The reason why I put "You're Married" in parenthesis was because I can't remember what he said, just, the "I gotta go" part. Drunk-driving.

We should've broken up a long time ago, yet, we're still together. We fought daily and had sex daily for five years. After four and half, she stopped smoking (Pot) and then we stopped having sex, eventually.

I don't remember anything about it. But, she was a virgin until I met her, maybe he knew and wanted her to stay with me.
I just have a few minuites before flight. It seems that you still have a question, or at least some kind of concern as it relates to God's view of you two.

This was intrusive, and I question his sense of entitlement to do this. My view, but I'm sure the view of many others with any sense. The spoken words that God would recognize here would primarily be any vows that the two of you would consent and agree to.

Some may speak a word based in His truth, but, if it is not received than it's influence, is diminished. A good example: Promises from God, are for the peace that we could enjoy before the time and season before the blessing materializes. The blessing is still there, but it's completion may not be realized.

An interesting look at spoken words, that has always facinated me, is in Numbers 30. Notice that it specifically relates to daughters, the son is not mentioned. He specically has the authority to free daughters from a rash vow.

Number 30

3"Also if a woman makes a vow to the LORD, and binds herself by an obligation in her father's house in her youth,

4and her father hears her vow and her obligation by which she has bound herself, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand.

5"But if her father should forbid her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her because her father had forbidden her.

6"However, if she should marry while under her vows or the rash statement of her lips by which she has bound herself,

7and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand.

I hope this finds you well, beach. It seems that the two of you, already have an emotional separation, but, there is something that is refered to as "soul ties", that I don't understand. You may want to Google that, and see what comes up. My understanding is very limited on this topic. There are many others more qualified to explain much of this. I wonder, beach if you might concider if more of a geographic separation would also be better. If your life is stagnant there, It would be my opinion that the separation would help you move on with your life,.....instead of losing more years, if thats the case.

I have brought up alot of things that has someone or somethings all tweeked. It's Ok let things play out. It could get very interesting. Plus, the kid could get free.

Concerning tormenting questions, I experienced something that had put questions in my mind. In some way similar to yours, of coarse the details are different. I have had some medical issues which are fine now, but, there was a season before they were resolved that I wondered If something that I experienced from the dark ones, could have had something to do with it. This passage, comforted me. That Gods ability to protect is greater than the enemies ability to reach.

God, will watch our back doors and windows, but, what we open the front door to, is allowed in by ourselves. God told me some time ago, that "what I allow, is allowed, What I disallow is disallowed.

This describes the protection, a metophor.

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day.
