Where to begin?  This might be a bit of a ramble, so bear with me. :) I will try to be succinct. I am in an extremely unhappy place in my life. Let me see. It all started about 7 1/2 years ago - around the time when my first son was born, just after I was married. My husband started a job that he initally LOVED but quickly grew to hate it. I mean, ABHORE it. He was never a happy-go-lucky kind of person, but during his 5 years at this position, he turned into a person that I didn't marry. He was someone else.

Just curious if the church offers annulments, and what the guidelines are vs. divorce.  I'm not actually planning on getting one!

Hi folks, I've been away for a while with major life altering stuff going on. My husband and I separated a month and a half ago and I'm currently staying with family trying to sort my life out, and figure out what to do.

I could use some advice but not sure I want to lay everything out here on the forum as it's rather personal. Wanted to tell you all though, basically what's happened, as we've been through a lot together on WC over the years.

Hey all!

My friend just found out that her ex has been withholding information about his annual income, despite a court order requiring his full disclosure. Based on the difference between what he was telling her his income was and what it actually is since she forced disclosure through the court, she figures he owes her (their child, really) approximately $15,000 from the past 3 years.

I find myself being torn in a bunch of different directions. I am looking to get divorced, but coming from a Mennonite background, I have heard all my life that it is wrong, God does not condone it. I have been told that even though I get a divorce, I will still be married to my husband in the eyes of God, and that remarriage is strictly prohibited and would be seen as adultery. Before people start posting responses to this, allow me to explain why I am getting divorced.

Long story short, here is a timeline of what has happened:
