If the Bible doesn't allow divorce for abuse then it needs a rewrite. IMHO abuse of your spouse is one of the worst things a person can do, right up there with philandery.

As for your other questions since I never said any of that was good, or Biblical you're trying to make me defend a position I didn't take. Ask somebody who actually said those things.

Christians are bound by the Word and their vows.

You must grow to understand that for which you are accountable.

Staying married but being apart (separation) would likely be acceptable.

"If the Bible doesn't allow divorce for abuse then it needs a rewrite."

I agree so wholeheartedly.
