My "shameless" relationship with my ex wife
by Jayk in
1. social
2. relationships
i've thought about keeping this to myself but i'm still confused on what i should do.. my ex wife(never been a jw) and myself(raised in the org till 16)have been reconnecting these past few weeks.

we been divorced for almost 10 years, we got married when we where pretty young, and it didnt last long.. fast forward 10 years, her and i have been reconnecting and things are getting semi serious.. she got remarried, divorced again, and recently broke up with her gf.

so in the past 10 years she has only been with 3 people (including myself) and here comes me "a sucker with no self esteem".

sorry for the grammar and spelling errors if any..(me 29 raised in the org) (gf 25 not raised) just left her at the hospital with (call her sara).. sara had just ingested half a bottle of her antidepressant pill and half a bottle of melatonin.

this took place after a discussion we where having about a recent event that took place.

long story short, sara told me she slept with my best friend/coworker(call him tim) after a argument we had, the morning after it supposedly happened.. i was pretty torn but i was maintaining and i even thought sara was lying because tim was such a good friend.

i've often spoken of my xjw friend and his younger chinese partner.

my friend was kicked out of yhwh's "clean" organisation when he was around 60. .

before he became a witness at around age 17-18, he did appreciate that he was attracted to other guys.

in a nutshell.

a group of about 6 women who have been friends practically their whole lives that i personally know are leaving there jw husbands.

my understanding is they're starting to see the hypocrisy of the .org.
