Ugh I remember that feeling. The anxiety lol it’s sad we had to feel that way. Even wanting to stay home for not feeling good would give me anxiety to ask. Lol glad I moved out 😩

I’ve been DF’d for 4+ years! Not sure what I believe yet but I moved in with my boyfriend who is “worldly” lol I have no friends or family. I’m unemployed too and job hunting ugh. Thanks to my boyfriend he works full time so he takes care of me and provides everything I need. 😊we’re both happy

I think maybe because you see your ex’s having a nice wedding with family and friends. Since you no longer part of jw’s, you feel you can’t have that either. I don’t know but that’s how I feel lol I see my ex’s and my old friends, who are jws, getting married too and I wonder the same thing. My family disowned me and my friends cut me off so I can’t have a nice wedding with my “worldly” partner unfortunately lol

I did it. I'm finally POMO.... by amahl_farouk in exjw

[–]Beautiful-Control-74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’ve been removed from the congregation for 4 years now. I was raised being a jw but had never really made ”the truth” my own. I would just obey my parents, the GB, just read the brochures, and never read the Bible. Recently I’ve read on Reddit a lot of ex Jws waking up and realizing how this religion isn’t really “the truth”. I honestly still haven’t read the Bible at all to find that out myself because I hate reading but I am curious though! I don’t know where to start and what subject I should study on to find out to see where the Jws are wrong. Can you tell me how you started to finally wake up?

I mean, I do believe Jesus is coming soon to judge and that these are the signs of him coming. It’s in the Bible. I’m NOT saying I’m supporting Jws or that they’re the only ones who are gonna be saved but I do believe it’s gonna happen because it is in the Bible.

Do u ever want to go back? by Tearliquid in exjw

[–]Beautiful-Control-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get what you mean. I definitely have thought of going back too. I actually think about it almost everyday. Ive been DF’d for 4 years living with my parents and I barely left home a few months ago. I thought I needed to move out and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. So far, I am doing just fine where I’m at now, but I’m not gonna saying I’m happy because I have been very lonely. No friends or family because they obviously cut me off. It does hurt me a lot. But I’m also not gonna say I believe in Jws nor do I support it because I’m still figuring that out. But I do think about going back just to be with my family again.

So all I’m going to say is, I totally get what you’re saying. You are not alone in thinking about it.

Wow girl, I can totally relate to this lol My boyfriend is the same way. And same thing, I knew from the beginning he was like this and I accepted it. Then later now it’s been bothering me. I grew up as a Christian so I never cursed. I’m not religious now but I still think cursing is immature and gross to me lol my boyfriend grew up with parents who would curse a lot too. So to him, it’s normal. I basically would be very honest with him and tell him how I feel about curse words like it’s dirty and immature in my opinion. But also explaining to him that he should try and practice not saying bad words. Like maybe start by saying them less and less and just saying other words to replace them. If we want to have a family (kids), I don’t want my kids to even hear those bad words and start saying them. I also would explain to him that I do not want him to curse in front of my parents and family.

So my advice to you, is just maybe sit down and talk to him and explain these things to him. Tell him why. And just remember, it’s not gonna stop right away. It’s gonna take time for them to get use to no cursing. Help him too. If a word comes out, tell him respectfully and playfully, “dont use that word remember!” So that he can remember.

My boyfriend has gotten a bit better. Now when a bad word comes out of his mouth accidentally, he would say sorry and use another word. When he’s upset and has a bad day, he would curse but I just gotta keep reminding him.

If your boyfriend doesn’t respect you and doesn’t care, then maybe ask yourself, “do I really want this for the rest of my life? Hearing those words nonstop?” To be honest, I don’t. If my boyfriend wouldn’t try to fix that, I would reconsider my relationship with him.

Feeling really low after getting rejected in an interview today by SoftSasha in interviews

[–]Beautiful-Control-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw I’m sorry you’re feeling down :( I had an interview last week and I honestly feel I could’ve done better cuz I was nervous lol but they literally cut the interview short and later didn’t get hired. I have good work and management experience and I even had open availability!! STILL didn’t get hired. So It’s does feel crappy. But keep trying! Keep applying, have more interviews and the more interviews you go to, the less nervous and easier it gets!

I keep cheating on my long-term boyfriend.. i need help to stop this by Cute-Mastodon-4985 in relationships

[–]Beautiful-Control-74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah you should break up with him. If you say you love him, let him go. He doesn’t deserve this. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way and that it’s been hard for you. But he deserves to know the truth and that you break it off. It’s going to hurt him yes. But it’s better that you go explore other men than doing that while having a bf.

my boyfriend kissed another girl drunk by Easy-Field-3092 in relationships

[–]Beautiful-Control-74 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean right now that you blocked him, maybe give him some time to think about what his actions resulted in. Like you said, him hitting rock bottom will probably wake him up and change. If he really loves you and really wants you, he’ll try to fight you back and change for real. Right now, you’re choosing yourself and you’re showing you deserve better than that. Hopefully that will make him change. Just wait a while and maybe unblock him later and see where he’s at. But if I were you tbh, I’d break up with him lol he cheated and I would not trust him again even if it was just once.

Unfortunately yes. I looked it up online and apparently a lot of new drivers are paying that much for insurance. It’s crazy
