I plan on being brief as I am still not sure how to process
this, but here is where I am at: my husband for the last six months has had his
very own checking account, in which he has been selling plasma to put money
into. Then recently he took family money
to put into this checking account unknown to me. When I confronted him about the missing money
I was lied to, until finally the truth of the secret bank account came
out. To be honest, I don’t care that he
has an account of his own, what bothers me is the continual lying and sneaking
around my back. I was angered and at my wits
end, literally willing and wanting to walk out of my house and my marriage as
there doesn’t seem to be a point in trying when even now I am not treated as an
equal in this relationship if I do not know the truth. It was at this point that I found my wedding
ring. There is no explanation as to why
my wedding ring was in my daughter’s car seat as I remember exactly where it
was at in the hotel when I thought I lost it.
I know that finding the ring was an answer to my prayer and if I took
the losing it as a bad omen, I needed to take finding it as a good one. I was still very enraged and hurt by my husband
but later that night when my son threw up on my husband he still let my son
crawl into his lap. My son vomited four
times and three of those times were directly on my husband and yet he still
always allowed our son to crawl back onto his lap so that he could get the
comfort and love he was seeking for from his father. It was a comfort to watch this man I don’t
know anymore still be the very best father and my heart was softened. Honestly, I still have no idea where my
marriage is at and I do feel as if I am ready to give up. I continue to pray for answers, strength and
guidance, but feel I am still coming up short.
I am open to advice and seek for your prayers to help strengthen me
through all of this. I know I have been
asking that a lot as of late, but I know it is really the only thing anyone can
do to help me out and I admit I am in desperate need of help.
Cherish, love, I just wanted to express how impressed I am with your perseverance. It'd be easier in so many ways to move on. you'd be able to justify it, saying its not like I didn't try. I admire the way you choose, instead to seek guidance and comfort through the gospel and say true to your covenants. You are a strong and amazing daughter of God. I love you!
