I recently went to my (newly called) bishop to talk to him about my situation with my husband. My old bishop had been a great comfort and had been helping me through it for about a year of so. It was a little awkward, but I got through it, but three wks later I\'m just thinking about something that he said that my other bishop never mentioned. Not sure if I misunderstood or what. He said \"you know that you still have to obey the laws of chastity right?\" I said \"yes\". I mean what does he he think I\'m going to do go out and date other men and sleep around?? Well then I started thinking maybe he means my own husband??? I\'m like seriously he will still be my husband? I have been married to a non member for 18 years now and we have been together for 21 years. I haven\'t been active all those years and only been very active for the last 3 years. It\'s been amazing and I went through the temple last June. Well my husband and I have been having problems for about 8 years now and he cheated on me 6 years ago. He swears that it was never consummated, but whatever. I have since forgiven him and moved on from it. But things have not been the same since and we need to be apart from each other. We are getting a legal separation so he can have \"his space\", but he wants to still be a part of my life and still cares and we have two daughters together. So, we are going to try it for a year and see if it works out. And we are not going to date other people. In my eyes that is cheating because we are still married! So does anyone know what the deal is with this?? Since we are still married and want to still date each other can we still sleep together??
