Chubby: to answer your question, my first husband put me away due to adultery. He was the adulterer and conceived a child with another woman. I was faithful to him. My second husband has developed relationships with other women however I do not know if they became sexual. But, abuse only gets worse. I am afraid that if he locks me in a room again or puts his hands on me again, I will find myself facing criminal charges. I read all the comments and I have trouble believing God would want me to live in a situation that is abusive. Or, expose my kids to any of the abuse. IamPamela: My husband is a Christian.

Chubby: please tell me how Romans 7:11 applies to the situation.
