Oh so lost....

Hello.....

If you are reading this then you can already tell that I am new to this site. I stumbled upon it doing a google search and am going to give this a try. I am in a very difficult situation right now and feel very very lost. I am currently going through, well the beginings of a divorce to my husband of almost 4 years. First off.... I love him very much but I have been hurt a lot from his actions and words against me and the church. Although he is a babtized member he now feels that this church is a cult and I am brainwashed. I know what the Bible says about Divorce and this is the reason I am so torn. We have both been faithful to eachother and no adultery has been commited but is it not the same to emotionally and spiritually cheat on your spouse? I am so confused. I hope that maybe one day I will fully understand what has transpired but at the moment... I am too bound up in my own hurt. I never thought that I would be going through this. I don't know anyone else who has gone through this either so I am unsure where to turn. I have come to doubt so much about myself and, well everything.

Hi....You know, I went through something kind of similar about 12 years ago. During this time my wife and I were going to Temple preperation classes and were preparing ourselves to enter the Temple and partke of the marvelous blessing therein. We had set a date to be sealed.....then the night before we were to meet with the Bishop for our reccommend interviews she decided she did not want or need the church anymore. Two days later....she was gone....I can home from work and she was gone...A note said the kids were at a sitter and she was moving (on her way) to California. We were married for 14 years. Later I found out it she moved to california because that's where her boyfriend lived. She then had her named removed from the records of the church. A year and a half later I met a wonderful lady (non-member) and something told me she was the one I was supposed to got to the Temple with and be sealed to forever. (The Spirit) To make a long story short, we were married and 3 years later we were sealed in the Temple.......along with our 2 year old son. I firmly believe the Lord can and will direct us to the one we should be with.
As far a divorce.....to rough, but it's not a sin. Sometimes it can be a blessing. The Lord holds marriage in high regard as we all should....and if you did your best to keep it together and at the same time followed the Spirit and kept your covenant...you have every right to be happy and share a life and eternity with a worthy Priesthood holder. Be comforted and know that the Lord is always with you. Please, please....go talk to your Bishop about what is happening in your life...you are not alone. Humble yourself and talk with God, get on your knees and talk to Him and listen....He will answer you.
God bless you on your journey,
Bro. D

Welcome to the site! I hope you find comfort here. I have not been through a situation such as yours, but I know that Christ has felt your pain. Without giving away details, I am dealing with a situation right now that I never thought I would have to face. But, it's here in front of me. I have prayed for help, and the answer I have received is "Keep the Commandments." Whenever I am faced with a difficult situation, I sing "Be Still My Soul." Hopefully, this and your experience here will help you.

I went trough it some 20 years ago. Today I am happily married. He was 50 when we married and we have 2 handsome sons oldest going on a mission to Danmark soon.
However I have found out that A new marriage gives new problems... so people should think many times and try to make it function before devorce... especially Templemarriage (my first was not Templemarriage).
