Speaking of which -
I need prayers from you all. Myrna left Thursday evening, and I donāt know when or if sheāll be back. This is the sixth or seventh time she has done this, but only the first time sheās ever actually TOLD me she was leaving. She said she āneeded some spaceā, and was going to stay at a hotel or somewhere for a few days and ādecide what to doā. Said sheād pick up some meds for our dog at the vet and stop by with them on Saturday.
At about mid-afternoon, she showed up with a Sheriffās Deputy and our daughter and SIL. Loaded up a bunch of her stuff, and our dog, and left.
She has a long history of lying, for no reason mostly, other than a few bad decisions sheās made, and Iām a stickler about honesty, so usually when I catch her in a lie, I get angry.
Iāve never laid a hand on her or anything like that, but that doesnāt stop her from telling everyone (including the Sheriff apparently) that sheās āafraid of meā. This cycle of leaving - returning has been going on since 1985, three years after we got married. The last time she left (about 5 years ago) she filed for divorce, but came back, just before the divorce was final, when I kept begging her to.
Her dishonesty and deceit is what nearly all our āfightsā are about.
She admits ( most of the time) to lying but acts like she canāt help it. Weāve been to professional counseling numerous times - together, separately, and group, over the years (plus LOTS of praying) but it still seems to only help temporarily. She admits to lying all the time, but blames me for it.
99/100 of her lies are over absolutely meaningless, trivial things that are of no consequence, or would be better if the truth were told.
Anywayā¦ please pray for us, if you will. I know there is nothing too big for God. Iāve tried all I know to try, and everything has failed. I believe it was Godās intervention that caused her to come back five years ago, and Myrna agreed and promised she would NEVER leave againā¦
Thanks for your prayers yāall. šš»
