I have read various dicussions about divorce. I've seen some members says being divorced is common and you won't be judged. I've seen others say to work on it. My issue...I've been in and out of the church since birth. Become active again almost a year ago. My marriage was in chaos. I mentioned church, but he didn't seem interested. Low and behold my prayers paid off and he did some work for a nice LDS couple and got him interested. He was bapitized and we started going to services. He accepted a calling and become part of the priesthood. I stayed wary, for I knew of the commitment to the church. He didn't take it too seriously after a couple of months. I enjoy church and what it offers me and my children. We have only been married 3 years. We have one child together. We are a blended family with 5 other children. Money is very low and we live paycheck to paycheck. My husband is a recovering alcoholic/addict. He was unfaithful within the first year. Lots has changed but he remains unkind in his words to others, spends money on himself for almost illegal substantes, lies about taking the money to do so, watches porn, and judges others always. I want to be sealed in the temple someday and be married to a kind and caring man, ho is selfless and dependable. I want my children to be able to look up to him. I've prayed, I've fasted. I've told him I want a divorce. I want to move forward with my life and my children's lives. Is that wrong? He now blames the church for this. I just can't find myself staying with him. We are two different people. We have tried counseling three times...
