[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 276292, member: 135"] Well, I do understand not wanting to break a vow. I have a pretty strong moral code myself; again, not necessarily the same as everybody else's, but important to me. However, marriage vows are something you exchange WITH EACH OTHER. If he doesn't keep up his end, I'm not sure you are bound by yours; they are not one-sided. Maybe that's a valid way to look at it; maybe it's just making excuses; I don't know. I do know that there comes a time when, if other people are dumping on you, you owe it to yourself and the universe to do what you need to do to get on with it. I know you feel like you are between a rock and a hard place and it isn't my place to tell you what to do but maybe you need to look at it from another perspective. Vows are important and one of my own moral compasses is to always keep my word; however, if you gave your word after being misled by somebody else, I'm not sure you are bound to uphold that. Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
