I need some advice. How do you all cope with the anger that comes from feeling like your significant other has chosen the church over you?
Recently my active spouse tried to "leave" the church. But the pain of letting down his family and friends was so overwhelming for him, he decided to go back, like back 100% - calling, tithing, the whole deal.
I get that this is HIS spiritual journey. But it doesn't feel like he stayed for any spiritual reason. It feels (to me) that he stayed because he wanted the bishop and his mother to approve of him more than he wanted to be with me and follow the truth.
DISCLAIMER: I am sure I'm being unfair. I know hat this choice is not about me. I don't know the inter workings of his soul, maybe he stayed for very good spiritual reasons. I should be grateful we aren't getting a divorce. But I *feel* so angry.
My anger is consuming me. How do I let it go?
