Murderer of Love: A Widening Cravasse

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-widening-cravasse.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. For the first time in my life, I think I can relate to the pioneers," J said as he finished editing a video for our Stake Pioneer Trek. I was surprised. I could not remember a time when I didn't. Feel keenly for my ancestors. Their struggles mirrored my own in ways, and I said as much to J. Of course," he said dismissively. "You lived in a tent. You didn't grow up like everybody else.". His comment bothered me. I thought that they would under...

Murderer of Love: June 2015

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Sunday, June 28, 2015. I'd returned home knowing that I was going to ask for a divorce, and yet even saying the words out loud felt impossible. It seemed as if every few minutes I'd come up short, startled at our perfectly ordinary life- at how pedestrian and innocuous J looked- and I'd think, " Really. I can't handle this. I called lawyers. I made plans. I prayed about how to tell J. That didn't go well. Credit card in my. But he refused. "You can have $200," h...

Murderer of Love: October 25, 2014

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2015/08/october-25-2014.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Thursday, August 13, 2015. October 25, 2014. October 25, 2014 was the day that I knew my marriage was unequivocally and irretrievably broken. I've been attempting to write about it for the last several weeks, discarding drafts and hoping to make sense of it all, but it's a difficult head space to dwell in. I find that most times, it's so raw and confusing that my mind is only able to skim along the surface of it. I know there's more. He started out by asking how I f...

Murderer of Love: Weary of Days and Hours

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2015/06/weary-of-days-and-hours.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Monday, June 15, 2015. Weary of Days and Hours. My stomach sank as soon as I pulled into the driveway. The trees in the front yard were perfectly pruned, the bushes were freshly trimmed, and the walkway had recently been swept clean. I knew I was looking at a full Saturday worth of work, which meant that J had spent the weekend at the house even though I'd made it very clear. That for the duration of our separation, the house was entirely off limits to him.

Murderer of Love: Death and Insincerity

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2015/07/death-and-insincerity.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. I boarded the plane with relief. The last 24 hours had been trying. Finally, I'd had to endure the drive to the airport with J, who took the opportunity to tell me how selfish and entitled I was for going on the trip to Europe. "It was a work trip! He complained bitterly, "there was no real reason for you to go! I know," I replied. "That's why I told you for weeks that we should cancel. You're the one who kept saying I should go.". And yet f...

Murderer of Love: Priesthood, Agency, and the Fallible Mortal

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2015/01/priesthood-agency-and-fallible-mortal.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Priesthood, Agency, and the Fallible Mortal. I, like so many women who have been affected by a loved one's sex addiction, have had both good and bad experiences with the men called of God to counsel with me in times of crisis. During our first separation, J and I had an amazing. Instead. He might be indignant that you aren't pleased with his progress- but how can you be? You're sitting in a big pile of manure that he.

Murderer of Love: December 2014

http://amurdereroflove.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability. Saturday, December 20, 2014. J's pain was both short lived and fruitless. He came to me one afternoon and announced that he'd discovered he was co-dependent. "I've been spending all this time trying to make you. Happy," he explained, "thinking that it would make me. Happy I should be focusing more on myself.". My figurative jaw dropped. This has been you trying to make me happy? I thought, my inner sarcasm kicking in. Well that was an epic fail! Why are you always s...
