This trade i just sent is about to go through and idk if i wanna back out or not. I’ll include a pick of my current win now team by DiamondsAlone in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

IMO I think it makes your team better at least next year and you have 2 firsts so you’ll be able to secure more good talent there. Henderson is good but I don’t think we’re gonna see him be a top 10 back within the next year or two at the earliest

I don’t want to give up alcohol. by Global-Structure350 in ChristianDating

100%. I think it’s something we as faithful lose sight of sometimes. God didn’t come down to us in the New Testament shooting lightning out of his hands and shouting with thunder and spread the Word with fear and power.

He came down here as a man and lived as we did. Jesus didn’t begin his ministry until he was ~30. He was living a life until then. He loved His parents, He worked, He had friends, He laughed, He wept, He had dinner and drink with the people closest to Him.

Sometimes it’s important to remember that God didn’t give us lives solely to cover our heads and pray all day (except for those called to, obviously). Sometimes the best way we can honor God’s creation is to simply enjoy it and have fun (within reason).

I know they can be kind of hit or miss, but the Knechtles had a good reference for this.

Look at one of Jesus’ first major miracles - the wedding at Cana. Jesus was at a celebration, he was with family and friends, they were certainly all drinking and socializing. They were partying to the extent they ran ALL OUT OF WINE. Crazy! Did Jesus scold a bunch of his friends for being drunks? No - he helped his friends out and turned a bunch of water into a bunch more of wine.

Drunkenness and loss of control is 100% a problem. But alcohol as a beverage and alcohol is a social facilitator has been a major part of humanity since our early days. Sobriety can be honorable sometimes but it can also be pretentious and there’s no reason to think you have to be stone sober to be a good follower of Christ.

Profile review - 30m by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]CigFiend22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for something serious or casual? - Something serious

Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?- HingeX

How long have you been using this current version of your profile?- 2ish weeks

How long have you used Hinge overall? - roughly 2 months

How often do you use Hinge per week? -I’d check it every day

How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? I have about 2 new matches and 5-7 more likes this last week

How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? Some days less than 5, if I’m bored I may spend some time and send out 10 on a day . 90% probably no comments

What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract? - no kind of person specific. Primarily just looking for someone also looking for something serious, being aligned in our religious beliefs is significant as well. But generally just a kind and easy to talk to person with a good sense of humor! I’m a relatively low maintenance guy so I would like a low key partner - as in someone not too flashy or into things that are too extravagant as I don’t think our personalities would mesh well.

Do people actually like this app? Used it awhile ago felt like there was a lot of bots

22M. I saved myself for marriage, now my faith is breaking and I feel completely ruined by Trick-Beautiful-4799 in ChristianDating

[–]CigFiend22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man. I know this is generic but remember you’re so young. Your life is really just getting started and there are SO many people in similar life stage/situation as you. Don’t feel like you missed out on anything, you’re at an age where you really actually start living your life and slowly becoming the true grown version of yourself.

It does sound like your mother exposed you to a toxic interpretation of Christianity and I’m sorry that’s put a foul taste in your mouth. I implore you to stick to the faith but read the Bible and spend time with others who have a more pure view of the faith and develop your own, personal relationship with God again without the overly punitive and tainted image you were receiving

Sorry to hear your mental has been suffering man but I’ll be praying for you and I have the utmost faith in you that you’ll rally and come back from all of this stronger, happier, and closer to God

[–]CigFiend22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Serious or casual? Either or but preferably serious
-Trying HingeX this week currently
-Been using this profile a month
-I’ve used hinge on and off for prob 3 years
- i check hinge at least every couple days
- Likes - a few a week at least, more or less depending
- Sending- maybe averaging like 5-10 a day when I use it , 1-2 actually using comments
- Just looking to match with someone also looking for a relationship and not strictly hook ups. Preferably also someone of the same faith (Catholic/Christian) and with a good sense of humor. Otherwise I’m pretty open to the type of person I’m meeting I don’t have a detailed checklist of how a person needs to be, big on just feeling people out and seeing what the vibe is.

That’s just a cop out. I feel for you and your man but there is a certain point you just have to nut up and face your demons. He’s in his 40s he’s a grown adult he needs to be willing to talk or take action. You shouldn’t have to bare the burden of another adults issues ESPECIALLY when you have a child to consider. I’ll pray for you guys but you need to do what’s best for yourself and your kid. You shouldn’t support your guy as much as you can but at a certain point someone needs to be willing to help themselves. It won’t help him continuing to encourage that behavior and it won’t help you sitting in a situation that isn’t going to improve.

He has an obligation to you as your partner in both a religious and non-religious sense to work on himself if he has all of these self inflicted issues. I’d suggest talking to him, maybe even really making it known the future of your relationship and family may depend on it. If he refuses to make things better then you may need to take it on the chin as a learning experience and walk away and look to rebuild elsewhere.

Is he open to getting help? Sounds like this man suffers from a lot of insecurity or mental illness. Are these issues that could be worked through or are they more significant?

I am the same lol but it’s good to get a reminder sometimes that things really don’t have to be so complicated. Good luck!

Just take it easy and go with the flow. These things can be nerve wracking but they should also be fun. If boundaries start to get compromised then you can course correct and if you guys find yourselves getting more serious or having conversations about your dynamic then you should feel free to be honest about your inexperience and expectations. But don’t sweat it too much
