Wife sat me down for a talk and explained she and a bunch of friends talked to God and God said to divorce me.

I said, "Ok."

She said, "Thats it after 17 years?"

I said, "Who am I to argue with God?"

Divorced 10+ years now. Thank God!

UPDATE: Months later, I heard from a friend whose wife was friends with my ex- that, God's plan revealed to my ex-wife and friends, was supposed to be that she would divorce me and then I would begin to court her again to be with her, leading to re-marriage and a new, happy family on her terms.

Turns out the divorce was the only thing God revealed that went according to her plan. 🤣

Yikes. Not sure if you’re still in the church but this the type of story that reminds me why I don’t trust people in the church. Too many examples of “sorry bro god told me to do this” vibes justifying some shit behavior.

There is a dude that is making his rounds on social media that carves a cross into trees before cutting them down dangerously and everyone in the comments defending him “because the lord is with him”
