Seventy-third psalm indeed. The prosperity of the wicked. Foolish are we, and ignorant, like beasts before God, while the wicked grow fat. I don't know about you, but I long to see the destruction of those who go whoring away from us. And those they hang with.
I like your honesty. I often feel the same way. I like that Holy Scripture has poems that start with, "It isn't f*cking fair!" There are other Scriptures that encourage us in different directions, like Hosea. However, right now I'm living in Psalm 73. And, I think, it's legitimate to pray it with certain people in mind, and trust God with the outcome. Actually, he's already told us the outcome. It's actually a promise. Go figure, the Lord God Almighty actually knows where we live.

Thanks for the good words, friend. I need to hear them.

Yep, gotta love the psalms. The whole range of emotions, in the extreme. Yeah, we know the outcome. But d*mn, it's too far away! I want this over NOW!
Good words? We all need them, especially in the midst of all of this. The vast majority of folks whose threads I read are lovely people with some good self-insight who are heroic way beyond expectation. But no one really sees it, and so often we're faced with frustration and pain. The truth is, most of our spouses don't deserve us, and we don't deserve the pain. But there it is. You're a good man, theo.
