  • 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

what would you do?

:help: I get a call every morning from my husband. Nothing good. I'm having a hard time handling it. He has no words of comfort, no explanation. He says he just wants to know how I am...I don't get it. Is he waiting for me to say "fine"...I can't because I'm not fine. I am doing my best not to be nasty but its really getting to me. Every time the call comes through 'her' name appears on my caller ID and I get actual pain in my gut. I'm at a point where I'm about to cut off all communication with him. I've told him I pray for the restoration of our marriage....he says nothing. He claims he still has love for me....is he crazy?:confused: how can you love someone when you cause them this kind of pain. At times he sounds sad yet if I suggest any solution it falls on deaf ears....:sigh: any advice out there?

I don't know your full story, pboop, but I would probably be using my answering machine.

Especially if he was still living with the other woman and was unrepentant.

I'm sorry you are going through this. If he remains unrepentant, maybe he needs to be talking to your lawyer rather than you.

I am so sorry for your pain. I know what you are going through, the lord carried me through and he will do the same for you. Something that really helped me was reading books, my favorite was Love must be tough by: James Dobson. It helped me understand what not to do to make things harder than they already were. hang in there. Praying for you.

Don't answer when he calls you. Call him at work, or on his cell phone and tell him you will not take calls from her number. Tell him you would like to reconcile and suggest marital therapy. Leave it at that. Don't take his calls when he calls. Call him on your terms on your time, at his work, or his cell. Take control of the phone call situations.

This is such a great response. This speaks to the heart of the matter, him being involved with her.

I hope you do this immediately and follow through without exception.

He made his choice. Now it's time to hold him accountable, and stop allowing him to rub your face in it everytime he calls.

Thank you to all that replied. This morning I did not even answer his call. When I do...you're right it should be on my terms...I've taken enough. Last night I prayed for strength and wisdom. Deep down I think I was afraid not to hear from him. He is rubbing my face in it...I just didn't want to admit to myself that he could be so cruel. I actually have love for all of you....thanks so much! Please pray for me.
