  • 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

Ok. I know lots of great people in couples who are perfectly happy with their relationships and who are genuinely happy to see other love stories or happy couples.

Then there are those occasional couples that are really, for lack of a better term, competitive. They seem irked by the happiness of another couple or try to prove themselves better in some way.

Am I the only one who has noticed these rare couples that just get so cranky about other people in love?

I don't get it.

Ehh, I may have seen something like that in movies, but I can't think of anyone like that in real life off the top of my head.

They're few and far between but I can honestly say I've met a few couples like that. It makes me sad to see them so unhappy with the happiness of others.

I'm guessing it doesn't make sense to you either then.
