I encourage you to strengthen your faith. I’ve found faith and conviction not an excuse, rather a reason, a heading. I am going into my sixth year divorced, and my vows are intact. Do not let the actions and behaviours of your spouse dictate when you forgo your vows. That, is within your complete control.
Remaining faithful, compassionate, empathetic, forgiving, etc, can all still occur amidst the chaos. And one can let go, grieve, move forward, and stand. It is most interesting discovering one’s foundation under their own lighthouse. The base which all is built upon.
I am still a hopeful optimistic guy. I believe no situation is hopeless; nothing is that dark and devoid of hope. At times, hope may be a wee flame, yet within the darkness that tiny flicker will still shine a path.
Have faith, the path is often not what we feel it should be, rather the path is what we need it to be. After all, there can be no testament without being tested.
Faith and purposeful actionable steps are not mutually exclusive. In fact, divorce busting principles serve best with a faithful foundation.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
