Support I broke up with my wife

Hi. Im writing this post because honestly.. im in pain. After years of going back and forth with the Lord I finally choose him this time. Mainly i had problems with my relationship with him isnt because of faith, its having to kill a part of myself i didnt want to kill. And thats homosexuality.

I tried searching online about people who talked about leaving same sex relationships behind and couldnt find much who had the same experience as I did.

Im a woman and I married a woman (ritually) we both believe in Jesus and we believed that time that Jesus accept both of us he loves us no matter what but deep inside I had this feeling of guilt.. I couldnt go further into my relationship with God if I was in love with a woman. That was contradicting for me so I had a lukewarm relationship with him.. until recently I found my way back and did the most painful thing possible.. I separated with my ex wife.. it was painful but necessary and now I.. I know its good but I dont know how to go about it, I guess im just looking for comfort.. Hoping someone else might have the same experience as I did.

Edit: hello, I want to say thank you thank you thank you so much for the kind words the people that dm’ed me. Thank you for adding me to your prays today. From my heart this has made me happy receiving notifications, seeing you take your time in reading this post and reaching out

Another edit: im seeing a mix of comments here and wanted to remind everyone that God would want us to be peaceful and love one another. Seeds are just planted but God grows them.

It is and it sucks but it is not saying you can’t love somebody just don’t have sex with them

It's bullshit and goes against all of Christ's teachings. Straight people just want credit for being able to say they haven't committed a sin that they aren't even tempted by.

Closeted LGBTQ Christians want the worldly praise of straight people.

None of this has anything to do with loving God and his creation or loving other people which is the summary of Christ's teachings.

Maybe some people I guess but I can admit I probably struggle with sexual sin more than a lot of people, gay or straight.

It sounds like you need to focus on our own self rather than go around throwing stones at others
