[quote=Anonymous]Wow sweetheart. That is a heavy burden you are carrying. Your words paint a clear picture of what your husband must be feeling, but I am concerned for your feelings in all this. I don't know of anything that hurts or deflates a wife more than when her husband ignores her and entitles himself to be the only one stuck inside a conflict. He is obviosly at a crossroads of his life and feels trapped with no way out. He will have some decisions to make about recommitting himself to the vows he took on his wedding day. In the meantime, your best defense to preserve your family is to ask for God's intervention. I don't know if you ever pray, or even believe in prayer, but God designed your family relationships to thrive and grow with Him in the center of your hearts. God is far more concerned with who you become in this journey through life, and in his mercy gives us numerous opportunities for us to recognize our need for Him.

Funny thing is - what brings a couple together is never what keeps them together. Many wives will testify to that! Yes, there is a road we travel as time moves on where we discover that upholding our spouse requires a lot of selfless giving and grace. Sounds to me like you have been trying, with every human ability you have, to reconcile him back to his role as husband and father. Do not give up. God is in the business of preserving families and wants to see yours restored more than you do.

I would like to encourage you to remain true to what you believe in your heart is right. You can only be responsible for your own actions, thoughts, and decisions, and he likewise. Start to pray and ask God to open up a window of time when you can sit down and draw out of him what troubles him the most. Maybe when he hears himself talk he will realize just how distant he has placed himself from healthy priorities. Pick a time when he seems approachable, and offer him a chance to expose some parts of his soul that weigh him down the most. He may not be ready to talk at first, but when he detects the genuine sincerity of your heart, he may find the freedom to respond openly.

You are not alone dear friend. Many women have struggled as they attempt to navigate their way through a turbulent marriage. But God is there, to uphold you, to support you, to give you strength, and to lead you. I found this article that touches on your situation. I am passing it along in hopes of giving you a place to go to read and be uplifted.     http://bit.ly/2cEqCWE

I promise I will pray for you too. I know this is not easy but I want you to know that I am an example of someone who felt the bottom falling out and by the grace of God, my marriage is doing better. The threats are gone and that happened when we both made a decision to follow God's plan for our lives instead of our own. Sending you a hug, and I will be thinking of you.[/quote]
