I didn't know what a JW was, until I fell for one

by headoverheels in

when i fell for him i was completely unaware of his upbringing as a jw and only became aware once he decided to leave a few months back.

being raised without much of a religious basis, besides the typical western christian exposure, i have researched, read, attended groups, read in this forum, to try to better understand him, and jws, but i am feeling at a loss here.

he just recently left the jws and now i am experiencing this struggle with him; i am wondering how much of our problems can be contributed to this transition.

Here's my advice. Give him a link to this thread. Is there a chance he's a poster here?

Also, I'm not going to tell you to leave him. That's your decision and yours alone. I might remind you that, according to your words, you "fell" for him, so thinking about what's best for the situation will be difficult to put in an objective light.

Abusers all have a common theme of failing to take responsibility for their actions. Blaiming you for his poor behavior is a very bad sign. Compounding this is the fact that you obviously care about him and you are trying to help. He has no business blaiming you for anything.

Even the most worthless cull ever born will have some good quality. Humans are not of a pure nature. However, ask yourself if you're better off together, or apart. Hear your heart, but remember to use your head.

And that, that's all I got to say 'bout that.

Yeah, never a good idea for a guy to tell his lady to shut the f*** up. Much better to get ear plugs.

John Doe, marriage isn't a punishment. It's a blessing and an opportunity to grow as a person, if you do it right.

StAnn

If they were doing it right, they wouldn't be talking about divorce; hence, my statement is more apt than yours.

Marriage is sacred and too important to throw away after 40 years and 4 children. They vowed "for better or worse." Growing apart isn't an acceptable reason to divorce in my book.

40 years is two life sentences with no parole. I'd say they've done their time and can do whatever the hell they want!
