This is a hard read for the wife of someone in that position.

My husband knows that divorce is not what God wants for us.  For me, for him, for our marriage, for our children.

But he also knows that God will forgive that sin (and any other he chooses to commit in the process).  He's skipping merrily about, surrounded by the forgiveness of God (and all of our Christian friends....because we all sin.  and no sin is greater than any other sin, so who are we to call him out on his or judge?) all the way to the divorce lawyer.....while the children and I are mourning this terrible loss and quite honestly....feeling destroyed. 

It's hard for me to go to church.  To see him so happily and contently loved by God and everyone around him, while I'm feeling hurt and abandoned....but my husband and by God.  I know that feeling isn't true, that God must be there, somewhere, even though I can't seem to connect or take comfort in my suffering.  But it's a hard pill to swallow every Sunday morning.
