I am going through a divorce now.
I grew up in the borg. Got married at 25.In 1986. She was 24 and an auxiliary pioneer. She started regular pioneering. I became an elder. And she used to brag to others about how she had an elder for a husband.Of course I did not find this out until after she left. She also became a Stanley Theatre Tour guide for the society.
But with all I was doing, I cooked, cleaned, raked the big yard, vacuumed, washed clothes, washed dishes etc. etc. because I felt that a husband and wife should work together.
While seeking justice during my case which lasted from 1998-2000 my ex walked out on me in July 2000 while I was away visiting my sister in California. I did not know she was going to leave and there was no discussion about it. Her brother-in law and another brother helped her move with a truck. My long-time neighbor witnessed this and told me when I came back from California.
I know for a fact that even prior to her leaving, she had gone to the elders and told them I was an apostate.
I also know that they encouraged her to leave, but she has her own responsibility in this because she is the one who made the decision. And even though she abandoned me and has always worked and banked her own money, that wicked witch is trying to get alimony from me!
But the borg definitely played a part in breaking up our marriage and when the worldwide class action suit gets underway, this will be just one of the issues I intend to sue them on.
I would not take her back under any circumstances. Period.
