Thank you all

I just want to thank you all for being a here for me for the last 7 years. I have been through many trials and tribulation's in those last seven years and your prayers have got me through them. I have faith in God. These last two months have been my rock bottom. As you know Kathy and I have been married for 19 years and we are getting a divorce. When I first started to asked for your prayers you gave them and you were a source of support.

Then when we decided to get a divorce it seemed like some of you thought that we should not get a divorce (which I understand) and try and make the marriage work. I have tried to make this marriage work and I have worked hard at it for the last several months. Kathy has not tried and had her mind was set the she did not love me anymore, that she did not think she loved me when we got married, and that she has no connection to me at all anymore. This is why I told you that you needed to walk a mile in my shoes before you passed judgement on my discussion.

Before my decision to get a divorce I had prayed everyday for God to show me the way, to open the doors I needed to go through to better myself and my family. God did open doors for me, and he did make me a better person. I also asked God to heal Kathy's heart and to show her the way and open doors for her too. I do not know what doors he opened for her and if she even let him start to heal her heart. All this time I had a painful heart, I had a heavy weight on my shoulders, and I felt like crying all the time. The night before I asked Kathy for a divorce I prayed once again that God show me the way and that he open doors for me. I then heard him say to me "You need to give it all to me". I then realized that I had not given it all to God, that I was still holding on to my problem. So at that time I gave it all to God. I slept well that night.

The next morning I was at work and I heard a voice tell me to go home and talk to Kathy. So I went home and talked with Kathy. I asked her if she felt any different towards our relationship. Kathy said no, that she does not need me in her life other than being the father to our children, that's she does not need any man in her life at all. I then told her that we needed to do something then. Kathy asked if I wanted a separation or the "Big D"? I asked her what the "Big D" was and she said a divorce. I looked in her eyes and saw that there was no love in her eyes towards me and that there was still no connection. It was at that time I told her 'I want a Divorce". As soon as I said those four words all the weight on my shoulders, all the pressure on my heart, and all the tears that were ready to flow where gone. It all was lifted from me. It was then that I knew that this was God's will and that I had given it all to him.

Kathy and I are still friends and we are working things out equally in the divorce. We are doing what we need to do to make sure the children come first. It is working and things are falling into place. I am sorry if some of you think that we should have stayed together, but if we have stayed together any longer it would have only hurt the children. They would have had parents that did not love each other and staying in the marriage just to make it look like a family should.

I still love Kathy and always will. We have agreed that we to end this relationship the way it started and that is as friends. I hope you can understand now why we have decided on the divorce.
 
Brother Randy,

I say 'Brother' because we're both believers in Almighty God, through Jesus Christ. Yet you don't know me from Adam but I can tell you this - I know, all to well, where you are and what you're going through, as I too dealt with the same decision some twenty-five years ago. To this day, I wish there could have been something I could have done to change her mind but, at last, it was not to be. It's difficult to completely let go and let God take the reigns but, like you, that's what I finally had to do to have any lasting peace in my life. It wasn't easy, as you well know, but time does heal all wounds. May God bless you with your every need, whatever that need may be, and may He bring you peace.

Blessings Brother,
Martin
 
I was in a marriage of 18 and a half years before we divorced. Lots of similarities between us in many ways. I stayed friends with my ex as well for the children's sake. Much preferred over the bitter arguing and mind games many others play using the children against the other parent.

God bless you all and peace to all.
 
Randy, as you know, I have been there and done that also. I will continue to pray for you brother, and if you need me let me know. To be in a loveless marriage is something I have gone through also, and I know how you feel. I don't think any of us wants our family to break up and get a divorce, but sometimes that happens and as in my case, my ex wanted the divorce and I did not, but the judge says it doesn't matter what I wanted. Anyway, God brought a wonderful lady into my life 11 years later and I thank Him for that. Hang in there and God will see you through.
 
You all will continue to receive my prayers for peace, comfort, and understanding.
 
Have you both in my prayers Randy!
 
praying for you and your wife!!! but i have to ask if you all tried christian counseling to get to the real problem? or even a medical problem? my wife left me for two months after going through a loss of emotions and other mental problems which were all caused by a overactive thyroid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she even said the same things your wife said......"i don't love you any more, i don't think i loved you when we got married, i made a mistake, etc: not judging you, just letting you know that there may be other things that you should check into.
 
There has been no counseling for her because she refuses to go to counseling of any kind. I can not force her to go. There is no medical problem.
 
Prayers for everything to work out in God's guidance and loving care! You and the children will make it through with Jesus as your Savior and Lord! I didn't think I could make it through mine and my ex's divorce but here I am still living and serving my Lord since 1986...the year he left and then 1988... the year of our divorce! Lean on and trust in Jesus, and He will be with, protect and provide for each of you! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Bety
 
Randy I feel for you, I pray God will be with you in this difficult times, I don't see much choice on your behalf, your wife is not giving you much of a choice. Stay strong and lean on God, he will take care of you. Don't leave the forum because of those who take it upon themselves to judge you. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE here knows exactly what goes on in your household, only you. Continue to pray and God will help you thru this mess.
