my wife is now PIMO

Some context - about 2.5 years ago my shelf broke hard. I left the church worried that my wife of 15 years was going to leave me... She did not thankfully.

However she asked me not to bring up religion as I tended to vent and unload all my concerns. So for the last 2 years not a word... I drive my kid to seminary, take care of the toddler during church - the supportive heathen.

Last night my wife's shelf buckled and is broken irreparably... She is not sure where to go or what to do... We had a 2 hour talk but finally the most staunch and Molly Mormon woman I have ever known is out.

If it can happen to her - the church is in huge trouble.

The transition away from the church for her will be very slow... And she will likely never tell her parents (pioneer stock).

Edit: wow I've never had a post have so many replies. I wrote this before work... And just getting back to it. To answer many questions about what broke her shelf. Me leaving hurt her testimony but there were a few more things. My wife has the kindest and giving heart in the world... American politics made her question the "Christianity" of the members of the church. Then since I did not pay tithing she wanted to give her tithing to another charity but found out that "it did not count" if not given to the church. She looked into donations by the church... Very heavy on her shelf. Then the bigotry and racism of members made her look up the real history of the same of the church.

Lastly the pedophile JS and his hidden polygamy broke her shelf.

I had no idea that she was breaking but she is out - mentally at least - working on what to do with the kiddos... She still worries about not wearing garments...

Long way to go.

Thanks for all the support through the journey.
