If she's still married, I think any Christian is bound to support that. Separation and tough love may be necessary, but I would say it's wrong to give up on reconciliation. If he were to abandon her, or take up with another woman unrepentantly, then it would be right to divorce and Kiwi the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656977260755719619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-1131603328267981602005-11-10T00:15:00.000-06:002005-11-10T00:15:00.000-06:00If this person isn't your blood, I'd say never min...If this person isn't your blood, I'd say never mind. There's nothing wrong with protecting yourself from further harm. With immediate family, you have to balance that with reconciling the family relationship. I'm not so sure about that, but wise ones have told me so. <BR/><BR/>However, Marielle is right in saying that you may not have forgiven him.

If he makes you uncomfortable, you have not forgiven him. Forgiveness requires both the intellectual- which you have done- and the emotional, which you have not.
