Not Until He Left

The Story

Most Christians would agree that God hates divorce. Most people who have been through a divorce will tell you they hate divorce, even if that divorce was necessary to their continued survival. No woman should be mistreated or abused, abandoned or ignored and then held to a marriage and choked by it with chords of religiosity. Two years into my marriage, my husband had his first affair and after nine years of marriage, thirteen years together, it ended much the same way it began, amid deception, conceit, and an above accountability, above reproach, laissez faire attitude.
