Re: the husband that turned out to be a munster
I know this will sound harsh but you are an adult and must act like one in the face of having your heart broken and anger,which is normal and understandable.As Ev said,refrain from hitting him.You might end up badly beaten if he gets tired of taking it.I'm 51 now but went thru as much as you and was near your age.I'm wanting to give you practical advice,from excperience,along with prayer.If you know there are problems in the marriage,for you and your childs sake,use protection not to concieve untill things are straigtened out.As far as why you?I heard a preacher address this question before and say"why not you"?It happens to pp all the time that don't desearve it.You must be strong for your daughter and the one on the way!How old is he?Is he old enough to know better or still growing up himself?There are many factores that play into this.But whatever,we know God is your salvation from this. It may seem hopeless now but with God all things are possiable.It appears he doesn't work steady.Do you have family or friends to turn to?Are you involved in a church fellowship where they can help you?Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior?If not,would you like to?There are great pp here that will talk to you and pray you thru this.I get the feeling you might have gotton married because you were pregnant.No judgement here because it happens to the best of pp.But that may have gotton the marriage off to a rocky road for him.It would seem that asking him to go to christian counseling would be out of the question for him.A lot of us feel like our life stinks at the moment at times.It's only human.You aren't to blame.Life can have some pretty bad twists and turns along the way.But we know God that can make the crooked ways straight.I know this seems harsh of me and I really don't want it to.But you must think of your children!God can deliver him of this addiction.Have you tried to sit and talking to him calmly about it?I know it's hard!I'm 51 and still act like a child at times.We are forgiven,not perfect.I know I can speak for us all when I say that we will be in heavy prayer for you and hubby.Preachers have fallen victim to this problem!There is no temptation but such that is common to man.I will go to sleep tonight praying for you and in the morning and thru out the day.This really hits me strong about how much prayer you need and it will be coming.Keep us up on how it's going.Things may not change overnight but you'll have so much prayer going up for you that it will be alright in time.God will never leave you nor forsake you even if at times you feel that way.We walk by faith and not by sight,or feelings or how it appears in the natural.With love for you and my prayers,Dot.
