First of all, young lady, what on EARTH are you embarrased about??? Head held high!!! You are the better person here. Don't lose faith just yet. No need for a timeline, right?
I'm embarrassed because we live in a close-knit community, and I (big mouth) told everyone I know (and even a few people I don't!) about what my H has been doing. Not because I'm trying to hurt him, but because I REALLY need a lot of emotional support and friends right now! He probably won't go back to our church (BTW, it was HIS idea to start going to that church in the first place!) again, because he knows I've been confiding in people (including our pastor).
On the other hand, you're right -- I'M not the one who did this! H is the one who got into the A and left me to pick up the wreckage. HE's the one who should be embarrassed. I'm sure most of the people in my church will forgive him for what he's doing (because that's what Christians should do), and be non-judgmental. He's not the first guy to do something like this, and everyone knows how much I've been praying for him.
If anything, when/if my H ever decides to come back to me, this might be a great miracle/testimony to share.
So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” - Matthew 19:6
