You're not a stander, you're an extremist who's brainwashed yourself into believing your wife really doesn't have the choice to divorce you. You scare me.

And I see no remorse or repentance from you, just some stubborn preaching that she has no right to leave you. If you were truly repentant for your part in what went wrong you would not take this stance, as if you owned that woman.

Sorry, but I can't take listening to you use God anymore. I really hope something wakes you up soon.


I don't own her. I don't control her. I don't try to do either. You can say all you want that we both may have broken certain vows. What married couple hasn't at some point in their M? But it doesn't change the fact that we still have a covenant M that never goes away. She can live her life how she wants. I don't try and stop her from doing that. She can make her choices all she wants and there is nothing I can do about it and there is nothing I will try and do about it.

I am a stander and not an extremist. My W has every choice to leave or get a legal D or do whatever she chooses to do. I stand by what the bible says about marriage for myself. That doesn't mean I didn't make mistakes. I made a ton of mistakes that I continue to regret each day we are not together. You have no idea how remorseful I am about the mistakes I made. I have apologized to my W time and time again through this for everything I did wrong. I have shed tears to her asking her to please forgive me. She hasn't and that is her choice. I'm living my life as a stander because I will not enter into another cheap imitation of what God created.

If that means that I am alone. So be it. I have one covenant W for life. Thats it. If she doesn't want to be with me. Then she doesn't. How is that me owning her? I fail to see how because I am sticking with what the bible says about marriage being for life that it makes me an extremist. Am I making her come back to me? No. Have I asked her to? Yes I have. But I don't make her do anything. I love her. I love my family. I don't like to see my kids having to grow up like this.

But I don't own or control a thing with regard to my W. And I am not of the belief that I do. She is her own person. When we got married, we became one flesh. But she still makes her own decisions and I have to live with them like it or not just as I made my own decisions that brought a lot of this on. And I don't have to like this situation. But I accept that it is out of my hands.
