Spousal Abandonment
I am desperately in need of prayers and Godly advice.
My husband and I got married in the beginning of June this year, so our marriage has only began.
However, after our honeymoon, he physically abandoned me. It’s been 9 days of separation and he has been refusing for us to meet up. In the first few days of separation, we had been on calling on the phone trying to resolve our issues, following a plan that he had made. It was for us to deeply talk about issues and find a solution before we got back together again. The issues at hand here is he believes I should be able to emotionally regulate without his help.
I suggested that we have a casual date 6 days after separation just for us to put the problems aside for positive connection and he did not want it, however he agreed. But on the day of that, he ghosted me and turned off his phone and left to his dad’s house (a ferry away).
Since then, he had not answered any of my phone calls (it’s been 3 days). Yesterday, he sent me one text saying,
“Please tell me how you are going to work on your emotional regulation.”.
I’ve been praying to God and spoke to a pastor’s wife. I shared with her the circumstances and she told me that only thing I can do now is trust in the Lord which is wonderful advice and I agree 100%. But it is hard to deny that my situation is distressing right now.
She has mentioned that either God is removing him out of my life (unequally yoked) or God will renew his heart and save him, bring him to his wife.
I’m a firm believer against divorce as I know God hates it. However the circumstances here is that I am a devout lover of God, and my husband is not really Christian but likes the teachings of the Bible.
Please don’t lecture me about marrying an unbeliever, I know my wrongs but he had also misled me.
Let me also add that my husband and I have an age gap. 27F and 45M. Also I know 100% there is no chance of cheating or that he met someone else. This is caused by our relationship problems.
I’m sorry that this post is all over the place, thank you for reading.
