I married a man I had dated for 7 years 3 days before I left to join the army, we have never lived together as husband and wife, I slept with him once almost 3 years later, but only because I came home to visit and stayed with him to go through some of my things and he would not take no for an answer, he would not stop badgering me about having sex and I said no, and no and no, but he didnt care. I do not feel like I love him the way a wife is supposed to love her husband, when He touches me, my skin crawls, when I do not want to have sex he does it anyway. He once left me to fend for myself while I was having a miscarriage, because he was drunk and he had broke out in hives he wouldnt take me to the hospital, a friend of mine took me and I stayed for 2 days and had to have a D & C. he never even came to the hospital. When I gained some wieght, he followed me around the house making pig noises when ever I ate anything. He is mean and I do not love him, I married him before I was saved, I was not married in church, I was married by a judge, and after the ceremony, I went to my apt and he went to his house. this man has alot of issues regarding relationships, he is very clingy, he drinks too much, he is abusive, he uses the word nigger, and I am bi-racial and find it very offensive, he cusses at me and calls me a "Dumb-ass" He and I are not equally yoked, and I made this choice before I knew Christ, He still wants me to come back, but god forgive me I do not want to. He is one of those people who says he loves god, but he does not submit to god, he loves god his own way. I need guidence, I am still a babe in christ. Please Help, I love the lord so much, but this situation is very confussing to me. PS.... I live in California and he lives in Virginia.
