Let me ask you this: What do you honestly think of my exh (minus the addiction issues)? Do you think I should have stood more for my M? Taken more of his wishy washy ways and OW? Be honest with your answers ok? What is your opinion for my sich...?
SO2,
I like you and I am not sure you really want my opinion of your sitch. But if you insist, I will give it.
This is really going to upset some people, but everyone, keep in mind that my opinion was asked for.
I think you should have stood for your first M as long as it took. Separated if necessary and continued to pray for your H and your M.
That is my honest answer. I disagree with what your pastor told you at that time with regard to moving on if he meant to move on and find someone else. Moving forward with your life, yes. Seeking someone else, no. You could have sanctified your H. You still can.
So given my thoughts on that, I don't think there was anything to stand for with regard to your second H.
I am not judging you. I am nobodies judge. Ultimately I refer to the catholic church to deem whether or not a M was/is valid. I am not in a position to make a call on whether the first M was valid or not and so this is just my opinion.
But you did ask what I really thought.
Kevin
