Religion has brainwashed me and my kids!! Its very difficult to be married to a Christian extremist who puts all of her trust and dependence on something that isn't there. It's scary. She has a kind heart but my marriage won't work anymore because she told me that she will never walk away from her god. Life is too short and valuable to live your life based on a book and false information on how you should live your life.

I deconverted while my previous / late wife remained a believer. Neither of us saw any reason why our marriage "wouldn't work anymore". If she hadn't died, we'd still be together. Our relationship wasn't based on religion, it had to do with mutual respect and mutual interests.

On the other hand my wife didn't insist that I live my life based on her religion. Maybe that's the problem??

I completely understand where you are coming from, however my wife is an extremist to the extreme. She still wants to debate and have her god guide her ever footstep and feels that me walking away from her god is tearing our family and marriage apart. When i walked away from god before she told me that I wouldn't have turned around if she wouldn't have prayed for me. She told me before that when i left i was destroying not only her life but her kids future as well. It was guilt and shame just like religion because she believes in generational curses. Sorry to ramble on, but no I can't and won't stay married to her.

Did you just find this out or did none of it matter until recently? Something as simple as a change in family money supply can trigger and set off many things and it may not all happen instantly. My advice would be counciling and I don't mean the religious councilor.

She doesn't have to "walk away" from God, she just have to stop ramming it down your and anybody els throat. Just like you have to stop doing the opposite.

Excuse me but it's hard for me to understand "how you married a person whose beliefs are so different from yours".

So sorry for your situation, those who believe in that mythology are brainwashed. It was started to control the population and gain wealth and it is an insidious invention of the powerful on this planet. It will be the ruin of civilization and we don't have long.
