So I have been divorced for 3 years now. During the time of my marriage and my divorce, I was in and recovering from a serious eating disorder and overall very dark time in my life. I am the one who left the marriage. At the time I did so because he was not supportive of my experience or recovery and I felt like I had married a stranger.
Since then I've gone through a lot in my own personal Journey of recovery and coming back to the Lord. I signed up for Christian Mingle with the intention of looking for a Christian partner about a month ago. Recently I did the thing I had been avoiding and really looked into what scripture says about divorce and remarriage.
I'm struggling because my ex-husband is not a follower of Christ, but I don't want to bring my sin onto an innocent brother of Christ by marrying him. I want so badly to have a Godly marriage with a partner who has the same desire. For a while I had become at peace with trying to reconcile with my ex-husband out of obedience to God's word. But now I wonder if that's really the right thing to do.
I don't know whether I'm looking for guidance or just prayer, but I feel very lost in this matter.
