  • 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

Not at all , you are his wife, he cares for you, if you are on a beach yes you can wear, if that time, he says no then he is controlling. Clothes must be worn according to the environment and situation , this is always a smart trick.

Her own husband doesn't have a right to tell her what or what not to wear, but you, some stranger on the Internet who isn't really a part of their relationship does?

(snickers) No one has the right to. Everyone can offer up an opinion or viewpoint.

One of my cousins was angry her boyfriend would not allow her to wear a bikini in the yard. My relatives told her to leave her boyfriend, she should wear what she wants. My husband in the other hand said they were wrong, wearing a bikini in public asks for trouble and I am not allowed to do that.

So is my husband controlling? I said today I wanted to walk somewhere tomorrow to save bus fare and he said "no! Will be too hot!" And I used to go birdwatching in the park alone all the time and my husband has so thoroughly drilled it in my head that is dangerous now I can't even bring myself to!

Is this a problem?

Nope...he's simply expressing his opinion. I asked my wife to also not wear revealing clothing in the front yard, but back yard and public pools are okay. It's a question though, not a command. She complied, because she sees my point. It's simply just that.
