• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

When you have done wrong you should feel bad (think what would happen if you didn't) The question is have you learned your lesson? If so Good for you if not please

Dear friends,

I have recently slept with a friend's fiancee. I don't know what to do. I have betrayed my ideals and beliefs, I have betrayed God. I feel terrible.

I need some advice.


You must repent first :) You can be forgiven. I cannot imagine your guilt or what you must be feeling but I know God is merciful. I would confess what I had done as well. There is healing that comes with confessing your sin. I wish you all the best. God bless you:wave:

Only to a priest-DO NO FURTHER HARM; your sins/repentance are for you & God. If you and the girl are truly sorry you will carry this one to your grave son--see the 12-step version of Amends: "except when to do so would injure them or others. Everybody involved here
needs to re-evaluate their levels of "committment". Repentance is the behavior/action true enough, then ask & you w/b forgiven.

That's all Jesus required-I would not tack anything else on to it-JMHO
