• 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.

For me it is more a question of whether she has passed the crucial tests, the test of time, trust, loyalty and devotion...

This is the kind of statement that would drive my best friend crazy. :D

She doesn't believe that you should have to "prove" yourself to anyone; that "earning" love is a bunch of bull. Everyone should just blindly trust, if they have no reason not to.

That sounds very foolish.. Scripture says in Proverbs to "guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life".

I learned that through experience, a woman almost destroyed me.

I agree completely...

But I do get frustrated when I feel like I have to "pay" for another girl's mistakes. :(

Yeah I know it sucks but blame your female sisters, it happens to us guys to when we meet a dame we want to get closer to and she won't let us in because she's afraid we'll hurt her.

But love is so much more fun than logic!!! :D

Yeah I agree but not when it comes crashing down, I mean she could tell me all day that she's a "Good Woman" but I really need to see through her actions and being with her for some time.

Yeah... and I really don't blame him... that's why I am not going anywhere... to prove to him that we aren't all the same. And while it sucks that I have to do that... I believe he'll come around.

The "proof" is definitely in a person's words matching their actions.

My ex used to apologize for something then turn around and do the same thing again and again - but couldn't seem to understand why it frustrated me. I would tell him that "I'm sorry" is just words - show me you're sorry by changing how you handle the situation.

Exactly... the old cliche is so true... Actions speak so much louder than words. So it's hard to base decisions of the heart solely off words.
