  • 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

Just wanted to say first not sure if I should post this here. I will be 30 next year but my wife will be 30 in a few months. We have been married for 6 years... Coming up on 7. She moved from Florida to Ohio to watch her dads house during his last tour of duty 8 years ago. We meet online and feel in love fast. We got married the next year and had our sweet baby girl soon afterwards. Things have been great for the most part. We did have a year were we had separated for a few months but were able to work through our difficulties. Marriage is definitely not easy but worth the work. Here is our current situation. She is home sick very much. She wants to leave and go back to Florida to be with near her mom. We had talked about it before in the past but I have always changed subjects or never bothered to bring it back up. I am very close to my family here in Ohio. This has put some strain on our marriage. I told her as of resent that we would consider it when our apartments lease is up in December. I would not mind going at all. In fact we have better job opportunities in Florida (her mom and step dad own several gas stations, he has been bugging me to come down and help him run them). But the thought of leaving my parents kills me too. Plus they are so attached to my daughter I am afraid that it would destroy them as well. I think my wife is ready to move regardless if I come or not ... and I do not want to lose her either so I am in a very tuff choice making moment. Also I have never really lived far from my family so it would be way from the norm and I do not handle change well. I have struggled with anxiety a lot during my teens and 20's. Thanks for any opinions and advice.
