  • 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

Should this bother me?

A while back, my husband and I got in an argument about his ex-girlfriend and how I felt like he went above and beyond for her - more than for me.. Well, while we were working through that issue, he mentioned that his ex had emailed congratulating him on getting married. He explained that he didn't even write back - to prove a point that she doesn't mean anything to him now etc. Fast forward a little over a year and we have a baby. I found out the ex emailed him congratulating him about the baby and he emailed back to thank her for the email. The context of the email was simply that and nothing more.. but it still bothers me. Am I overreacting?

Hi Taryn, I don't think you need to worry about it. Some would say the contact is inappropriate, but I don't personally think so. Either way, I wouldn't worry about an e-mail. One thing is, if a person really wants to be unfaithful, worrying about what they are saying or where they are going will not stop it. Just serve Christ together with your husband. Do your best to be a godly wife.

Yes.- If that's truly the extent of it and he showed you the email, it's way over reacting, perhaps a glimpse into underlying jealousy issues.
