38 years of lying

How do I even begin? Adultry from my husband in the first 5 years. (maybe more than once) on & off again problems w/alcoholism and now I've found out he's been using pot for who knows how long. How do I ever learn to trust him again? I'm sure he'll come home from work tonight remorseful. And I say " so what". I'm so discouraged...........we profess to be Christians all these years ( he served in the ministry for 10 yrs). I feel trapped. It would devastate my grown children & grandchildren if we divorced. I feel strongly that is not the right way. But I feel trapped. There is so much more........he's let me down in every way. I'm the primary bread earner, and I feel I don't even have time to work on this.

Not what you expected
by: Karen

When you get married, you certainly aren't signing up for lying, drug use and emotional abandonment.

While it's important to honor your marriage vows, it's even more important that BOTH people are honoring them. If one person isn't, then it's time to re-think the situation.

After 38 years I'm sure your grown children and grand children would be upset to see the applecart upset by these kinds of things. But you must understand that your kids and grandkids are looking at the situation through their own eyes and their own lives.

It's so much easier to keep things as they've always been so their own lives aren't interrupted. It's natural for them to think like this.

But for you, God's version of marriage doesn't include these things and for you to continue in your current situation without getting some help would not be wise.

Find a good Christian marriage counselor who can help you sort this all out and look at your options. Your life won't change unless you take some positive steps to make it happen. God will be there to help you along the way.

At the very least the counselor will give you tools to help you cope with all you're dealing with.

Blessings,

Karen
