  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A little talk

So I just had a little talk with my husband about some things. I don't know if it helped or not. Usually when I talk to him it just goes in one ear and out the other. He said that I can be rather intimidating sometimes. I don't see how. And he asked me if I'm so controlling because of my ex-husband. I asked him what I'm so controlling over and he said I got mad because he wouldn't give me his paycheck this past Tuesday. Ok, he babysits his nephew 3 to 4 days a week and gets paid like 75 to 100 bucks a week. I work my butt off at a sewing plant 5 days a week, have 88 bucks a week coming out for insurance for both of us, so I bring home like 223 a week. Our rent is 380 a month, our power ranges from 150 to 180 a month, water is 52 bucks, gas usually is 40 bucks a week, internet bill is 61 bucks a month, food is like 150 to 200 dollars a month or so... I guess he thinks I can pay all that by MYSELF. He likes to spend money. That's why I have always been in charge of the finances. If he was, we'd never have any money and nothing would be paid. I asked him what else I was controlling over. He said it was just little stuff that I do, which basically means, 'I can't think of anything else.' I told him we needed counseling. At least he agreed on that. Then he said we need couple counseling and individual counseling because we both have issues of our own. I told him that was a part of marriage, to talk to the other person about the issues that you have. He said sometimes you can only talk to someone who has a degree for them to help you. This man is gonna drive me insane. I have no idea what's going on in his head, and I guess I never will.
