• 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

So sorry, but....

The longer I live, the more I appreciate the goodness that is expressed in God's principles and its applicability to us.

Please don't get me wrong, I am not standing pointing my fingers at anyone because I am divorced and would point my fingers fiirst at myself. It's this life that we live in and the sin that permeates everything on earth. Back to my point - the longer I live, the more I recognize God's goodness. God hates divorce - broken homes - because it undermines His good intentions for us. Here you are with children desiring a mate and the opportunity to experience life the way God intended you to (with someone who loves you and whom you love, etc..) and up come those issues that you are currently facing. Bummer - sin has really messed up this world but, thank God, it's only for an appointed time. Know this - God knows how to restore and use everything for our good.

Well....update....we broke up today.
Over my kids, of course, but hey....I would rather know it now. He cannot overcome that feeling of not wanting them, so he admitted it.
I am so glad he was honest and let me know now.

I am really okay; not angry or sad.
My kids do mean more than that to me. I can't imagine anyone who does not love kids.

I'm sorry Barb:hug:

Even though you know it is for the best I'm sure it still hurts and is disappointing...:hug:

Your children are a wonderful gift and blessing and there is a man out there for you who will accept ALL of you and feel blessed to become a part of your family.

I'm praying for you :prayer:

I hope you'll be OK, Barb. The good part about this is that God has someone or something better in store for you.

I hate to hear that BUT God's timing is perfect (even when we don't think so). I am glad that God opened that line of communication now so you will know before your heart was even more involved.

You won't hear that from me, Hon. I am humbled by my own comedy of uncontrollable romantic dilemmas to face right now.
Such things are out of our hands and most certainly everyone else's.
=Must be a shaggy haired male with a collar. And I'm not talking about a dog. :idea:
