Women listen up silent treatment is abuse!!

[AVZ]

You know even God believes in divorce.  As much as He hates it, He gave Israel a writ of divorce for her adultery.

Sorry to have to clash with you on this TC, but I don't think you are correct here.
This is not the thread for a discussion on this, but most certainly God does not believe in divorce.

I see you are not familiar with Jeremiah 3.

Actually I am. And I think you are misinterpreting it.

I am perhaps guilty of oversimplifying it.  But if you want to argue about it, you can start a new thread.

My friend did leave the church and now works at a local meat packing plant.  His wife left him shortly after this all came out.  They are in the process of a divorce.  She moved out of the area, taking their children with her.  As for me I do not believe in divorce.  My wife suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and depends on me to take care of her, our children, and our home as she is very limited in her ability to help out with those things.

She is clearly not too disabled to have sex with other men!  If she knows that you will never end the marriage then she will carry on cheating and possibly murdering more babies. You are not setting any boundaries for her behaviour.
The other mans wife did the sensible thing. What your wife has done is appalling. Wrecking others marriage is appalling.

What worries me even more is what a terrible example of marriage your children are getting. Their mother never talks to their dad(which is so messed up) and she cheats and kills her own children. It would actually be far less dysfunctional if you stood up to her and made a new life for yourself and your children. Do you want them to think that this is how you behave in a  marriage? That putting up with abuse and adultery is right? If she cant look after them anyway then you make sure that they live with you.

There are things that are worse than divorce.

So i got fed up the other day and told my wife we need to  on our marriage or get a divorce. I'm not going to just drag this out any longer. I'm tired of her silent treatment constant put downs etc, etc. I've come to the conclusion that marriage is and is not. Marriage is the willingness on both parties ti make it work.

I can't agree with you more.  Not only is the silent treatment abusive, but it is infantile.  It is a sign that the person lacks the maturity to even consent to be married, as they have the developmental level of a junior high school student.  I think such divorces should be thought of more as annulments, even if there are kids.

My only problem with your thread is that you act like it is only a woman problem.  In my case it was my husband who gave me the silent treatment and emotional abuse.
