supposed to put other people before ourselves. Are there any exceptions to that?
My relationship with my spouse is quite toxic. I'm under a lot of restrictions.
It's very hard for me to communicate with people, work a job, take part in church activities, and basically live my life because he doesn't want me around people, especially other men. Mostly men.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. My question is, if I know that leaving him would devastate him and ruin his life, how do I know if it's ok to leave him? Is it right to do that to another person?
I'm asking from a Christian point of view. Any feedback would be great. Thanks for reading.
