I'm not going to 2x4 you! Irma, its your life and your choices to make. If that is what you truly think is the best and right thing to do, I wish you every success for the future!
Second....Irma, I admire your Faith in God. If you want to stand then stand. I am pretty sure it says in the Bible, no matter if we are divorced,(if this is our first h or wife),then they STILL are! If says something about if the other remarries they are committing adultry against us. Look it up.
After my xh left me, I went to Church pretty regular. I had been praying for a prophet to come to me. I prayed for some word from God as to what to do. One night at Church, I had been praying for God to send me a word. I was praying he would send me a prophet to propheise (misspelled), to me. This little old lady got up to testify and she said....My h left me for another woman yrs. ago. She said she prayed and prayed about what to do. 17 yrs. later...YES 17 YEARS!!!!!, there was a knock at her door. It was her h. He said "I'm home"....she said..."Come on in, I've been waiting"! What a great testimony AND there was my word! No doubt in my heart. I dont know if what you call what I been doing is right or if I am standing but I know THAT was my word.
Irma CLAIM IT! God will give us the desire's of our Hearts. We just have to have Faith!!!! and Claim it....hold on to it.
(on a side not, this makes the 4th time I have typed this to share and it kept deleting itself.....the devil obviously didn't won't no one to read this....but guess what? I didnt give in to him.)
Irma, I am always nice, even when I tell people what they don't want to hear. I tell people what I think is best without any mean intentions. Anyway, its everyone's life to do with as they wish. Do I agree with things? Nope, but everyone has to do what they think is right. I am concerned with many on here, especially those who have been at this a long time. I don't think a lot of people let their faith drive them, I think its a lot of co-dependency, and that's scary. Renee, if you are thinking of going back to standing after all the things that have happened, I certainly think you need to talk to someone, in fact, I think its best for you to stay away from relationships for awhile. I don't mean this in a mean way, but I think you need to clear your thinking and take a look at some things.
Harold, you know how I feel about my marriage, even tho he is remarried, but where in hear does it say that just because he has remarried that I cant stand?..... I hope you dont think that I am stuck... I do have a life a good one, aside from my problems with my Mom, I like me and who I have become. I do things when money allows me to....but I hope you dont think that my free time is just thinking of him....these days other than my prayer time does he ever cross my mind. I remember when I first got here that was ALL I thought about was him....all I know is for me and my house we will serve the Lord and this is something God has asked me to do...IF he never returns I know I was obedient to GOd.after all what else matters Irma

I think YOU are right where YOU need to be! Keep up the good work Irma, You will know if it is time to do something different. I may be wrong but I think that the older we get that a slightly different perspective starts to set in. I think you must keep trying to make yourself into a person that only a fool would leave. As long as YOU are happy then keep right on that track!
