Be careful...there's a lot more underneath that hood than you may realize!

So if you feel that faith is a split between the two of you maybe it is a good time to seperate and do a bit of soul searching. I would suggest however, that in doing so you keep it as civil as possible. As you have said she is a good women and for many years a good wife & mother that deserves respect.

You're probably right, but I think it is such a stupid thing to have to separate over religion. But if she won't listen to reason, I may not have a choice. Sometimes I feel like she's married to two people: me and the church - and I'm husband #2 both literally and figuratively!
I would try and keep it civil. I would never want to do anything that would harm the image of her in our children's eyes. Just b/c we are having problems doesn't mean that I have a right to do that. She is their mother and I respect that.
This woman is a good person, but I don't want to force change upon her. I want her to do it b/c she wants to. You can't make someone change. I'm thinking that the only way I can get her to take a serious look at what she is doing is something drastic. I've tried everything else I can think of and leaving seems like one of my only options. There's also a selfish reason too: I don't want to have to wait another 10 years before she finally gets it. I'm 49 right now and am not getting any younger. I want to enjoy this life while I still can; life's just too short!
