allen, i am in the EXACT same circumstance, no divorce, 1 yr of praying & pleading, kids, my wife lives with her new man with our children. if fully understand your desire to quit..i wrote a long post for you and erased the whole thing. i stopped and prayed and asked god, "god what do i tell someone to help them, when i dont have the answer either?" and back came "WAIT"
allen, i am not one to ever say 'God told me' because i am never sure whether he really did..but i can tell you that i was still arguing with god about telling someone to wait when i dont know them or what has happened and while still arguing with him i flipped my bible open and this was the verse that jumped off the page...ps 37:34 "Wait on the lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it"
So allen you will have to draw your own conclusions but i take that as a clear directive from your heavenly father to tell you to WAIT! I know it is hard, but you should probably pray alot about it...before you give up i would like you to know there are many here on this site who are "standers" they are people like you and i who are praying for our wayward mates..for god to get a hold of them and turn them back to gods plan for their lives..there is also a website for standers.
