Your Question:
Why did my partner leave me when I needed them most?
Answer:
My heart goes out to you in your pain. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to feel like your partner has left you when you needed them most. As I reflect on the passage you shared, I see that often, one partner may feel like they're giving more than the other, and this can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration. It's as if the addict, in this case, has become the focus of their life, and the relationship has taken a backseat. This can be especially true when one partner feels like they're constantly sacrificing for the other, but not receiving the same level of commitment and intimacy in return. I've seen this in my own ministry, where couples struggle to maintain a healthy balance in their relationship. But here's the thing: sin is not rational, and it doesn't consider the consequences of its actions. It's driven by a desire for more, and it can lead people to make choices that ultimately harm themselves and others. As someone who's been married for 19 years, I can attest that maintaining a healthy relationship requires effort, sacrifice, and a willingness to put the other person's needs before your own. It's not always easy, but it's worth it.
