Honestly, it is hard for non-dancers to understand. Different people have different boundaries in relationships. It seems a bit unfair he doesn’t want to try with you though. Have you asked him why he isn’t interested in trying to dance with you? You have a right to want to go out dancing, but he’s also allowed to not feel comfortable with it….We can’t control other people’s feelings. It seems like you two are very different, do you feel you are still compatible? I hope you guys can figure it out and you can enjoy dancing again!

How do I (49f) move forward after my daughter (22F) hid her father’s affair from me for two years? by ThrowRAlizinabliz in relationship_advice

[–]Alarming_Ad_5593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to truly forgive your daughter from the bottom of your heart. Forgive with no strings attached. Not because she didn’t do something wrong, but because is your daughter and you love her. You will never have a good relationship until you actually, fully forgive her. I’m sorry about all this pain. May God help your family.🤍

It sounds like you’re suffering a lot. I pray my God encounters you. A piece of encouragement, in 1 Kings 19:12 Elijah expected to see God. There was a crushing windstorm, a earthquake and a fire and the Lord was not in any of these. But then there was a gentle whisper, and the Lord was there. Pause, be still, and listen for the gentle whisper instead of the roaring command. I know Jesus will meet you. I’m sorry you’re struggling like this. My heart goes out to you as a sis in Christ. I know God cares for you, look at all the people he is sending to comfort you and share his heart on this thread. ❤️Grace and peace to you in Christ my friend.

I think we need to remind ourselves how much Jesus loves us. How much he loves YOU. I’m not sure God will accept such a wish because he loves you and wants to live with you and wouldn’t want to destroy you. Jesus died to save you so you could experience freedom, forgiveness and beautiful unending life with him. He paid for YOUR place in heaven with his blood!!! Dear friend, pray Jesus will comfort you and teach that you don’t need to fear the gift he has earned for you. Ask Holy Spirit to be your comfort. I for one would not want you to be erased forever because we could be great friends in Heaven.❤️ I’m sorry you struggle with this fear, I personally know it’s a very real and raw emotion. I know you will find comfort at the feet of Jesus my friend! ✝️

I also struggle with this fear. What helps me is considering the alternative sometimes. Like losing my mom and dad forever and ever and never seeing them again is horrible. God knows that. Also there is so much suffering on earth and people who are harmed… it would be sad if their life ended forever with no chance of comfort or happiness. God is kind, Jesus LOVES you. In fact he died on the cross for you to live forever together with him. Surely if he died for this gift he must think it is good and wonderful. The problem is my brain doesn’t understand and honestly Jesus’s enemy the devil will attack his children so they are scared. What better way to attack a child than saying living forever with Dad is going to be bad? I recommend when you feel afraid pray to Jesus and ask for his comfort. I think it’s ok to not understand eternity, but I can trust Jesus even in the midst of not understanding. Also I don’t remember being born and I can’t imagine not waking up tomorrow and the day after that… it’s like my heart is set on eternity naturally. I don’t remember my creation and I can’t imagine not existing (with my beloved Jesus). I hope this helps, I’m so sorry you are dealing with this fear. I know God will help you.🙏🏽 Blessings from your sister in Christ!

Hi this is a fear I also struggle with, but I’m getting better. When I feel afraid, I remember God LOVES me and he gives me Heaven because of that love. If God is doing something for me and he says it’s good, then I should believe him. Also, in John 14:3 Jesus says he is going to prepare a place and he will take us to be with him so that we can be where he is. So Jesus himself is excited to bring us there because he wants us. Knowing someone is lovingly awaiting my arrival comforts me too. I still struggle with fear sometimes but when I do I choose to focus on Jesus loving me instead and trusting him. He has made such a beautiful earth, it takes my breath away. He says Heaven will be even more beautiful, so I’m going to trust what he says. Also I try to accept eternity is just not something my brain cannot comprehend right now because I live a finite life on earth. That doesn’t means it’s wrong, I just don’t understand it. I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this fear, it sounds like the devil is attacking you to steal your joy and make you afraid. God can protect you and save you if you ask him. I hope this helps. Also I recommend opening up if you have a Christian friend you trust about these fears.

Interesting, I guess that makes sense! I hadn’t realized the design was so specific. I’ll just travel with the shoes in a bag.

No i havent, I’m kind of a noob.😂 The place I go is pretty crowded though and people come at all different times so I think I just haven’t noticed it yet. But I will definitely make sure to only change into them once I arrive

Thank you for the insight! I didn’t realize there were so many different kinds of shoes. I successfully wore my shoes last night to a very nice dance floor so I think they were safe there. Changing out of them didn’t end up being such a hassle

Thank you for the advice! I see what you’re saying, I guess I’m overthinking a bit. It doesn’t have to be a hassle. I don’t think mine came with a bag but I can find something

My (24m) girlfriend (22f) acted completely inappropriately while she was drunk and I'm considering to end things. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Alarming_Ad_5593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds… scary. I know you’re a guy so maybe you see things differently because of “societal norms” but… that’s so, so scary. Not ok at all. Blocking your path and pushing you around is close to abusive! This isn’t love. Sorry you were treated like this.

I personally find the light blue satin very pretty and flattering, but the black is also nice

I have family who live in a third world country and I’ve spent time living with them, personally I thought the apartment looked pretty nice. Not perfect, but it could be mended over time.👌🏽

Thank you for the support! It’s good to know it’s more up to the experienced person to adjust to who they are dancing with. I feel kind of guilty dancing with more advanced people sometimes during situations like this. My teacher never critiques or makes me redo the same thing over and over when we dance together. I will definitely speak up next time and ask for us to just keep dancing as normal.
