  • 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

Im a young adult who still lives at home and is beyond super close to my family especially my mom.. but I've been with my bf for a year and we're talking marriage down the road only my mom hates hates HATES him... said she's sad I'm with him that she's tried to like him but he keeps disrespecting her and she wants me to marry someone else but if he's who I choose to date I just need to accept it is what it is... I don't want to leave him but her approval means so so much. Any advice?

No, I don't find him disrespectful. He respects all my wishes and beliefs
He did, however, start off a bit rough not going to lie. He's not used to the family life never having a strong one himself, but hes learning. Back in sept he made a dumb comment about her skin tone vein so "white" ( he's Hispanic) so she feels he might be a racist. Ir was so dumb of him I know, but she got passed it and was starting to have positive thoughts about him. Then on valentines day night he made a couple crack about an actress being an old woman bcuz she's in her 40s, my moms 41‚ he realized he'd stepped in it and did the "oh crud" smile so she feels he purposely said it to be mean and hurtful to her. So she said she's done and she will never approve.

Eh he'll be 21 in may... ans other than those two incidents he's been very good. He was so excited to give her his Christmas gift that he begged her to open it on Christmas eve. Also I've been on bed rest ans so sick since sept and he's been by side patiently, im so sick even one side of my vocal cords is paralyzed so my speech is not easy to understand. He also knows my moms been so busy takimfcare of me that he'll randomly offs to buy us pizza or what ever and brings it for us for dinner... and im not one to rushy those comments having been burned in past, we've been together a year and he's stuck by me faithfully thru so much in this yearthat most young guys would have ran from..
