I feel your pain, meaning I went through something similar.
You have to try and make it work! Explore every option including both of you talking to your pastor.
When you have tried your best, I think then it's okay to move on.

Yes, but He loves, and he forgives. He hates divorce because in Jesus time, a man only needed to say out loud three times " I divorce you" and the wife would be done with, a social misery, penniless, probably a beggar or a prostitute. So that is the context under which Jesus said it. I am sure he is suffering with you when your spouse abuses you. Marriage is a sacred institution, and your spouse isn't respecting that. What is written in 1st Corinthians 13 has nothing to do with what you are living in your marriage. This I asume by yor previous questions.
You are on time to move on. Get your life back and build a strong healthy relationship with your God, after all, He is love.

Much of the frustration in a relationship involves wanting to control the behavior or actions of the other partner. Ideally each person would strive to become the best person they can be while continuing to be aware and assertive about what is appropriate and acceptable behavior from the other. If you are making every effort to be the person you believe God wants you to be and have received therapy if necessary to achieve this and to work through your marital issues then you can face the issue of divorce with a clear conscience.

The bible was written by humans and humans can be wrong! Staying in a bad relationship is wrong! God wants us to be happy and be able to love others. If you stay can you say you are doing that?

The Bible also says that the ONE reason you can get a divorce is if someone commits adultery.

Staying and making it work is two different things,If you are mi sable why stay,do you think God whats you to be misable and Mis treat if that is what happens,if you are a believer then you know he forgives.

if he cheated then you have every right to leave. if its just him then maybe you need some councilling or a third party to help sort things out.
