Welcome @newday22!
JWs are a cult and I'm happy I left, but, as several other posters have mentioned, his behavior is completely unacceptable by JW standards. Or anyone else's standards, for that matter.
I wish I could take away the pain for you, but you're going to be fine. Stronger and wiser too.
If I had a really, really mean streak, I'd show up at his Kingdom Hall, early. I'd have a nice chat with a couple of the sisters about this dear brother and let them know the contents of that e-mail. Assure the ladies that I am not interested in joining but they all seem to be very nice people. I just wanted to see where he spent so much of his time.
Don't give anyone my phone number or last name.
Wait until he arrives, shake the hands with a few elders, chatting intimately, and leave. (You can spot the elders. They will be shaking hands at the doors, wandering back and forth with an air of importance).
So, why would any self respecting person mourn the loss of such an ass. In this case, he was also the person who stayed by my side when I got really sick a few months into our relationship. Shortly after we met, I picked up a strange illness and couldn't walk without a lot of pain or the assistance of a cane. Doctors did every test possible and couldn't figure out was wrong, except my legs were bruised and swollen like hot tires so it was obvious something wasn't right. I could hardly walk and I'm a runner so it came as a total shock to suddenly be in this condition. When things got really bad, he stayed by my side was the one who insisted I go to emergency in the middle of the night and stayed with me till 5 in the morning. And he was the one who mowed the lawn, cooked for me and walked the dog while I slept cuz I couldn't walk for two months. Basically he was by my side till I healed. My car broke down on the way home from a business trip and he came straight from work to help me. I know I told the part that makes him sound just bad, but I stayed because for 2 years cause he was also there for me. That's why this deal is so hard. If he had been an ass the entire time it would be easy. He always held my hand and kept me close and hugged me in public and though we were having sex that was probably the smallest part of the things we did together. We were pretty good friends. We skied, we rode our bikes in the river valley, we sat by the fire and laughed a lot and we drank a lotta beers! We were pretty good friends. I guess that's why this doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me. He was my friendl Not looking for answers just saying... this blows :(
Was he leading his double life back then? Will you able to trust him again, after you discovered his double life? All the while he remains a JW you will come at least second place.
