This is actually my first post. But i am going through a situation thats related to this thread. I have been sealed to my first and current wife for only three months. We met at a YSA conference in Nauvoo and had a long distance relationship. I was in Illinois going to school and she was in Des Moines Iowa. We got married less than a year from meeting and now the girl that i met at the dance is not the same that i know now.
She has exhibited that she has bi-polar issues. I dont know if she was in a manic state when we were engaged and now there is the other extreme. She does not want to do family prayer, scripture study, or family home evening. She has become very controlling. She wanted to have a joint account so i agreed, but she would go on wild spending sprees once we got paid. Now i have created a separate bank account where my paychecks go. She has moved in and out with her parents twice already but still wanted to be married. Now, i have found out that she set up an account on a dating website, not church related. I dont know if anything physical happened, yet i feel so betrayed and i am tired of the immaturity. Now she has moved out again back into her parents. I understand the sacred nature of the marriage covenant. I am going to my bishop Sunday to talk about this.
She wants to annul the marriage now. I am eventually wanting to be sealed to someone else who is more mature and emotionally stable, (not attached or coddled by parents). I am a convert so im still somewhat new to the church, even though its been two years since i was baptized.
What can or should i do in this situation? I dont think worthiness is the issue on her part,
but not understanding the sacred nature of marriage and treating our marriage like its a high school sweetheart deal.
She has lied to her family about me. Supposedly, im violent towards her, (i walk away when she starts screaming her head off at me.) I allegedly break the Word of Wisdom, (not true).
I want this marriage to work out but im afraid its too late.
Will I be in trouble if we divorce? Can I remarry again? Do I have to surrender my temple recommend now until a "divorce clearance" is granted?
