• 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

moving on?

I read somewhere that it takes twice the length of time that you were together to get over your ex. It my experience (and asking others) this seems to be true. A relationship of 3 years took 6 years to get over.

With that being said, I read it on some kind of gossip column on the internet.

It doesn't seem clear though that it takes a long time.

I hope for the best for you.

God bless

The short answer is that you NEVER "move on". This isn't a former girlfriend that you broke up with. This was your life partner. Instead, we grieve then move ahead...taking everything with us...the memories, the love, the heartache, and everything that they changed in becoming who we are...

Even those that get married again and have a wonderful "Chapter 2" can be happy again but they do not leave their first love/marriage behind.
