Re: 70 ex'ed

Reddit had a thread yesterday from someone who knew but couldn't tell why he knew....that it was an affair and the woman was the one that confessed. Take that for what it's worth....which is not much. The St. Judas the Traitor 1st Ward can be quite interesting some weeks. This past Sunday was one o...

Re: being there for a victim of sexual abuse

Two of the most helpful things I've heard are I'm so sorry you went through this alone And I'm so sorry you've carried this so long Another helpful thing I've been told is that I'm strong. Do not, under any circumstances, tell her she needs to forgive. She already knows forgiveness is important. If...

But it just doesn't seem to work for people who are converted to The Brethren and the storybook version of history....
That's because it's not about believing, but rather BELONGING.

Re: My 18 yo son resigned all on his own

My DS turned 14 yrs. old two weeks ago. He sent his letter in three days before his birthday. This was his doing as well. He finally got tired of waiting and I mentioned this to my wife. It took her about a week or two and a visit with her therapist to process it in her mind. She said okay and was s...

Re: Really struggling with marriage right now.

I think your wife is still hoping that this is just a "stage" you are going through and that if she keeps you involved at church, you will see the error of your ways.
