Thanks Madeleine,
The topic was started because of me. As some of you know, I am legally blind and caring for anyone that has any kind of disability is no easy task. However, over the past few years, she has been bringing up the subject about my eyes and how she resents it. When we do have discussions about any subject, she would always bring up about my eyes. This past few weeks have been really hard because she asked for a divorce. I certainly don't want her to leave but I certainly don't want her feeling miserable. If anyone knows anything about Joyce Meyers messages, one of her favorite quote is..."What about me? What about me? What about me?". This is exactly how my wife behaves.
I know the details are vague and I certainly don't want anyone to side with me in this matter. I just merely need to know if what she is requesting is right (biblically) and if my refusal to not give her the divorce is right?
For the record, there are no abuse, sexual immorality, alcohol, etc. The main issue is my eyes.
There are much in her past that she needs to deal with but I will not go into detail. However, I know much of it has to do with her behavior. I understood her past and never used it in any argument.
She has no desire to go to counseling but I am willing to talk with my Christian minister.
Of course this situation scares me somewhat because of my disability.
Madeleine, for the record, I will not throw these scriptures that I have read here to her face due to the fact she will just get defensive and then call me 'holier than thou'. Yeah, she's a Christian too.
Pray for her (Linda).
BIC,
Eddie
