I have been a devoted listener to Dr. Harley and Joyce Harley for over a year now. My marriage has been going well. We practice the time together of over 15 hours a week of undivided attention. Affection, Communication, Recreational Companionship and Sexual Fulfillment have all been met this past year in our marriage. We recently moved to a new state and have been living here less than a month. My family was planning on visiting and since my husband and my family don't get along we both decided that while my family was going to visit, that he would visit his family. We found out some shocking news about his family and he asked me if it would be ok to stay a little bit longer to help his family out and then come home. The next day, to my surprise , he is asking me if he can stay out there til June while I am here by myself. He has started to become cold and distant as well as controlling and possessive. I disagreed about him staying there until June but he called me names and forced me to give in. I am really upset, heart-broken, hurt and angry. I am really thinking about ending this but I know that God has a plan and that he works in mysterious ways. Please pray for my husband, myself and our relationship. That God speak to him and guide him. I also pray for strength and knowledge from God to know how to deal with this and how to move forward and do what I need to do.

Michelle, welcome to Marriage Builders. Is your husband having an affair with someone back in his family's town? That is very strange that he would abandon you like that.

Can you hire a PI?

Welcome, Michelle. I'm sorry you're here with this. I believe that God will speak to him, but your husband's heart is hard and he will refuse to listen. But that's not a stopper for you, because you prayed this and He sent you here. Don't think finding this website was an accident. Listen to what the posters here say to you. You'll hear the best information you can get to save your marriage.
