I'm 52. I married at 21 to my "high school sweetheart". She wasn't what I thought she was then and has gotten worse over the years. Day-to-day stuff is perfect between us, but when it comes to serious truth we are in dire straights.
At 19, I had sex with another girl during a breakup and kept it from my future wife. Turns out my future wife wasn't the virgin like I was when we met, and even had sex with my friend after we were married when I said okay. (You can jump off the local bridge too; She didn't take me up on that one, haha) To this day I have been faithful in marriage and she has too other than that one time years ago.
But the biggest issue is abortion. My wife supports it. I was an adopted child of a rape and I absolutely detest abortion. My mother could have gotten one in 1970 in Arkansas but she didn't. At 19, she gave birth to me, put me up for adoption and went into the Air Force.
She went on to marry and have two more children, work for the postal service and air national guard and retire comfortably.
Also, my wife wouldn't listen to me when her job required the vax. I said don't do it, no job is worth it. She got one Pfizer jab anyway. Thankfully she hasn't gotten another and her batch number looks like a less deadly one so far.
I have scriptural grounds for divorce, but I don't think I should. I feel like I should keep trying. Hopefully I won't be another Lot waiting for the day my wife looks back...
Any anons out there sympathize with my pain? Please share.
Only in very rare circumstances are individuals happier after they divorce. You're not a spring chicken anymore. Unless its absolutely unbearable being married to her, I'd hold on. Besides. If things go the way this community thinks they will, your wife might flip soon. I think women are very susceptible to social pressure - I mean I think they are more likely to take cues from the media and people around them to inform how they should think or what they should believe. The abortion thing needs time to simmer. However, try making friends with more conservative couples or even better, reformed liberals. If your wife finds a group of friends that she likes, their views will seep into her. Same if she has crazy liberal friends. They'll keep her rooted in immoral mental illness.
