Wife is thinking of separation and possibly divorce

by Jose
(Poteet, Texas, USA )

Wife is thinking of separation and possibly divorce: I have been with my wife for 15 years now hoping to be married 13 years on Jan 23. About 7 years ago I cheated on my wife with an ex coworker. She turned out to be pregnant, but ended up with a miscarriage. Wife thinks it wasn't mine. Anyways, my wife has not been able to trust me until somewhat now. My wife has never had to work. She got a job last year and met a guy and started liking him. I called the guy up and he apologize for calling her. She was very upset because of me calling him. When she told me about him, she said that our marriage wasn't working and so she started talking to that guy. So that stopped and she got a job closer to home. Then she got a job closer to home and I thought everything was back to normal. Well, she started talking to the delivery guy who happened to be married. The guy asked for her number and she gave it to him. She claimed it was business related. She left her phone one day and I went through it. She had him scheduled on her phone on when she would call him. She even set up alarms. I confronted her and all she said is he is just a friend. There is nothing wrong with having male friends. Throughout all of this, we had just started attending a Christian church and both of us accepted the Jesus into our lives. What I could never understand is why was all of this happening now and not before we got saved. So things were fine for a while until my wife opened a Facebook acct. She ran into her so called best friend who happens to be a male. She stays up messaging him back and forth til the late hours. I happened to read some of the messages that she is not in love with me, which she has told me before. She loves me but not in love with me. She claims we need a trial separation. I have a big problem with jealousy. She told me in the past that she could stand everything else but not jealousy. She spends alot of time helping her aunts and family. It makes me extremely jealous that she spends her time texting her male friend and family. Friday, I accused her if a lot of things. I really hurt her feelings. I feel insecure and jealous. Everything she does makes me jealous and I feel she is cheating on me. Today she left her phone and she was talking about waiting for the holidays to be over to see what will happen. She doesn't want to ruin the holidays for my two daughters. I am afraid of my wife leaving. I need help. I have talked to my pastor and they even have marriage class which says it is no ones business telling people from church of our problem. I don't know what to do. I'm fine some days but then that jealousy creeps up. Pray for me brothers and sisters.

There is hope

I completely understand where you and your wife are coming from. The reason everything is happening now is because Satan wants to try to pull your marriage apart. Your wife has not forgiven you. She is still deeply hurt and maybe even insecure. That is why she is doing what she is doing. She may feel insecure about the fact that yo cheated and possibly got another woman pregnant. She is probably thinking what she did wrong or what the other woman had that she did not. Your wife is feeling so cold right now. That is why she is able to talk to a man that is also married. When women are hurt, they internalize it and if they are not restored by God, they will lash out the pain at whoever and not care about who gets hurt. My advice to you is to be patient with her. Apologize for what you did. Talk to her, see how she feels. Compliment her more, surprise her more, do more for her. You have to over compensate for what happened, even though it is in the past,= since she has brought it into the present. (resource recommendations removed by moderator) I will be praying and try to communicate and pray with her. If you want your marriage, fight for it. Do not let her separate. Once she is gone out the house, anything can happen! You are the spiritual covering. Be accountable to her, let her know where you are going. Ask her what it will take for her to trust you. Know that God has forgiven you for what you did so there is NO condemnation! But you just have to turn your wife's heart to you. Be patient, be prayerful, and hopeful! :)

Jose, ask God to help you with your jealousy. Ask him to reveal to you why you are insecure and ask him to remove it. Now is the time to stay close to God. Did you ask your wife for forgiveness for the infidelity? It takes a bit of time for healing. My husband cheated on me after 16 yrs. It hurts so bad. I forgive him but I haven't forgotten what he did. I ask God to help me to forget so the devil won't have a foothold in my marriage. I learned that no matter what God loves me more than anyone else could. My husbands my best friend but I have learned that he can't love me like God does. You just focus on God and let him take over. Look up scriptures that deal with marriage and read them to yourself out loud so it gets in your spirit. God's word is truth.
So many times when we deal with life and the hurt and pain and troubles we don't trust God. God is not a liar. Everything in the Bible can be applied to our lives. Do we really believe him? Time to trust him. Stay strong and this is the time to cling to God. I will keep your family in prayer.
