I am so sadden and sorry if I offended you though I didnt know your story. I was defensive toward my own story. you had made comments towards me that were so incorrect. if you wish to disect my post go back to the first post
Wow And We Call Ourselves Christians.
Sometimes we as Christians need to learn not to apologize for the truth, that's not love Valley. You showed her nothing but love and for her to respond like that to you is unscrupulous. Please edit the apology out please you did nothing wrong. People need to get used to hearing the truth out of love.
He was talking to me.what TRUTH did you get out of my first post to make such a comment. I am not sayign someone was wrong. I defended myself from perception and assumption. My post seems to have turned ugly not supportive at all
i expected that i would get an godly answer from christians not regarding the law of the flesh
??Perceived Safety?
might be acting ??
I think you're making an assumption that he has never done this before.
I'm a little confused. You are studying to be a lawyer. Yet you don't think police should be called when a woman has been physically violated and assaulted by her husband? Do you think calling police is more damaging than the original assault, or not calling the police which will set a precedent that it's okay for him to hit her and she won't call? Where does a woman draw the line and finally make that call?
Would you say the same thing if it were a parent hitting a child? Or a child hitting a parent? Or a friend hitting a friend, or a stranger hitting a stranger? Hitting and mishandling are assaults. Period. Against the law. In fact, where I live, if you even touch someone against their will, it is considered an assault and is grounds for arrest.
oK I have been self centered because I am not in the frame of mind to comment on peoples own personal problems that have been adddressed.
No you are self centered because I used my personal experience as an example of why not to assume someone is physically abusing their wife. Which your husband has not done so my example actually was correct. You are self centered because you missed my point and only saw someone was taking away from your attention with a personal example which wasn't the case. Illogical.
I have been told that I have the problem and I need help obviously something has been perceived from my first post.
You did not come here looking for help how can one help you when they do not know your situation. Illogical
I have been told that there are two sides to each story which is correct though am I wrong in asserting myself to my husband in telling him that I felt hurt by his actions.
We don't even know what you did to assert yourself, so how can one say you are wrong when they don't even know what you did? They don't even know what you did? That is illogical.
I have been advised to call the police WHY WHY what was said did i say that I was not safe ??
I think that was what I commented on with my personal story however you missed the entire point and did not try to comprehend what I was even saying. The point of my personal story was to tell people it's hurtful when people suggest physical violence when it is not the case. It is illogical to have an issue with me posting my personal story then agreeing with my point I was illustrating. Illogical and hypocritical.
I defended myself due to the assumptions that have been written and was told that I am wayyyyy out of line
I have made no assumptions I simple commented on the lack of knowledge on a situation which leads one to make assumptions one way or the other. Illogical
I have been told to grow up is this because I am emotional at the moment
You were told to grow up due to your poor behavior, attitude and disrespect of other. Once again you have created this atmosphere in your thread however you portray it like you are a victim you certainly are not.
It was assumed that I sit at home and wait to attack my husband with my negativity
I think by your interaction if one made that assumption based on your behavior in this thread it would certainly be a logical one. If your husband felt that you create situation to become the victim when you are not, I would not be surprised. Most of your issues with other posters is illogical.
I have been advised that I may have a problem with men
Who stated you had a problem with men please quote that to me.
I have heard some of you argue your opinions
I don't think there was any argument in here, people simple gave their opinion which is what happens in the marriage forum maybe this is better suited in the prayer forum. It is illogical for you to post in a forum with many different races, genders, cultures and political views and expect everyone to agree.
most of you have talked from the flesh not godly in a christian forum
Not particularly you have spoken mostly from the flesh. You want people to support you even if they don't know if you are right or wrong, that's your flesh. Love rejoices in the truth how can one show you that love when all you want is people to feel sorry for you. That is not love pity is not love. Supporting someone through their sin is very easy and is the starting point of a codependent relationship. No one can show you love or give you love because you don't want godly love you want fleshly dependence on pity which I can not do.
I just want to let you all know that I am OK though because I have let some of your comments go
He was talking to me.
1) This a forum that is the reason for a forum to share opinions and different perspectives to widen ones horizons and learn how other's think. Have you ever watched a forum on tv?
2) I have never made an assumption nor did valley what she said was if and that you should. No matter if she was wrong or right, she took her time out of her day to tell you how to protect yourself because she didn't want you to go through what she did. I might disagree with her and think she needed more information before stating such but her action was out of love and therefore the most Christian thing to do. For you to say anything but 'no he's not hitting me but thank you so much for your concern" and then to bring up Christianity is hypocrisy.
3) You may not think about who is wrong and who is right, however there are situations where one person is wrong. For example someone leaves your car light on and you believe it was your husband you tell him about leaving the car light on but he didn't it was a friend or neighbor or a robber or even an electrical problem....would you be the wrong party or is your husband partly to blame?
4) In a relationship most times people sit around blaming the other person. Similar to how people read the bible and always point outward instead inward. The key isn't to look to see where another person is equally as wrong as you so there is someone to share the blame with but to have a mirror and examine your on personal actions. Don't worry about how wrong he is, or what he has done to equal your wrong.
5) You started a thread in my opinion expecting or wanting a pity party. That is not love, love rejoices in the truth and I as christian can't support you in your wrong. So how then can I support you or not support you with this situation if I don't know if you are wrong or right? I can't support you in your sin.
6) I don't even understand what you mean you need support and he needs support. How can we support you and we don't know your situation?
Last post I just find the insults and the things you said about valley particularly rude because she wasn't just posting because she is bored like others she took the time to actually care about your safety the least you could do with that is be appreciative. Instead of spitting in her face....shame.
I want you to know that you need to look towards God and move away from your fleshly desires to be validated even if you could be wrong. Learn to allow people to walk in love and stop mistaking love for hatred. The bible teaches us that "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." If you didn't see the love in Valley's comments and other posters comments then you need to spend time with Him and learn His ways. I can not help you because you don't want advice you want people to feel sorry for you. I don't feel sorry for myself, I don't feel sorry for my wife, I don't feel sorry for my daughter I am certainly not going to feel sorry for you especially when you could have been the main antagonist in the situation.
My original post was not about who was wrong or right I was needing some comfort in the way i was feeling that is all. not about expecting pitty but about receiving some love from christian people. when i mentioned we both need support obviously it could not come from this site as he is not on here. yes love rejoices in the truth so correct do you think i do not speak the truth of how i am feeling. i know you cannot support me if you dont know if i am wrong or right correct though should you judge this without knowing me. did i say something that made you think i am not posting what i feel. i havent run my husband down to a point of blame I have had to assert myself in something he had said to me which was had hurt my feelings and i told him is this a sin.
how is thanking someone for their concern of my husband hitting me christian hypocrisy ?
I had no personal action for him to become aggressive in perceiving that i had done something wrong. as in your statement and I dont sit around etc etc.
I feel you have a past of emotional torment to suggest and disect what was not said in my original post. my post writes that I am in a confused state of mind and not know how to deal with forgiving him as he is not a christian and ignores me until i continue to forgive him continually as I should though him not being a christian does not understand why I do this. so how will he ever learn that it is aggression in any form is unacceptable behaviour.
i have now received a reply that I could have been the antagonist
any more digs people
It's illogical to have a person believe that you couldn't be the antagonist in the situation and it's illogical for a person to believe you were the antagonist.
