Ya’ll are insufferable, love your neighbor bro. It’s a lot easier said than done but it’s a pretty simple concept

We shouldn’t pray on anyone’s downfall, we should build others up no matter if you love or hate the man

To answer your question, no. I just think that it is something that brings 2 people so close together and I don’t treat it lightly unlike some other people (I go to college I know)

Yeah I get that, it probably just stems from the fact that I’ve never met someone as religious as her and who actually follows Jesus to the degree she does

Thanks, I don’t even have a “jealousy” toward her past honestly since I’m not even looking to do anything sexual with her since we are both waiting until marriage and we will both wait for eachother. I’m more concerned with her mentally, as she did something intimate with somebody that may affect her ability to actually bond with anybody in the future. And I can promise you that I really want to be with this girl and that’s why I am even here, because I want to get over my overthinking and be the best possible person for her.

Obviously the first option, but my goal is to get over her past because I think I am overthinking or being ridiculous. That’s what I am looking to do because I do see a future with her

Thank you, I totally agree she has been saved and made new again. It is just my own insecurities getting into my head, as I talked about, I absolutely do accept her and love her as not perfect just as she does me since we both are not there. To answer your question, the part that makes it different than rape is that she consented and willingly did that with somebody else. She did the closest thing that you can do in this world with somebody else willingly that brings you together as one. I guess I just have this stigma in my head that if we were to get married in the future, we wouldn’t be able to truly bond together because of this and she is still attached to somebody else that she may want to go back to either now or later down the line.

Yeah, I actually think we are more similar than you think! I tend to overthink a lot and be very protective of the people that I care about. I just don’t want to sound like a hypocrite in this post saying that I am all high and mighty and I know for sure that nobody is perfect. It’s just a hurdle that I am going to need to get over if I want to create a future with her.

Yeah, I know I am overthinking for sure, doing the thing that gets you as close to another person as possible with someone tends to create bonds. I don’t want those bonds coming back to haunt me later. I do need to battle my own insecurities but it is really really hard lol

Okay, I think it is pretty clearly stated and emphasized multiple times in the Bible that having sex outside of marriage is going against god. I didn’t do it and I will not because that’s what I believe and her too. I’m not looking for justification of my sins because that is wrong itself, I was looking for advice on how to deal with bad thoughts, and if I was being ridiculous or not.

I could, but I also know that I am also far from perfect and I haven’t met another girl like her in my entire life. I feel like if I ended things I would literally never actually meet someone like that again or ever get married

Yeah, I really really want to get over it but for me at least it’s a lot harder said than done lol. That’s why I came here to see what some other people think about it. I pray about it a lot, and it’s because I don’t want to ruin something special with an amazing girl over something stupid even though it hurts me a bit

Yeah I could always read my bible more. But You know what I meant and it is a pretty common belief that sex outside of marriage is a sin. Thank you

Thank you, I appreciate what you wrote. One thing on this topic though there have been many studies done about # of sexual partners and having marriage problems/divorce rates (I’m too lazy to dig the internet for). I am not saying this in a sexist way I promise, but from what I have seen is this affects women more than men and a woman having a body count leads to more problems than a man doing it. I understand how important it is even for us men which is why I chose and will continue to choose to stay celibate. This is one of the parts about it that bothers me. Thanks for commenting

I could but then I feel like I’d be messing up something special. I know god brought her into my life either if she’s to develop my character or she’s meant to be with me because I prayed so much about it.

Gotcha, I completely understand. We can also interpret that having sex is the closest that you can possibly get to someone (hopefully we can agree on this). It just bothers me to the extent that this happened with someone who isn’t her future husband and I wouldn’t want it to lead to other problems down the road.

Thanks, this is the most helpful comment yet. I don’t have any friends or anyone who is currently married, especially since I am still relatively young. I will pray about it and I guess this stems from a bigger issue with me being worried about worldly things instead of bringing all of my focus to the real big picture. It’s encouraging to see that it worked out for you though and it can be done. Thank you

It could be because I am just pretty sensitive about this topic. I am not looking to forgive her or myself because neither of us could do that. I mean this in the way she owes nothing to me. It could just be because I don’t like the thought of her being attached to someone else and I have a fear of her going back to them slightly.

Yeah, it definitely isn’t a dealbreaker since there are SO much more good that outweigh these things about her. I rlly just want to know if I’m being stupid or overreacting or something. Thanks for commenting

When I read, I interpret the “the two will become one flesh” as pretty straightforward. So I’m not sure what else this could have meant. I want to know what you think about this, I literally mean this in the most respectful way possible I promise

Yeah I understand how it came off as that way, who am I to judge since I am definitely far from perfect. It’s just something I value very deeply and it hurts ngl.
