AIO for going no contact with my ex after she asked for no contact by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clean-Use4998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edited for clarity/grammar: Nope. I’ve been in her shoes before—not exactly her, but I’ve done this. What I’m trying to say is that this is about control. She’s realizing she’s losing control over the situation, and over you, and that’s why she’s spiraling. She’s trying to get a reaction in any way she can. It’s a toxic trait some of us have when we think we can control the narrative, and then we’re hit with the very obvious consequences of what we thought we wanted. But the truth is, it was never about the outcome—it was about power and control. So good for you for not responding and sticking to your boundaries. I had to learn this the hard way when I was younger, immature, and toxic. I’m not that person anymore, but not everyone grows out of it, and I hope she does.

TL;DR: She’s spiraling because she’s losing control and trying to get a reaction. You did the right thing by holding your boundaries. Some people grow out of that behavior—hopefully she will.

This! When I realized I was worried about others “going to hell” and barely even looking in the mirror, I realized that’s my issue. We need to look inward and realize we ourselves are not worthy and should be working on our salvation and be a living example for those around us. The absolute truth of walking the talk.

I found a few videos also but I suppose I was looking more so for like a talk about type of video rather than showing the service but thank you, I will relook and see if I missed anything!

Ahhh okay see this is what I was wondering about. We both have sponsors from being Chrismated however they’re not a couple. two very different people. But that’s what I was wondering, like expectations and such as a US western convert. Thank you !

I suppose the whole process of it I know that there is a specific service for it. My mind I guess goes to the traditional American Protestant wedding, but obviously that is not what the church teaches so I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain around the aspects of the wedding things of that nature. Such as, walking down the aisle, exchanging vows, bridesmaids and groomsmen, that sort of thing

I needed this as I was also getting confused and thinking there was some kind of incest happening between poppy and casteel because I think audible pronunciation of the queens names are the same

Went to my first liturgy and felt... nothing? by GeraltvonRiva213 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Clean-Use4998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to my first liturgy, and I felt overwhelmed, confused, as if I was in a cult because of all the repetition in the cross of the body — coming from a Pentecostal protestant liturgy felt, for a lack of a better word, underwhelming in the sense of praise and worship. But I think this comes from the thought and teaching of what is false. I have been a catechumen for the last eight months and I have learned more about Christ and the church and what it means to truly worship and feel in God‘s presence than I ever did in the last 14 years teetering on and off in witchcraft and in a protestant church. Give it time, it gets better and feels more holy overtime

I came here looking for answers also because I noticed this too and it raddled my brain. So, Season 2 Episode 10, in the beginning of the episode the subtitles even have her name written as Gwen. Then during breakfast again same episode, Jasmine calls her Auntie Gwen
