I recently got engaged to someone who doesn’t believe in God. It concerns me and hurts me a lot that he does things like listening to bad music and play games with naked women. What do I do?

Thank you for your advice, I think I will do just that. I have to take care of my daughter and I know the Lord will lead me to the right path. Right now I will just focus on everything he has already blessed me with.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you. And your story makes me feel very hopeful that I will be able to find a father for her who will truly love her. That’s been a big worry for me as well, I’m afraid that she will miss the fatherly presence and a family union in her life.

He can’t pay child support because he’s in a different country, I can’t make him. Also, he is abusive and sinful, I’m not sure if I want my daughter exposed to that, but I don’t know if he’ll change in the future. Thank you so much

That’s a very good point. The way I was looking at it is that maybe I shouldn’t tell her because I don’t want her to be hurt later because her dad never showed up. But thinking from it this way also makes sense. I need to think about what she’d like herself.

No, he’s not paying child support. He stayed in his country and didn’t come back to the US. And his parents are unfortunately dead.

Hi, everyone! My story is that I got married in 2020. In December my husband and I went to his home country where he started being physically abusive and his sister hated me. I got pregnant and he said that it’s not his child and that I cheated on him. I never cheated on him and the child is...

Yes, she definitely is :)

I agree. I have been trying to find the strength to forgive, but it’s been very hard to do.

Thank you. Yes, I have my mom here. She’s been helping me as much as she can.

I’m not entirely sure if it has anything to do with his culture. He was raised Christian and he made me believe that he was one, but, looking back, his actions didn’t show that. I’m Nigeria, however, I did notice while I was there, that treating your wife in that way can be acceptable, like...

He asked for forgiveness, but not for the things that mattered. He still doesn’t believe that he needs to ask forgiveness for some of the things, or at least it seems that way. He doesn’t seem to be repentant of hitting me and committing adultery and lying. And yeah, he did physically harm me.

Because he’s not a good person. He didn’t treat me right and put my life in danger. I can’t forgive him for what he did to me and I would never forgive myself if he ended up hurting my child. I don’t want to live my life with this person and I want my child to be safe and happy, just as I want...

No, I’m back in the US. I think I should mention that I’m not Nigerian myself, I’m actually Russian. I have gone back to that church, but the people there are pushing me to forgive him and saying that I should have stayed with him through it all, so I have stopped going there because of that.
