Phae: I popped in to see how things went over Thanksgiving. I know Christmas will probably be tough. Don't give up on your spouse. As he sees you progress outside of "the truth", he might see there is another way.
Just when you think you're past it all...

I am there with you.
I am NOW the "unbelieving mate" who, in my case, is enjoying a career with retirement benefits instead of just a job to get to the end of this system of things.
I am watching my mother and my wife's mother start to grow old fully-invested...
My spouse is still invested because "there is no better alternative...."
I continue to share your sentiment: May they all find their freedom one day.
May they find freedom from the oppression of their authentic selves.

Sometimes we need to accept their decisions and respect their right to live their lives. I bite my tongue when I talk to my mom.
I just try to leave religion out of our conversations.
It must be hard on your spouse also.
They are mourning you in their heart trying to find a way to wake you up. They think they will be blood guilty if they cant bring you back. They wonderv what they didnt do right.
Look in the mirror and you will see their despair on your face.
