I've tried to keep my language and subject matter as clean as I can. Thanks for all help. :) We've been together for a year and a half. Live together. Hypothetically we're going to be married or something someday though he's plenty happy to wait. He gave up inappropriate contentography soon after we started...

Yea, I wasn't going to give anyone up. Out of the question. However, being a Christian woman looking for more Christian friends I feel that it's important that I acknowledge that there are those who are more fundamentalist, etc. than I. I just know that my life would be improved (and perhaps I...

Crises of faith, back-sliding, being fondly indulged by my extremely open-minded but not Christian friends... I need to get back to having some more regular contact with more folks who are faithful followers of Jesus; I'm having a real hard time listening to God (every time I feel Him around I...

I recently had to have surgery and from there am now on birth control to neutralize my ovaries and render them unproductive. Before this happened I was probably a more frivolous person but also, since this has happened I've found myself able to consider those hypothetical little people whom I...

:wave: I'm moving down to Portland from Seattle. This is going to happen at the end of this month. I have some family down there and a couple of friends but am looking for ... I don't know. Input. I know about Powells but not about chinese food. I know about the Pearl but nothing about...

I've found that people aren't particularly friendly and outgoing around here (Bothell) or elsewhere in Seattle. I've lived here a year and had a much harder time meeting people and connecting than I ever have before. I love the church I go to but haven't met anyone there. The world's your...

PTSD for me has caused HUGE problems... Namely with overreaction. I can't distinguish between a new circumstance and the original trauma. Needless to say it's a treat for the guys I date. The nightmares and sleeplessness don't help. They just make me more wobbly in reality. One thing Christian...

This made me laugh out loud. SO SO succinct! It is so bleedin' hard to be everything to everyone except for to yourself and then have Jesus be everything to you because of the glory of His love when you aren't worth lovin' anyway... Vicious cycle but better than it could be. The sexual acting...

Do I ever get intolerant of other people's ailments when my own are acting up? ABSOLUTELY! I'm human. And, there are those aspects of BPD and other trauma based disorders that make it nearly impossible to not do that. It's one of the most unfortunate aspects of BPD- Someone asks us to care and...

Hello, I've been gone from this site for quite a while. Still, I'm back right now to ask for prayer for a man who recently violated me. I believe that I got what was coming to me to a fair degree... It was dreadful and scary and all of those things but, I've been entirely innocent and...

Sweetheart ... You're smarter than this is what you are. Now, if when you went out that night you deliberately wore nothing but pheremones and a smile... Nah,even then... Be logical... If you were so bad he wouldn't have wanted you... And, clearly, if you were so much in control you wouldn't be...

Though I am Christian I still... Though I am woman I still... I posted this and what has followed. Well, John always wants us to all solve the problem so as he is more readily accepted somewhere. Others- it's not about mentorship. It's also not about my becoming a-ok with our make-up. To...

It's never fun or good to be controlled. (And no, you don't sound sexist for that.) It sounds like she wants to keep you in context. You have to understand. If a woman understands man's lust as a job/path it is very difficult to reconcile different aspects... And, it is very hard to change the...

And it goes and goes. He's amazing! No getting 'round that. I found a new place within a day by being honest. A seemingly perfect work environment is looming- if I work for it. The fella' is coming to visit next month because he can't live without me. (So petty and yet, I'm a girl!) There are so...

I think it's fair to say that all and each ofus is feeling for you... I beleive we all know the same sort of situation. I'm homeless(ish) right now because my living situation was untenable and wrong. Differently wrong, but Wrong. So, what happened? God took care of me and continues to while I...

Ah, Punkin... CC is right! Praise yourself for being able to love so much! It is rare. Yes, it may very well have scared her... Of course. Well, you are/ were brave enough for something that she wasn't. We all take a different view of roller coasters. It will be okay. I had an ex once describe...

Just go. God will provide. He does, always. Though, in my experience, the longer one tries to be on both sides of the fence the harder and longer and less recognizable redemption is. Also, don't consider not being able to resist. Cut back somewhere else (bars, smokes, cable, name brand...

Oh Sweetheart! Why are you apologizing? I can't imagine anyone here judging you for caring about something that came along on the web. This site is very important to many of us and people we meet on it are too. I will spare you most platitudes because, really, they never help when it's a recent...

Miss Ma'am, you're so sweet! Sing and sing and keep me posted! Anyway, I'm not leaving the NW, I know that. I'm wondering if I am in fact a cowgirl: I ride in, save everyone and ride off again. And am lonely and great with children. It's so strange. I've been applying and I'm not totally...

I am about to have to move again. I've been transient for a while now- it seems God's will though. I have helped many and been where I should to learn and teach and raise and been given amazing blessings. So, I am not ashamed of that job hunting and etc. has not been working out the way it...
