  • 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

Dude! We have something in common. I broke up with my ex when I was 21 also! It bites for a while, but you WILL get over it.

Don't worry, it gets much better down the road. I'm currently engaged to one hot saucy lady!

My breakup was very recent (read the thread "The Pain of Infidelity" on this forum).

After realizing there was no turning back just this past Monday, I took a few days off from work and went to visit some friends back home. That 4-day visit was incredibly healthy for me.

I asked them not to talk about "her" at all, and they respected my wishes. We just hung out and had a lot of fun. I would think of her at night, but I immediately submerged myself in prayer and went to sleep, although she was still in my dreams every night.

Now I'm back home and having to drive by her house every day (I have to drive by her house to get to my house). I haven't seen her, and I hope I don't for a while, but what seems to be working for me is talking to God a lot, and ignoring the people who are bound to make comments that are going to hurt.

I changed my cell phone number, so only the people that are going to be supportive have it now. It may seem like a drastic change, but when the breakup occurs over infidelity just a few weeks before your wedding, you have to take drastic measures to avoid even more pain.

One thing I caught myself doing was checking out girls (at the supermarket, etc). That can also lead to sin, so just keep God in your heart and He will get you through anything. Try not to give in to temptation, because that will only lead to more hurt in the long run.

I still feel the pain, but I know there's light at the end of the tunnel. God Bless!
