Disciple of Prayer
I am in a toxic marriage. I always saw the warning signs and ignored them or explained them away by trying to change through love is what i told myself. I prayed about this relationship and told God that if I wasn't supposed to be with this man, that x y and z would happen. Well x & y happened. and I stayed. 3 1/2 years later, we have a daughter and are married... I now believe that this was not the marriage or relationship God intended for me. I tried to take control and put myself here. I believe that my daughter is a blessing. A way of God taking something broken and bringing beauty from it. We argue, bad. We scream and yell, holes in the wall and door, he throws divorce around. I am not saying that he is all to blame, I have my toxic behaviors that do not help the matters, but i do believe that while he may not be a full-on narcissist, he has qualities of one. I am a Christian, as is he. But i have found myself wanting out. I have not been the one to want a divorce, but in our last recent argument he mentioned it and I said fine. Now something has shifted in me, and I do not believe that things will truly change. I have been praying for a change in the relationship or deliverance from it. There were many times I should have walked away before we were married, and did not. Iam struggling with the thought of praying for this man to violate our vows even more just so I can leave it. But we are not healthy for each other, or a good example of love and marriage for our daughter. I need prayers for discernment and strength, as well as change or deliverance. But that I would be obedient to whatever the will of God may be.
