Unequally yoked does not justify divorce...you can assume it does but scripture does not..

Ahem....Quest does not believe it is ok to divorce an unbelieving spouse who doesn't want to be married...
I did address it within it's context and posted Paul's words and highlighted the fact that he said if the unbelieving departs LET THEM..so they would be the ones filing for divorce, not the believer.
Obeying the NT instructions is not legalism..if it is then we might as well just say we are just all under grace and love and the instructions for living are just suggestions.
So what exactly is the difference between divorcing an unbelieving spouse whom doesn't want to be married and letting them go as Paul enjoins ? .. Semantics or legalese maybe ?
Ok so they don't want to be married but they don't file for divorce .
So legally you stay married meanwhile they run up credit card debt you are now legally responsible for.
They refuse to work or support the household in anyway ..
They refuse to render due benovalence as Paul instructed them to do..
But hey I guess they didn't commit adultery and since they haven't filed the papers You keep on baring it in order to "glorify the Lord" Huh ?
Sorry NT instructions are'nt an open invitation to self abuse but I await your response
