- Go to "Christians" Can Be SO Annoying
hopefully they say things out of real concern for you
Divorce is so difficult and yes sometimes it is necessary, even for us Christians.
I would want to spare anyone that kind of pain. Good luck....

Sometimes people need reminding that you may have already tried
out all that they suggested. I think the trouble is that people imagine that they have a solution that you have overlooked when in fact if anything it's the opposite.

Gotta side with you on this...
I don't know what it is about people who think they can solve your problems for you. It's worse than irksome; it's insulting and it's a demeaning way to treat others.
I have a fairly troubled, dysfunctional marriage. I don't know what the future holds, and I'll spare you the details, but I have a couple "friends" who encourage me to talk about the situation. Usually after I've spilled my guts, they'll say something that makes me feel worse.
If others can't butt out or be helpful, then I suppose our only choice is to shut up. God will give us the wisdom to work things through ourselves, with His help.
This is for you, me, and anybody else who's in need of some kindness:
