House Divided by Religion

It does sound cultist, like Katy said, but it also sounds like he is so far into this there is no pulling him out to even meet on even ground. You should not have to change who you are to fit into his religion, especially because you disagree with it. If Ken became Buddist overnight, I am still a Christian, and there is nothing he can do about that!

She said she doesn't go with him because she doesn't approve of the things they discuss.

Sounds more like a cult than religion.

I totally agree, This is a cult!!!

It doesn't sound like your husband is thinking rationally or clearly. Spirituality can be a wonderful and meaningful and essential part of life and religion has much to offer. But religious fanaticism, using religion to control others, pushing away family, using poor judgement...all these would be red flags, signs of depression to me. I would seek counseling, both of you if he will go, you alone if he won't, to try to get to the bottom of it. Perhaps a heart-to-heart talk with to the family doctor.

It truly does sound like a cult.

Will he go to a marriage counseler with you?

This whole situation sounds cult-like and scary. It sounds like he's chosen his new religion and his new friends over you and your family.

Thankfully I have complete control over the bank accounts lol. He had a bank account when we got together and he does not know how to manage money. He bounced it so many times they closed on him. So now I'm in control of all that.

I've suggested it but he refuses to go to a therapist. Obviously when he was a kid his mom made him go to one for family counseling and the councilor took his mother's side, making him hate therapists.
