Would you still stand for your marriage if your wife changed religion or became an atheist or agnostic?

Why are you so fast to try to get your wife to go to Retrouvaille with you when you wont go see a counselor like so many have recommended? I see that even back in May that you were agreeing that you needed a C and meds.

Kevin, words are not actions.

You are being very stubborn and defensive to those who give you excellent advice. Do you think this same trait might be one reason your wife has left you?

I think Retrouvaille would be a disaster for your marriage at this present time. It would give your wife the green light to say "see, I told you so. Our marriage cannot be reconciled". She would file for divorce again fairly quickly after wasting her time with it.

You need to be thinking Retrouvaille somewhere way down the road when your wife indicates of her own free will that she is thinking about wanting back into the marriage.
