(((((Inky)))))
Look at it this way. He isn't rejecting you but rather embracing them. They won't allow him to do both. Had he truly wanted nothing to do with you he would not have wasted the time to write. His admition that he still loves you is the part of his heart that has yet to be completely assimilated.
As the facts of the WTS corruption and evil are brought to light he may see the truth of it. Don't give up hope of having a more active role inhis life in the future.

Blackout,
I think it is so cool that we can be diametricaly opposite on this matter and still be able to converse civily. I see other threads where opinions are different and the thread deterirates to the point of name calling and plain meanness. Perhaps others might take notice of how two people can be agree to dissagree and keep things friendly. No flame war here.
I really appreciate your viewpoints and look forward to reading more of your posts.
I don't mean to be presumptious, but I would like to call you a friend.
Your friend,

Sad situation.
Seems they can't find any common ground on which to build. Unless they both decide to turn theri full attentions to eachother, I fear their chances are slim to none. I think Kingpawn is right though, if they don't do something constructive soon they may never have a chance to fall in love again.

Feeling Pretty Bad
by rebel ini hate mondays!.
i also feel bad because i have been receiving subtle hints from my hubby that he may be leaving me.
we have been married for 24 years, have 4 beautiful, intelligent children (one is no longer with us), we have been though troubles, worries, the death of our darling claire, money problems - you name it - we've been there.. now - because i have different religious views to him, he doesn't think he can associate himself with me any longer.

Rebel,
Blondie and Shakita are right. If you haven't given him scriptural grounds for a divorce, he's the one putting himself into a percarious position. According to their own rules he must provide for you and your kids financialy. He's even required to continue providing you with your "marital due" not an easy thing to do, if he were to leave.
If you and the son who sided with you will continue to respect him, love him and make his home life a peaceful and happy one, perhaps he will recognize the sincerity of your efforts and come around. If you badger him or turn into a sobbing wreck, it might just aggrivate him and push him away.
I believe that before long the corruption of the WTS will become publicly know , that no one will be able to deny it and many more of us will be freed.

Blackout,
I guess the point I was trying to make is that when it gets a bit more difficult to find willing casual sex partners, because of losing the sexual magnetism of looks and lust, where will the two of you be? What security do you have that your partner will be loyal to you and remain with you as you age, when loyalty wasn't a big deal when your relationship was "anything goes" in your prime.
I suppose it boils down to my feeling that sexual intimacy is "holy" in a way. Mind you I'm no bible thumper, but I have seen the pain of betrayal on the faces of those that have dealt with infidelity whether they were single or married.
Sex is a very important part of our relationship. I am sure though that if I was in an accident and was unable to "provide" for Sheila, the strength of the other aspects of our marriage will keep us together even if she were to get really horny. In your case it seems to me that it would be easier to abandon your partner, or they you, in the same circumstance, simply because it was OK before.
Six,
I'll share my thoughts, share my feelings, and even share a six pack. Major ixna on the plexiglass and shared manogamy though. Married commited intimacy ROCKS!

Blackout,
Threw me for a loop there you did! I honestly don't know how you can have an open marriage and consider it healthy relationship. For me sex was the one and only thing I could offer up to one and only one person. It was and is a point of personal pride that I have only ever been with Sheila. Our sexual relationship is, to me what makes us husband and wife. I know that today that seems an old fashioned standard but it is a safe and secure feeling knowing that you reserve the most personal and intimate of encounters for one special person. Not everyone is emotionaly able to detach the sexual aspect of their relationship. I would say the majority can not. Some one is bound to be hurt. That kind of hurt often leads to violence. I know I would become violent.
I am glad your situation works for you. I wonder though, with society placing so much importance on looks and sex. What special bond will hold your relationship together when the looks are gone and the sexual fires diminish.
I know that Sheila and I will grow old together and enjoy knowing that our relationship on the whole was based on love cemented by the commited monogamous sexual aspect of our life together. My heart would break to think of another man seeing the look on her face as she reaches climax. I personaly could never offer to another woman, what I have promised, till death do us part, to her
I would never judge anothers choice in matters of love. To each his own. I do however tout the rewards of a commited and exclusive sexual realationship.

Color me confused.
I just don't get it. What is the group fascination with longwinded and condescending posters?
