Bitter expectations...

I hate to be this way, but it really irritates me that the only time I hear from my old church is when they fucking want something. In the six months since the wife and I broke up and I stopped going to services there I have not heard once single peep from anyone associated with that church, except for when they want something. I thought maybe someone, like the pastor, would call to check in and see if I was all right, was there anything he could do, but I got nothing. Now the wife and I were pretty active members of that church and we invested a lot of time in it. I'm not saying I feel like they owe me anything, but I did think that all of that Christian community crap they talked about might mean something. Evidently it does not, except when the church is in need. I'm was quite willing to give to the church, especially one that does so many good things, but seemingly being allowed to drop like that is a little upsetting, especially after I did the giving.
