    Matchmaking service for christian widows

    Also my pastor is a widower. I dont know, am not trying to matchmake all the widows in my church but just wondered if this happens in other churches. And does this work? I mean some widows are really unhappy...on their own.

    Is there such a thing in churches. Before my thread on widows got closed I had this idea. If the widow I knew moved into a retirement village and met another widower would that be better for her? Does this actually happen? i know of people that do this as I met them. On a cruise once but...

    Feeling manipulated or pressured

    If I do say something like 'youre so vain, you probably think this song is about you' she might get it or she will proably just laugh. Its not funny when you on the receiving end of narcissitic behaviour.

    Feeling manipulated or pressured

    I dont think doing the opposite is going to work unless..God shows me a better way. i mean she is a christian. Its not like I can refuse to have anything to do with her, or can I . And im not one for vengeance, which is often when people take measures against someone else.

    Feeling manipulated or pressured

    She can wear you down by persistance and doing unasked for favours. Its weird. That then gives her leverage. She is also super sweet when she wants something, like a cat rubbing your leg when she wants food. I think her modus operandi is to have people feel sorry for her and then she can ask...

    Feeling manipulated or pressured

    I sent her a txt, and I tried to ring but nobody home. I hope she got the txt. The thing is she's got my writing and don't know if she'll post it or withhold it from me, I have asked her.

    Feeling manipulated or pressured

    How do you deal with this? Especially if its another christian wanting you to do something that you don't want to do. This is what happened.

    Relationship advice

    Seek His kingdom first and all things will be added unto you. Its heartbreaking but you may have to let him go. The bible says if the unbeliever wants to depart, let them depart. My sister was living with a guy for more than 3 years and he made absolutely no move to even propose to her, and...

    Whats wrong with me?

    Ask Him to make your paths straight (not go round in circles) and also tell the devil where to go and stop annoying you. jesus would often say get thee behind Satan! YOu have authority in Jesus name to do this. So speak out.
