 No peace RE: Husband

Wow.

Yesterday, John called to say he had driven out of town, spent the night in his truck and read the entire Bible, so he had verses he wanted me to read. The major one: "Women should not leave their husbands." The next verse says, "IF she does, she should either reconcile or not re-marry."

It was great to actually have John open the Bible and look at it with me, something I've always wanted.

But this morning, I'm thinking, "The Great Chameleon has struck again." He wants me to move back in as soon as possible.

This morning, I was feeling crazy . . . no peace. Feeling like I want some "authority" to tell me what to do, like, Dr. Neaves.

On the way to work, I was thinking, "These people, who love me and I trust and respect, are telling me to stay away: Dana, Dale, Carla. Even my mom last night told me to be cautious. Why am I thinking of disregarding this wise counsel?"

UGGGH.

Probably they are cautioning you since they are really your friends and they see your situation from a more objective standpoint. From what you write of John, I advise you to stay away from him and wait until you see your situation more clearly sans emotions.

Thanks, Joanne. I agree with you, they are more objective than I.

I appreciate your comment!

Tricia,

I was a manipulator... my girl left me and it took me letting her go, and realizing that she was gone before I realized that I truly needed help. If he loves you, he will let you go. He does not need you to help him through his counseling, should he choose to pursue it. He needs to do it for himself and only himself. Otherwise there is always the danger of having it regress and having him blame you for all of the problems again.

I am now married, and so is my former girlfriend. We are very close and extremely happy to see the changes in one another, not to mention knowing just how lucky each other's spouse really is. It doesn't always turn out that way, but it doesn't have a chance to turn out if he won't set you free and make the changes (with help) on his own.

You hang in there. And remember that the greatest gifts of the Holy Spirit are Faith, Hope and Love. Go for the real stuff!

You are not disregarding wise counsel but just doing what has been habitual. You are good. And important and the Lord loves you always, despite what you think is unworthy.
