Divorce for emotional abuse?
by somebodylovesme inbecause of a recent family situation (always a good time!
), i've been in a debate with a jw relative about whether the society permits divorce (without remarriage) where there is emotional abuse.
this relative swears the literature has said that a person can leave her spouse where there is emotional abuse, but that she cannot remarry.

by depressed ini'm shocked!
if you remember my experience, in a nutshell, basically my ex-bethelite ex pioneer husband cheated on me with an older "worldly woman" from his job and left me suddenly.
i had no idea that we had trouble with our marriage, however, when i discovered the love letters from the other woman, he moved out, and a week after that, i received divorce papers.
