Hi everyone. I know I've been kinda quiet around here but right now I'm pretty upset and could use some prayers. My husband deleted me and all my family from Facebook. I just don't know what brought this up... we've been seperated for a year now. I'm so upset and scared, I'm shaking. I don't want to give up my stand but this hurts. Thank ya'll!

I'm so sorry Lindsey I know how you must feel. If you need to just stay off social media for a while. I did this in the beginning of my stand and it helped me so much not to see or worry about anything in that regard. I'll keep you prayer so your strength and endurance can be renewed while God's divine plan is done in your life.

I agree that social media is a really big trap. I changed my Facebook so the only stuff that comes up on my newsfeed is messages from Klove, focus on the family, and other ministries who post verses and encouragement. As much as I can, I avoid checking Chris's Facebook. I understand too because Chris has two Facebook accounts - one that he is married to me on and one that is his "secret account" I am not even supposed to know about that he made for his girlfriend at the time. He swears to me now that he just has his military friends on there and I wonder sometimes, but can't let that ruin things for me. Remember God says to focus on what is right, lovely, pure, admirable, praiseworthy. God has made promises for your marriage and despite what is happening at this moment in the storm, He knows the outcome and He has revealed things to you with His promises. Don't forget that you are not standing alone. You have the only person who can fix this standing with you

Hi Sharon and Marissa... thank ya'll for your responses. You are both so right. And I had a big "ah ha" moment too, thanks to a friend... she told me that maybe this is God's way of wanting me to give up my need to be in control... wanting to know everything that Andy is doing. I need to trust in God and what he is doing. I don't understand this right now but it'll all work out.

Praying for you Lindsey. Marissa and Sharon are right... there is rarely peace or positivity to be found on social media in my opinion. I'm glad a friend could help you see how God can work even in something like this.

Thank you Adrienne, you're exactly right. It just had me wonder why, all of a sudden, he'd delete me, since we've been seperated a year. But I'm making myself sick worrying about it. I'm very grateful for my friend that helped me see things from a positive view, because I'm always seeing things negatively.

This forum is my main source of social media these days. I still occasionally get on Facebook, but my husband doesn't have an account. His girlfriend does though, & I often fight the urge to go peak at her page to see if there are any new pictures of him on it. I never knew she existed so I had no way of seeing it, but after I found out about her in February, we found her on Facebook and there were pictures of them together, laughing & traveling all over & enjoying life the entire three years we had been separated. She referred to him as her 'other half' when someone inquired as to who he was. Now I'm having a hard time getting those images out of my head. I wish I had never seen them. Knowing they leave May 30 for Cabo sickens me. He and I were supposed to be the ones traveling now that the kids are all grown. And he's spoiling every vacation destination there is by going there with her.

Hey pstokes  I'm so sorry you're having to go through that. I will be praying for you. I'm very tempted to deactivate my facebook for awhile. Just so I won't even have to be reminded that we're growing even further apart. It's so confusing but I'm trusting in God and his plan for me. |

Ladies I totally understand how you feel. I strongly urge you to stay away from looking if you can. The OW seeks me out so that her "news" gets to me. Not knowing is so much better. The images are hard to forget. The thoughts and what ifs. The wondering. I just know these relationships are temporary. That is the best peace. Our men/women can't run from God forever. This is just a season ladies. It's hard. It's hard for me to even type it out right now. I know God is going to be faithful to us.

You know what stirs up anger more then anything for me is these ow don't care at all about these men they are "in love" with. They are tempting them and begging them down the path towards the enemy and away from Gods plan. They are stealing their souls and it makes me so furious. Imagine how much more angry that must make God. He will definitely not stand for it though. He never lets anyone get away with being unjust and he will make this right.

Thanks Annie and Sharon, ya'll are both exactly right. And I guess a praise to this could be that, as far as I know, there's no OW in my situation. My husband has said that even though we were seperated that as long as we are married then he would not be with anyone else. I'm hoping that is true. But I feel awful for those of ya'll that have other people involved. That is horrible. There are so many fish in the sea, I'll never understand how someone could get involved with someone else that is married. I will continue to pray for ya'll |
