  • 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

    Friend with depression is abusive

    Thank you ladies for your reply. I plan to say that I'm sorry for what I said.... But not yet. I think for my own sanity I need to step away. I've felt numb all week. Thank you guys for your words of wisdom.

    Friend with depression is abusive

    I have a friend that has suffered from depression for years. He suffered from severe depression and panic attacks. He's just turned 31 and always complaining that he's never had a girlfriend due to his depression. Would meet nice girls and then one bad mood...boom it's over. Lately he's gotten...

    We were separated and he got another woman pregnant

    Pray and earnestly seek God's direction. What do you think he wants you to do? If you do feel it's what you need to do then I would strongly recommend counselling with a Christian counselor. Be prepared for a roller coaster of a ride if she is volatile and child support payments until the child...

    Is It Wrong When Husband Calls Another Woman Darling or Baby?

    That is NOT the way it is in the SOUTH. Not everyone does that. He looks like a fool calling other women honey in Montana. Women don't like it. He's just being stubborn. I'd drop it and let him continue because someone will eventually say something. I would be embarrassed if my husband did that.

    Is It Wrong When Husband Calls Another Woman Darling or Baby?

    Those are polite sayings in public. Honey and baby are too personal. I would think if a guy called me honey or baby in public I would think he was flirting.

    Is It Wrong When Husband Calls Another Woman Darling or Baby?

    I think it's strange that he's calling strangers baby or honey...especially baby. That is for husbands to call their wives only.

    Is It Wrong When Husband Calls Another Woman Darling or Baby?

    He needs to stop if it feels disrespectful to you. He may think it's harmless, but if it bothers you then he shouldn't do it. How would he like it if you came across as flirting with other guys? My dad used to tell dirty jokes to people in the grocery store. He thought he was just being...

    Is this normal?

    My dad always acted crazy like this. Eventually my mom took over the driving...especially on long trips and then around town. My dad was always impatient, couldn't handle change, and when things didn't go as planned he freaked out. Your husband has grown up with this and seen a parent or...

    Hurt and Confused

    Sorry this is very long...but your situation stood out to me. From what you've written he seems disappointed with his life in general. His father pushed him to join the Navy because he couldn't decide what to do with his life...so he wasn't really able to find the career on his own. He wanted...

    Do women want sex as much as men?

    My mother always made sex such an uncomfortable topic growing up. She always gave me this look of disapproval or disgust if the topic of sex came up. I decided to have sex in my late teens and I loved it. I kept it a secret from my mother because she never would have forgiven me I don't think...

    TMI on FB

    The word that comes to mind when she said that to you is "Bored"! She's bored plain and simple. If her husband is too busy she needs to pull him into the bedroom and solve things with him. She shouldn't be saying that to other men. It makes her come across as looking for someone to fulfil a void.

    Do any nonbelievers attend church with their spouse?

    My husband was not a believer and was not saved when I married him. We didn't really have any agreement, but when we married I think he just went to church with me to please me. As time went on...he started to resent it because he didn't understand. To answer question #2...I told my husband...

    Glad to see that you are separated and safe from him. I wouldn't reconcile. He needs to stay away.

    Relief at Separation?

    You aren't the only one. Many women feel relief to be out of an abusive relationship where they can breathe easier. I'm glad that you are happy and safe.
