I Hate God

I've always relied on my faith in God to see me through the hard times.
After my husband left me, I finally decided that faith in a God that allows this to happen is a waste of time.
I've always heard, "When God shuts one door, He opens another". Well I have been dealing spiritually as well as emotionally, with doors slammed shut on me and no new ones opening up all my life. I'm in my mid 50's and this loss has done me in, especially after being with this man 15 years.
God is supposed to be all powerful and can even outwit Satan, yet he lets some of us suffer in torment while the other person goes on with their life and gets the happiness that should have been for us.
I'm finished looking up to such a vengeful God.

No, I don't see God as a genie. I know He gives us free will, but why He would put this man in my life, knowing how much I was going to be hurt by him leaving?
As far as God helping, I honestly don't see there being any help. My ex has made his decision, and God can't change that.
Yes, life is a series of ups and downs, but if I were to tell everyone the things that have went on in my life, the negatives far outweigh the positives and that is not being melodramatic.
I was ready to just live out my life as normally and happily as most other people with the man I loved and thought loved me too. Now that is gone and I just don't have it in me to start over.
God has bigger issues than mine to deal with anyway, so my lack of faith in Him any longer is not that big a deal.
Thank you all for your thoughts on this. I guess time will tell what happens next...?
