    Oh boy! You made me realize that I have been the Passive one in our marriage for probably the full 36 years!!! Always thinking I was not part of the problem because I go along with everything just to try to keep the peace when really I am ready to explode. Thank you for opening my eyes. It's a start.

    What if both are believers but one is going back to things of the world or certain old things that they did in the past and it’s a pattern of them doing it?and one is trying so hard to keep the faith and keep walking with the most high but the one that is backsliding willfully is making it hard is that unequally yoked still?

      Thank you for sharing your heart so openly. We’re sorry you’re going through such a difficult time in your marriage right now. We can tell you’re hurting as you try to figure out what to do next and as you look for answers. We want to help in any way we can. The first thing we want you to know is that we’re praying for you, asking God to comfort you with His love and compassion (Lamentations 3:22-23). So we can come alongside you during this time, we strongly encourage you to call one of our counselors (at no cost to you). Just call 800-232-6459 any weekday between 6:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. (MT). The staff member who answers the phone will set up a callback from one of our caring counselors and one of them will be in touch as soon as they’re able. In the meantime, our website has some information that might be helpful. We hope you’ll visit our Marriage page - bit.ly/2zG1Oq6. Our resource list may be useful, too - bit.ly/43iz3f6. Many of the book titles should be available in your local library. Thanks, again, for sharing. We hope you'll contact our counselors soon. Grace and peace to you, friend. Ella L

    There is no such thing as "hedges" for a bitter man, even if he is a professing Christian. He will find a way to justify his behavior and it will ALWAYS be his wife's fault.

    I just want to hug my husband again😢 to laugh, to cuddle, to look at him & see him the way church members see him but he’s wearing a mask. He’s charming at church & triggered agitated about everything at home. I try to redirect him, etc but it doesn’t work. He puts more energy into arguing instead of affection & now I’m emotionless. Talking to him about my concerns starts an argument. So I try to avoid him & try to keep the kids out of his way so that he doesn’t get triggered. It’s difficult, I’ve become a shell & he blames me for it.

    I feel like this is my boyfriend and I. He refuses to change or listen or acknowledge any issues. There is no understanding or empathy he responds with nothing but anger no matter what. He will treat me like garbage and then make it out to be my fault around our counselor. No matter what, he turns things around on me. Makes jokes and doesn't take things seriously. I either have to deal with it or I have to change. We have been together for 12 years we both have made mistakes but I try to work thru things. He acts like he doesn't know me and I feel like he just wants to be single and he cares more about money than anything. No matter what is going on I cannot get an apology even if I deserve it because he doesn't deem me worthy of one or thinks he has done anything wrong. This is breaking my heart. I tried to play this in front of him and he acts interested then when we argue he says this is nothing but me basing our relationship on everyone else's. I said that's not true, these people are putting their struggles out here to help people. But he doesn't believe it. People are just actors. Please help me.
