House Divided by Religion

Quote:
The Jewish sabbath begins at sundown on Friday evening and ends at sundown on Saturday evening. Yes, very strict Jews do not work on the sabbath--there are a lot of very specific laws as to what constitutes work and what does not. Sounds like your husband's group is pretty much free-wheeling it, and deciding whatever they want, not following thousands of years of traditions.

That's one of the very exact things I brought up to him. This has been going on for a few months now. Ive had many quarrels with him over this. Been completely honest and its got to the point that when I bring it up he doesn't even try to dispute with me he just focuses me out completely. He says "I wont let him speak" so decides there's no reason to even talk to me.

Matter fact, the all nighter behavior is starting to spread into regular days, not just Saturday. He came home this morning wanting to go to Ihop with me. I don't do breakfast too well. I get sick if I do. So I told him I didn't want to eat but I would go with him to get himself something. And he said he didn't want to do that, that he wanted me to eat with him. I then said, well if you don't want to go to Ihop cause of me not eating with you there, then perhaps we can go to the store, pick some stuff up and I will make you breakfast myself. He got mad and said no to that too. Then told me that a friend of his wanted him to go out to eat with him this morning, and he told him that he had already made plans with me. So he had to turn down his friend. I just stared at him for a while, processing this in my head. Then simply said "Fine go with your friend then if that's what this is all about". Something tells me that he told his friend to meet him there. Cause soon as I told him that he went to call his friend.

You don't have a religion problem. You have a selfish jerk problem.

If he wants to make such a drastic change in his life, it is his obligation to raise the kids HOW THE TWO OF YOU agreed first. Then once the kids are grown and on their own, if he wants to become a Tibetan monk, shave his head and live on a mountain top, GO FOR IT. If he really believes in god, then he should have picked up on the keeping your promises, honoring commitments part. I know I am not religious now, but i did more than my share of bible reading and I am pretty sure that is in there.

I am guessing that the "religion" is an excuse to cover something else.

I agree. If you have a son then he is learning how to treat women from his dad.
