Is cheating really that common? Or is it all in the persons' head?

My observation is that most people are quite content to trundle along and stay comfortable with their "ol' reliable" than bother to leave their comfort zones to engage in an affair. I honestly don't see it much.

And if the couple is truly "loved up" then chances of it ever happening are about nil. You couldn't pay them to do it.

Just like STDs, it's a subject that's been blown WAY out of proportion.

I have to wonder if your like this at work in person:scratch::)

Not too good on that particular front, unfortunately. The CF environment makes it easier to act kindly, but the real challenge is in an environment like the workplace, as you have no doubt seen from my past posts concerning what is happening there. :( But, well, here's another chance tonight to do better; I go in right now, for the next 9 of 13 days. Please pray for me.

I will be praying for open doors. Either in witness or in how the holy spirit will lead you to pray for somebody. Who knows if a conversation will happen that allows an open door for you to pray for somebody... And without them knowing that you are praying. I look back on some of the worst work situations that lasted for more than 2 years and medically depleted me, but there was so many lessons learned during that time, and ways to pray for others. It's not easy and I pray the Lord's peace over you during the long hours.

Hope everyone has been doing well!! :hug: A lot has been going on here lately and I am currently in the process of moving for a bit to help my sister with her little one. Once again I am in the process of letting go of more of my possessions since I have been moving so much lately that I am at the point where I am quite tired of carrying around so much and being tied down by my earthly possessions. It has been a very stressful week, so hopefully I will have time for a little extra TLC and self-care once I arrive. I will likely be without an internet connection while living there, since neither my sister nor my brother have internet at their places. Perhaps it will be good for me to have a break from the internet anyways. I'll likely still be able to stop by every now and then, although not as much as before. :) Hope everyone stays well here!!

Right, but I hear people say 'he/she was cheating on me' a lot & I'm wondering if every time I hear that it's true, or is the person just being paranoid?

We will miss having you around so much, Somber, but may the Lord bless and keep you in your intended path. :angel:

Feeling sick of being stuck in the same sin over and over and over again. I hope I'm not disappointing God.

A bit of a heavy heart for a co-worker. Someone I don't work with closely, he can be shy but he also can be emotional and hot headed stubborn at times, in a different department came by this morning before a meeting. I had made deviled eggs and knew he would like it since he's very traditional and he liked my relish tray back in January. I don't usually have to talk to him about anything but I had a question my boss asked me to ask him. Since he wasn't around, I asked someone that he frequents his office. To let him know I want to talk to him the next time he visits.

The guy said it may be quite a while before he's back. He hesitated and then he told me that his daughter passed away suddenly while he was at a meeting. Our department head drove him back to our headquarters and it was a very long drive and very difficult for her. I had no idea and welled up with tears even though I don't know him very well. I know I've been able to talk to him on occasion, but the other month when he talked to one of our admins, she was shocked because she said he doesn't talk to anybody. I had no idea and didn't perceive him that way. God has gifted me to be able to talk to certain people that are quiet.. anyways I pray that I will have the right words the next time that I see him.

When I shared it with my mom, I was able to find a bit of information I hadn't known. She said a similar situation happened when my aunt passed away in the '70s. She was at work and her boss drove her all the way home after the news came. I'd never heard of that, but that seems like a good practice, when someone is at work and someone passes away, it's good to have someone else drive them home from work. No one is in the right frame of mind after they get news like that.
God bless him and uphold him.

I'd be curious to know what that sin would be.
