i am a non jw who has been doing a fair amount of research on my own in hopes of finding some answers and understanding for my current heartwrenching situation:.
i have been dating a man for the last while, and we grew very close, very quickly.. .
suddenly he has pulled away from me, gotten very skittish and says he feels like he is leading a double life, and isn't ready for a relationship.. all the while stating that his impending divorce is the reason for his cold feet, which could be understandable except the marriage was very much "over" long ago.
Lost,
I knew of a woman in a situation much like yours. A JW man wanted a divorce, so he got involved with this non JW woman. (You see, a JW can only get divorced if there is adultery) He used it to get a divorce, and was disfellowshipped. They ended up getting married. Immediately, he worked on getting back into the religion, and put immense pressure on her to join also.
You may be being used by him to get a divorce. Be very careful!

so i have been a lurker on this forum since its inception.
i registered over a year ago.
i jumped in several months back with a highly controversial subject of my daughter being sexually abused by an elder and the efforts we were taking to bring him to justice.
I am so glad that you were able to open up and share your experiences with us. I look forward to getting to know you better.

some of my friends are weekend warriors, so to speak.
days off are not always the weekend.. do you get to chill out?
coco is semi-retired but always tired .

Good job Tylin!
im on my phone, so im really limited.
i came out to my family about my doubts and my sexuality.
shit hit the fan.
mag,
Dude, you are one of the bravest people on Earth! You just let it rip, and laid yourself wide open. I am proud of you for being true to yourself!
You have also opened yourself to finding real, unconditional friends. You are in the process of "thinning the herd." I have been out for a while now, and I may have less friends than I used to, but they are unconditional. My core support is always there for me. Even when we can't communicate because of personal circumstances and distance, I know they love and care about me.
You are going to need support. I lost all of my family except one, when I was DFed. It has been painful, but in the end it was worth it.
Keep posting, venting, and lean on friends and your support groups to help you through this transitional period.
And if you can do it, try to get some counseling professionally. If you can find someone with experience with exit counseling from cults, that will help you immensely.
Best of luck on your great adventure! PM me anytime if you need to talk, I will give you my contact information.

she wraps me in her cold embrace,.
a hold that will not let go .
.. i welcome her with half a heart, .
My heart grieves for you CoCo. I too have suffered a loss recently that saddens me greatly. I have had many good things start to happen for me lately, but they feel truly hollow in light of a recent loss of someone that I care about. I feel a gnawing emptiness inside and would love to rectify the situation, but it may be out of my hands. I hope not.
Sending out love and well wishes for everyone hurting on this day, and sincere wishes for healing. I am burning a stick of incense as a healing flame for all of us. May you all get a waft of comfort from it from far away.
