You are doing what is best for you in the long run...and not just something to occupy you for the moment.

I wish to tread lightly here. You Wrote: "I ...Oy. I wish to tread lightly here. <BR/><BR/>You Wrote: "I also figured out during my bible study last night that as heartbreaking as it was for me to find out Michael was unfaithful, in a way it set me free. I believe that the only biblical grounds for a divorce are either adultery - or if you're married to a nonbeliever who chooses to walk away. Some might say that I had both... but I know that Michael has faith in God. His faith is different from mine, more works based than grace based and more focused on religion than relationship but he does believe in God. I would have a hard time basing our divorce on that. Because our grounds (at least morally and spiritually, if not legally) are adultery, that frees me to marry again someday. And I really do hope and pray that at some point there IS someone else for me. "<BR/><BR/>Please know that I respect your beliefs and if you feel strongly about this, I will support you.<BR/><BR/>I would, however, like you to consider some additions to your list which bear directly on your case and have legitimacy in your faith tradition. <BR/><BR/>I think you said that in terms your beliefs, Torah law, in absence of direct new testament contradiction holds sway. Am I accurate here?<BR/><BR/>If so, please consider that under those conditions, spousal abuse is grounds for divorce. this can mean both physical or verbal abuse. Additionally if one spouse takes actions to isolate the other from their community, that is grounds for divorce. <BR/><BR/>There is another issue here worth considering as well, and that is forgiveness. <BR/><BR/>I and nearly everyone else I have met are pretty darn imperfect. We all make mistakes, and sadly, even do bad things that are more than mistakes. <BR/><BR/>There is a concept that says before you can ask for divine forgiveness you must personally confront those whom you have wronged and earn their forgiveness. <BR/><BR/>Whereas it seems from where I type that you have been wronged and you both have not found a way into discussing true forgiveness, divorce represents a divine fissure here. <BR/><BR/>If I am off base for you here, I am truly humbly sorry. I however, desperately want you to be able to look at your self with honor and confidence in the mirror and know you are entitled to make decisions for your own benefit. <BR/><BR/>If you are to be a divine instrument, aren't you best off putting yourself in a position where you might thrive?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565064927448520692.post-67193330900125258092009-02-23T15:07:00.000-05:002009-02-23T15:07:00.000-05:00I had my own CnM, who was getting his own divorce....I had my own CnM, who was getting his own divorce. I walked away to. Not as quickly as you did, and as I should have, but because he was also seeing an 18 year old girl. NOT GOOD for the ol' moral. and basically, he had lied about everything he was and all that. So I got burned twice. which is why I don't date right now. For some reason I pick the same kind of guys. I need to get that fixed first. lol <BR/>have a great day<BR/>tinaTina of Moon Shinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09924211569164172510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565064927448520692.post-90426058125470387032009-02-23T14:20:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:20:00.000-05:00We live and we learn.
