While I am fully accepting in my atheism, I married my wife as a Christian 13 years ago. She is devout but does not know about the change I’ve undergone. So now, my days are full of anxiety as I prepare to tell her. And oddly, while I am fully prepared to lose her, I am not ready to lose my daughters who are 6 and 4. I am currently seeking therapy as I know this is not going to be pretty as nearly my entire family are devout practicing Christians. Having been in therapy previously, I know that part of it is having a support system in place. Obviously I need other like minded individuals in my support system. I found this forum during a late night web binge on being an atheist for the first time.
As you can see, it’s the definition of being between a rock and a hard place. Thanks for hearing me out.
If it's as bad as you reckon it is, do you have to tell her?
Regardless of the outcome, I can’t keep living a lie. It’s taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally.
