I have always struggled with the covenant of marriage also.
I believe now that in cases like yours (and my 2d marriage) that the marriage has all ready been dissolved by the other partner. They are no longer living in the sanctity of marriage and so have left it, therefore it isn't the divorce, per se, that ends it, it is acknowledging the truth and reality of the broken marriage.

That 2d divorce I had to remember the verse that teaches if an unbeliever wishes to leave, let them go.

Thank you everyone for your support. There has been a little delay ~ my father passed away very suddenly this morning. I need to take care of this first, then I will deal with my husband.

I thought so too, Naive. I don't know what it means though. My dad was a long time heavy drinker (never admitted to being an alcoholic), but he was loving and generous right up to the end. I loved him very dearly.

My mom stood by him for 49 years ~ if there is a message there, I don't know what it is.

Oh! and the other thing is my husband has really stepped up and is behaving like a kind and loving person... leapt out of bed when we got the phone call this morning to rush to the hospital... genuine hugs, tears and compassionate comments... stayed all day with the family...

?? very confusing times

dunno, kerbearz...try to just stay open and see what unfolds...seems like more than a coincidence, imho, who knows what it will result in...spirit works in mysterious ways...

I'm so sorry for your loss, Kerbearz. I'm glad to hear that your AH is at least not adding to your troubles while you deal with the loss of your dad. Thoughts and prayers going out for you and your family.
