Hello everyone,

I'm 25 years old, my H is 32 and we've been married for 3 years 7 months (we met through the internet). We got married in my home town and moved to his home (with his mother.) I moved 1500 miles away from my family. I was so in love!! Things started to get bad since we moved in. I then realized he was a momma's boy...everyting momma said was right and everything I said had to be wrong. A year after we moved out to our new house, I couldn't take it no more. Things were the same....he would verbally and physically abuse me, he would always put his mom first no matter what, he would not put no attention at me, very much over protective. For two years I didn't tell anybody about my situation until one day....I was talking to a pastor about my situation and I just couldn't hold my sadness and I burst out crying. I had two sessions with him and in the las session, when I burst crying he came to me and give me a hug and told me not to cry. I was hurt, sad, and emotionally really bad. When I was leaving his office he gave me a kiss. I was in shock and I couldnt believe it.

After this, we started a realationship. We started to talk, he would always tell me how wonderful I was and I didn't deserve any of what my H would do to me. He just made me feel so special and I felt loved. We didn't start an intimate relationship until probably 3 months. He had a crush on me since we met and I met him 3 years and 5 months ago.

I need some advise really bad....thank you all

Hi there....

I am sorry to hear about your marital problems and if your H is abusing you, you MUST get out. But let me also warn you, that if you get involved with this Pastor while you are still married (is he married as well?) you are putting his job in jeopardy. I also want you to beware that some ministers are not above "taking advantage" of vulnerable women, and he may be no exception, so I would tread very carefully if I were you! This is most definitely NOT appropriate behavior by a minister....go talk to a different Pastor, PLEASE!

NOW

An affair with a pastor. Goodness. First get away from the abuse, but for pete's sake don't run into the arms of an OM.

I'm shaking my head in disbelief...

Before anyone gets to bent out of shape this is the second really bizzare post today and I think they are both pranks.

Check out her member # it's 39990 I think, but if you look the last logged member is 39912. The other post I referred to had a similarly odd #.

If it is not a hoax.. OH MY!!

Hi Guys,

This is not a hoax, I am really going through these unfortunately problems. Yes, the pastor is married. He tells me that he loves me and our relationship has gone too far. My H doesn't know, I am very confused. I was in love with my husband, but all the things he had done to me and all the most terrible things that he had said, I dont know if I still love him the same way. This OM has made me feel important and he has really shown me that he cares for me.

My husband has not hit me in a while, but the verbal abuse is still happening. I dont what to do to get out of this marriage. I'm afraid.
