Please help!! My h of 19 years has decided he wants a new life...up until a week before he left he kept telling me that we were working on the marriage and everything would be ok. So when he told me he was moving out the next week I was shocked...He left the house pretty empty and our 3 sons have been mostly in my care..they are now starting to trade off weeks..I don't understand..he won't even talk to me and says he doesn't miss our marriage at all. He has several women he is seeing and I believe he still loves me but is so blinded by this new bachelor life he has he won't even talk about us maybe trying to work this out. Not to mention my loneliness and heartache and the absolutely caustic way he has cut me out of his life. How can someone lie up until the day they leave and act the 19 years was nothing? Please help and advise..he has seen an attorney and had papers drawn but I have not been served as yet. I have an attorney and will relunctantly accept the end result...any suggestions as to how to get through this initial period of hurt, anger, fear, loneliness, etc, etc, etc....(he has been gone 3 weeks.

I hear you saying "reluctantly" accept the final decision. This to me says you don't want the final decision to be divorce. It doesn't have to be. I was served just this week. I'm not going to accept that as the final decision. I have decided to STAND and will do so according to God's Word which is stronger than my husband's anger and need for "freedom". Go to <A HREF="http://www.rejoiceministries.org." TARGET=_blank>www.rejoiceministries.org.</A> Sign up for their newsletter and get the materials. Write me if you wish at findandkeep@yahoo.com. Many prayers to you!
