My first marriage was really a hard one. Lots of challenging situations there. I beat myself up for years over leaving it.
But truthfully, religion aside, we both are much happier now. I went to visit him six months ago and he was very happy. He showed me all the improvements made to the house and recent pics of the witness family and the nieces and nephs. I came away with the view that all was well and that everything was back to peace.
I really dont believe I will suffer any eternal torment for leaving my marriage.
In fact I may have saved a life by doing so. YEAH HIS!
In retrospect I should be sainted!

After I broke up with the lady in this initial thread, my daughters , witnesses said, " Dad, you should let us pick a woman for you next time.

So I got lucky a few years later with Mrs. Flipper
