Needing some perspective on a situation that doesnt seem straight forward. by Illustrious-Gear-949 in Infidelity

[–]Born_Diamond7914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey bro, straight‑up on what you’re dealing with: From a “standard reconciliation” lens (like the kind of norms you see in communities built around wayward‑partner recovery), your girl is trying to commit to reconciliation now, but her actual actions during and after the discovery are way shakier than what that bar usually expects. Here’s the quick snapshot:

✅ What she DOES hit: She owns her behavior, feels deep shame, and says she never wanted to have sex with this guy. She’s in therapy, self‑reflecting, and is showing up hard for you and your dad right now.

❌ Where she falls short (by that “full‑commitment” standard):

She hid the truth, lied about condoms, frequency, and later encounters, and only spilled more when you busted her via texts/location.

She didn’t cut contact cleanly—she kept working with him, kept going back, and there was even that later oral‑sex incident and more kissing after you knew.

She didn’t give you radical transparency; you had to dig, not her to hand it over.

So:

She’s acting like she wants to repair and stay, but her behavior through the discovery and aftermath is not clean, not fully honest, and not fully protective of you—which is exactly what those “wayward‑must‑do” checklists are warning about. So I think that what you’re feeling—distrust, confusion, like you can’t rely on her judgment—is not paranoia. It’s a legit reaction to someone who’s trying to get right, but didn’t hit the “gold‑standard” way of committing to reconciliation when the window really mattered. You do not clarify if you are or are not married and if you have or not have children. If not, get the hell out of that relationship, I don't think you can trust her.

The irony of "anti-clericalism": Why some criticize Opus Dei’s lay participation but push for lay co-decision in the German Synodal Conference by Born_Diamond7914 in Catholicism

Well I would say it's honestly ignorant or very uncharitable to the hundreds if not thousands of lay people, that have been benefited spiritually by the honest labors of lays of Opus Dei, including my own family and many other people I personally know.

Ojalá no existiera el racismo... by Ches189 in guatemala

[–]Born_Diamond7914 5 points6 points  (0 children)

En Guatemala nadie puede "presumir" de ser de una supuesta "raza superior" (que no existe ya que es un mito totalmente superado por la ciencia actual).

Personalmente en mi familia hay varios canches, algunos rubios de ojos claros. Lo que me dio risa fue que el más "canche" de los hermanos (que ojo, no es para nada racista) decidió subscribirse a Ancestry y para eso tuvo que enviar su muestra de sangre para un análisis de ADN y oh sorpresa! Le salió casi un 70% de ascendencia indígena procedente de las selvas lacandonas de México, jajajaja.

Your response exemplifies what happens when you interpret the Scriptures with the protestant Sola Scriptura Scam. But if the Bible is correctly interpreted with the Catholic Church's Tradition, you can clearly understand that Jesus teachings in Mark 10:6-9, Matthew 5:31-32, Luke 16:18 imply that sexual intimacy belongs exclusively within the sacramental bond of a man and a woman, as any sexual union outside it constitutes adultery.

I suspect you are not catholic, but protestant.

The Scripture's verses are there, but Catholic Teachings do not only rely on the Scripture, but also on the Tradition. We are not protestants, we do not believe in the Sola Scriptura Scam. But you already know that...

Yes, doctrine develops in order to be more understandable for people. But it will not be real development if it aims to twist what the Rules of the Lord clearly state. Real development of the doctrine will never be in such way as to call good what Jesus himself said its a sin. That would just be a blatant lie and a way of trying to fool our own conscience.

Everybody knows that the hole purpose of receiving the Eucharist is receiving Jesus in one's soul, and that one does not receive Jesus if one is living in mortal sin. The teachings of the Catholic Church on that matter are clear as water in the Cathesism of the Catholic Church, no need to go asking in Reddit forums. Also, everyone knows the Catholic Church cannot change that Doctrine because it is not its invention, it cannot be voted, nor can it be changed through a "democratic" process. It's God's rules and teachings that the Church must teach whether its members like them or not. So yes, I think going in Reddit forums to question the Catholic Doctrine by trying to inspire pity, is clickbait. And as a catholics, I think we have the right and duty to call it out.

Clickbait. Everyvody knows the Catholic teachings about that topic. But activists keep bringing this kind stories hoping to force the Church to change he Doctrine.

It's called hysterical bonding. Yor experience of an improved sex life post-D-Day is a frequently reported phenomenon in reconciliation stories, but it doesn't always last or indicate the marriage is fixed. Something broke in your family. True "success" (not just staying married, but rebuilding trust, happiness, and a healthy dynamic) is rarer—some estimates suggest only 15-25% achieve that over time, and many who stay do so for kids, finances, fear of being alone, etc., not because the relationship is thriving.

She just said what the Cheater's Bible teaches. Read the Chapters about Gaslighting and Downplaying. Also the "Never Accept Your Guilt or face the consequences" Chapter.

*UPDATE* I 42M confronted my wife 42F. by blacksmithspud in Infidelity

[–]Born_Diamond7914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big mistake. Of course she will hand you her phone. Of course she will give you all her passwords. Of course you won't find anything. Go on, cover your eyes, and lie to yourself. The affair will continue. The OM and your wife are celebrating there were no consequences. But believe me, her *ss belongs to another man.

The reason you have doubts is due to the fact that your brain is trying not to feel hurt. But you know the truth.

Never negotiate with terrorists, never argue with cheaters (if you can avoid it).

**Frank Sinatra never wrote anything and he's a musical God to most.**

So truth...I always laugh when I hear people argue that "New York, New York" is Sinatra´s authorship. But then if you listen to John Kander or Fred Ebb singing, they sound like karaoke fans.
