Hey all... so freaked out right now! Just want your opinions on that... be forewarned that I am entirely aware that I often totally overanalyze things. Anyway, my boyfriend and I got into a fight yesterday... actually, the truth is I kind of "started" it because he had "forgotten" to tell me...

Okay... so considering the original post which said that the person changed their mind, I'm assuming that they had both decided that they would have children and expressed this before marriage. Even in that situation, I don't think that you can "force" someone to have a child in good faith...

That's cool. Congratulations. The only question I have is, doesn't that take all the surprise away? My boyfriend was talking about something last night and, although we have not been like you and your boyfriend at all in that we have only talked about marriage abstractly, and never said for...

Not a CHANCE! I would never take that away from my FH... and I would hope he would be the kind of man who wouldn't let me either.

Congratulations!!! I agree with the above poster though... I think that something like that would just drive me crazy. But I don't allow myself to sit around and think up scenarios, etc., for any "big" moment in my life, because if I do that, I end up disappointed. Whatever he ultimately...

What a wonderful attitude, ChildofGod. I understand that sin is all the same, but even so, I don't know that I would have the grace to overcome my "logic", in that a man with homosexual thoughts might be more "likely" to have problems when dating me than a man who had engaged in premarital...

Nope... or Friday either. But I never take off... so I'm enjoying every minute.

I agree with Curious Artist... I would want to make sure that the person liked me because I was a woman, and not just because I was a good person/accepting person/the person he was "supposed" to be with, etc. I haven't had the opportunity in my life to be friends with a homosexual person or...

That's great advice from your mentor, Shaslove. I guess I just need to filter things that others say/do/think a little more closely, as I am sure that we all do. I am an intelligent person and know that every person has a unique experience... I think I am just surrounded by people with a...

What is your name & SO's name (screen names are perfectly acceptable)? I am Hope... my boyfriend doesn't get on the forum. He's computer challenged. Are you dating or courting (please no debating this) Dating How long have you been together? Two years Is marriage in the near future (2 years or...

I think that everyone is talking about a true "promise" ring, which is a ring that is given specifically with the "promise" to get engaged... that is the purpose of the ring. My mother says that it was common when she was younger for boys to give these in high school when they were too young to...
