This is a bit delicate, so tell me to take a hike if need be, but what do you think about Erin's involvement with the occult?
Do you think her talking to spirit guides may have widened the gap between your two paths to such an extent that your marriage was no longer real?
You strike me as a practical, down to earth guy who wouldn't have much time for such things. Or, did you share her occult interests? |
Marriage is a legal institution (external). The internal commitment is a conscious choice to help each other grow, and that commitment still stands. But I wouldn't call that a marriage because marriage is the wrong word to describe it. Spiritual alliance might be a better term.
IMO the word "occult" is an outsider's term often used by people who are trying to label something they haven't experienced. But if you're asking if our separation had to do with spiritual differences, then that's an easy no, not even close. We're extremely compatible in that area.
