I have seen at least one example where, after a divorce was filed by one parent, the other parent ramped up religious involvement, then persuaded several other congregants to actively join in the litigation. When the litigation concluded, so did the religious involvement.

Haha my wife would go to church with me and she would always go up to receive a blessing from the priest, while I received communion. I would go solo often but a few weeks before she monkey branched me she went with me and declined to go get a blessing. I remember telling her “wait what are you doing let’s go” and she said she wasn’t going. I asked why and she just said I’m not going up it’s fine… it’s so clear now but yeah about 3 weeks before she dropped divorce on me and monkey branched my ass. She had planned her exit for at least a couple months. 18 years together btw lol this was like 4.5 months ago. If this helps another catholic brotha out here, BIG red flag 😂

Mine did and also wanted to find herself and seena therapist. I'm all about Christ, but the signs pointed towards divorce. She said I had nothing to worry about, but 2 months later she split from me.

I called it, and she gaslit me when I brought it up.

No- exactly the opposite.

Mine started acting very religious after we split up all of the sudden. I would’ve been in favor if she acted that way when we were married but she was just fucking miserable all around

she got a buzz cut

Reading everyone’s stories gives me almost no hope in civilization. How can you really know the person you marry? They can mask up to get you and just as easily mask up to leave you. I know it’s not exclusive to women but damn

KingJon85 · 2026-03-01T18:17:17+00:00

Yes. She told me "God told me to leave you."

But I assume it was her affair partner that told her to leave.

My ex and I were both (and still are) very devoted to our Christian faith.

Mine has decidedly drifted away from faith which I think attributed to her “new found self.” No moral compass.

ddawgg1988 · 2026-03-01T16:38:31+00:00

Yes mine did. She was taking off her wedding ring when she was going to church and she said it was to "separate church from marriage". She was also having an emotional affair with a Dr at work. I went to a church service with her to try and support her in something she enjoyed, and the whole sermon was about divorce and the reasons why you cannot get a divorce which were her reasons she wanted a divorce from me. She filed a month later.

Badwater134 · 2026-03-01T15:54:30+00:00

Yes, and I believe it was to assuage her guilt for filing, for cheating, and to boost her feelings of moral superiority. Also to present the impression to family and friends that she was someone of great character and virtue.

Her conviction was not as strong as she portrayed given that she took her own life just over three months after the divorce she wanted was final. How are those supposed to align with each other? Isn't such an act frowned upon in religious circles?

TeddyPSmith · 2026-03-01T15:35:45+00:00

Mine did. I think she started going to church to help her leave rather than repair the marriage. But as they say, church is the final hoe stage.

Mine became a hooker right before

Divorce is a vicious action that can destroy a person. Religion often helps cope with that feeling. “God is more forgiving”.

I had a bad habit of seeing where my kids were when not with me through the phone app. I noticed one day they were at a church. I found this odd. The only time we went to a church during our 18 year marriage unless it was a wedding/funeral.

I got the feeling that it was due to her new relationship. My daughter told me her mother told her to cover up more. Pants instead of shorts, long sleeve instead of short, and no more crop tops.

When I asked about it she said that it doesn’t hurt for the kids to experience new things. Fair enough, they should decide on their own. I sat them both down and we had a conversation about religion.

People can believe whatever they want, including my children. I just don’t want it forced on them due to someone without identity molding themselves to fit their new partner.
