• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.

Going crazy with emotions...

That's what I asked him. If he really loved my when he got married. He said I was one of the lightest hispanic and there was no white blonde girls where we're from. He said the woman had or is still having an affair with is what he always wanted. Some how I feel used and that I waisted my year with him. I just wish I can forward to healing part and not hurt anymore. It's getting better each day but still hurts a bit.

It sounds like your ex has watched too many american movies about the proverbial "hot blonde". Blondes arent any more attractive than other women...In fact, due to the stereotyping and media portrayal of "blondes", I even tend to find them less attractive. :sorry: no offense to any blondes out there!

It does sound as if your ex is caught up in the whole "what the media says is sexy and what we should want" campaign that targets adolescent males with thier teenage movies about "hot blonde cheerleaders at summer camp".

Does he think he will be more successful in life with a blonde trophy wife hanging off his arm?

You will grow out of this painful time of life and find someone to share a much happier and fulfilling life with...but as you mentioned, now is the time to grow within yourself...make time for yourself and not worry about meeting someone else... join a few community clubs, join a gym, get involved with a church... God will lead you to someone eventually...until then, have fun being yourself and meeting new friends.

I find just meeting new people online is a thrill! If you want, tell us more about yourself and what you do... you may find many things in common with others here and form some great friendships!

I am a divorced person myself and the pain will eventually go away - especially as you draw closer to God.

:hug: Here is a hug - it will not mask the pain, nor take it away, but I pray that God uses it and me to assist you in this process. If there is anything I can do to assist you - just be an ear - whatever - let me know and I will try my best to do it. :hug:

As far as some of the other comments made concerning what he was looking for or seen in you - AGAIN - looking at color is the wrong thing to do. And as some of the others have stated - TV has infected our world. SATAN - is truly getting his jollies off of how we respond to the things that we see on TV.

Fortunately SATAN gets his in the END, but right now he is having a time.

Gotta get running, but I check periodically on here - send me PM and I will help out whenever and where ever I can. A SOUNDING BOARD GOES A LONG WAY - IT DID FOR ME...
