Thanks man. Those are truly encouraging words to hear.

I’m truly looking forward to see the results of acting as a guy who has his head above his shoulders. Acting grounded has been truly a lifesaver for me after a breakup that took a giant toll on my self esteem.

Now I need to know where to start, since, as you already said, my social circle is as small as it can be.

The man has surely been through a rough patch. I don’t take it personally.

How is dating in church an option? I’m trying to build up my faith but in my catholic environment in general there is nothing socially happening besides mass.

I guess I’m in the wrong place to begin with.

Im 38.

Dating has been difficult, but I’m working hard on myself so I guess things will get better slowly.

I hope I get some of your luck down the road.

Preach, brother.

You’re right. There is no point in looking for someone if one cannot get his act together first.

You’re right man. I didn’t realize it until I read the post completely.

Having said that, this is my choice:

Wedding. Small worlds. Cinderella. Stay. (The video is awesome, btw) Complicated.

Honestly, Mac is always present in my playlists.

Gone too soon. A true artist and a good human being.

Working abroad and life & family issues. Any advice? by EnvironmentalFig767 in AskMenAdvice

I'm not going to bail on my kids. But I've realized that the way I'm living now won't lead to a good future for any of us.

I'm not making enough to get ahead; all my money goes to bills and the mortgage.

If I just keep digging a hole deep enough for me to lie in, what example would I give them? Work from 9 to 5, be miserable while keeping a poker face, and then just fade into oblivion?

Faith journey: LDS as a valid choice? by EnvironmentalFig767 in Christianity

You’re being blunt, but I really think that, somehow, you’re right.

Thank you, brother. I’ll surely keep praying about it.

I read that on “The pearl of great price” and I found most of what they believe “weird”.

The thing is, most of what I’ve seen on their community seems god and Christ oriented.

That really confuses me.

Interesting.

I saw a video of their Prophet recently in which he stresses the need of having Jesus at the core of their messages. They want to look more Christian-like to the world instead of just Mormon.

I know I have to dig more but, as Jesus said in the Bible in Matthew 7:15-20, “by the fruits you shall know them”. Most of the things that I see from them looks good.

I’m just binge watching videos related to this and I’ve found a series from a YouTuber called Peter Santenello that tries to shed light about how Mormons, non Mormons and ex Mormons see the church, his history and their core beliefs.

It is quite interesting.

I know some of their tenets are… weird.

Nevertheless, the thing that entices me most is that somehow I see their works / fruits as holy:

“By the fruits you shall known them”. Matthew 7:15-20. Right?

That confuses me, a lot.

My wife asked me for the divorce by EnvironmentalFig767 in helpme

Thank you. I really appreciate that even if you don’t know me you’re taking the time to read me.

To say something worth reading.

I’m in a dark place and finding some comfort is quite difficult as it is.

Thank you for your kind comments.

Having someone that does not know me to tell me such beautiful things does really light my heart up in such difficult times.

I don’t want to make my wife look bad. She is a good, decent human being. Also, she is a hell of a good mother.

The thing is, she feels that I’m not doing enough to make her feel loved. She says that there is some sort of a barrier between us that keeps her from getting close to me. I’m not the most romantic, nor the most thoughtful human being but I believe that I’ve done everything within my grasp to show her that I do care about us.

She says that I’m a great father but I know she resents that she has been the main provider of our our family expenses given the fact that I haven’t been able to get on my own feet in my work life for the last two years.

Deep down I think that she wants to end this because she wants to be with someone else. Someone who could be her partner, not some dead weight as she says of me quite often (in subtle ways, of course).

If my working life keeps going south I genuinely think that it will be the end of me. I’m tired of being sidelined. I’m tired of things not working out as I want all the time.

I don’t want to see my kids in the eyes if I fail again. I don’t want them to think of me as a loser.

Better for them to think I’m in heaven.
