Snowmm, I am a little confused as to how you feel that you are doing what God wants you to do. I am also a religious person, but I have yet to find one piece of scripture that says someone should remained married to someone who has left their spouse, cheats on or lives with someone else, doesn't take care of their family. I know God hates divorce, but marriage is a covenant with God between 2 people. Nowhere in the Bible does it say or imply that someone should stay married under these circumstances. If you wish to stay married because its what you want to do, I accept that as a personal choice, but if anyone says its for a religious one, I am going to have to see some scriptures I have not read.
