Today is Chapter One of my new life

Sorry to hear you ended your marriage. I know many atheists who have married religious people. They make it work. All relationships need to be worked with to be successful. Religion or not.

He said he still loves his wife. Perhaps he could make it work with her, but that's the key: making it work. All one can do is try. If two people love each other, I would think they could do that with some help, perhaps?

I know that I'll have a few regrets and I'll wish that some things could change. The hardest part is that I still love my wife

But I know it can't work. I respect her and want her to live a good and happy life. But I have to move on.

^?

It's just that the phrasing in both your posts appears to imply that he didn't try. I don't think that's a fair assumption to make.

one thing is for sure, this reason is a cop out. there is way more wrong with the marriage than this.  And he may be the problem if he is pointing to this as a major one.

I wasn't assuming anything. All anyone can do is go off of info one chooses to provide. Dayum. Stop acting like I was being shitty about it. I already explained myself.

I didn't take offense to your post. I know that our marriage COULD have worked out but it was more of a long term view that I just didn't think was viable. The only way it could work would be if my wife left the religion too. But even then, that would take years and I still doubt that it would ever happen. I know that I took the pessimistic path, but i know it was the right decision

Hey sorry to hear that you have ended your relationship with your wife. I hope everything goes well for you with your new adventure.

I only said that the phrasing made it sound like that, which is why you may have come off that way.

Thanks for the call out Feel free to criticise my criticisms all day long and no offense will be taken.

Breaking up is hard to do. Sometimes it is the right thing to do, but it's easier to drag it out instead. So I respect that you took the action you thought was best. The rest of our lives is a long time and we have to consider what is best for everyone. Being with someone when you're not happy isn't fair on them anyhow.

I wish you all the best for the future.
