This blog is about my life with my wonderful husband and 3 incredible girls. My life has been a colored one, but it is one that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Separations are difficult
So last night my husband received an article 15 for adultery. Yup, he did the one thing I never thought he would do in our marraige. Now I am left pondering if I even want to save my marriage. He told me about all of this about three weeks ago, but last night it became completely real. And I thought that I would wake up this morning and not be as upset about it as I was and yet I realize I'm probably even more upset this morning. I have no interest in my marriage anymore. Why should I stay with a person who thinks it's okay to do that, whether or not they were in Iraq? I have been to Iraq. I never did that. I have stood by my husband through 4 article 15s and each one of them is for something worse than the time before. How much more am I required to take? Just because I'm a Christian I'm supposed to sit by while my husband ruins our family and I am made to look like a fool? Why don't I deserve to be happy? And why couldn't he have told me this before I quit my teaching job and before I uprooted our children and moved down here? I feel like I have given up everything in my life for him and have done it multiple times yet he does nothing and gives up nothing.

Oh, Kristi, I'm so sorry. Only you will be able to tell if you can fogive him enough to give the marriage a chance. I'm so sorry he's hurt you. My prayers are with you - whatever you decide this is going to be a difficult decision and you'll need God on your side.
ReplyDeleteThanks. We are in therapy and we are slowly working through it. Some days are better than others but we are trying really hard to make it work.
