• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

So i texted him this:

"I'm sorry for getting upset babe... I just really wanted to make up today and it feels like the chance was pretty much cut down before even being presented... I just don't want to fight anymore... I'm so sick of fighting..."

And got this...:

"Aaaaaand it's about you. Would you like to know what I wanted? I I wanted to hear you respond to my real legitimate emotions or something other than hatred and cruelty and pettiness. I wanted to trust in the fact that you'd be kind to me and understanding.

But of course no. It wasn't worth stopping thinking and holding back for my account

You make me feel like a king. King [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. thanks so much for your sorta-apology tho"

I just responded "I'm sorry..." I don't know what else to say...

If he sometimes vents, don't take it to heart.

He probably still would appreciate what you were planning to do in post #4.

Patience, patience, patience.

He ended up coming home really late and I was asleep... We got up today and I guess things are "okay"... neither of us brought it up... I'm just trying not to feel so depressed again... I worked so hard to snap out of it before and now it feels like it's all undone.... I feel like such a screw up... it's just sex.. and we are married... been together 10 years... I don't know what's wrong with me... why can't I do it...

Well, yesterday in post #4 you already had more confidence. Don't worry; patience, patience, patience; and prayer.

Wow, just a few hours on here and I already am feeling so much better. :)
Fellowship - even over the internet apparently - is always helpful.

I just feel so positive when I am talking about God with people, how can't you? :)

If we read John's First Epistle, chapter 1, fellowship with one another and fellowship with God the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ are all linked in the light.

For some ppl who are isolated, it's a lifeline. For others who can get out to local companies of Christians, but won't do so, it can also get in the way, so to speak.

I went home on my lunch break and my husband was there. He apologized for being a jerk and said the real reason he was mad was because he was feeling under appreciated at his job because he was passed over for a crew leader position despite being employee of the month 3 times in a row and being there for a really long time... He said it was wrong to take it out on me. So I think we are okay for now.

Thank you guys for your prayers and advice!
