I'm going to wrap this up. The only thing I really wanted to share with the other standers out there is that you are not alone and, while it isn't easy, we are doing this not only because we love the people in our lives but if we don't stand for them, no one else will. What is more important than family? Other than God? Nothing.
MMF,
But yet you report that your kids are NOT doing well with the current arrangement, so how is this helping them?
Even those that propose "standing" the longest, always make sure to advocate strong boundaries as part of that strategy. Yet you report that "there are no boundaries anymore," and I see your kids -- at VERY formative years in their lives as it pertains to how they'll relate to the opposite sex moving forward -- not getting a good example from either one of you.
I too am a Christian, but I know there comes a time when God Himself has tried to get my attention to stand up and protect my kids.
Am I missing something? If there are no visible signs that your situation with your wife is changing, and your kids are not doing well with the setup, how can this be "God's will" for your life? Aren't we supposed to judge ourselves and others by the fruit that we bear?
