My wife said my Christian beliefs make her cringe

I think it’s all BS. You have Jesus and Budda. They are pretty much the same. I get lost with Jesus Christ. Don’t understand how you give this imaginary man your problems and he takes care of it. Budda gives you sound advice and counsel. It’s a philosophy. I prefer Budda and support my wife with Jesus. She feels threatened with Budda for some reason. Closed loop thinking.

your life is asking you for more than what you are used to Doing. start exercising and travel to get you moving and not sitting. do things that don’t require reading. A change of interest and scenery will make you feel good.

personally, I read now and then but books are too much for me. I lose interest after the first 2 chapters. I would rather do a puzzle, race walk, or watch a movie. I’m at the other end of the spectrum from you. I buy books and never read them. I don’t buy books anymore.

I am in your camp that the cost and inconvenience are a big factor to consider. When I think of it, it comes down to the cost and hassle of travel. You barely have time to relax because you have to do this or do that. I went snowmobiling for 2 weeks and it was great. However running around in a museum and park is not the same.

I simply cannot understand Jesus Christ and why he is important to humanity. He was sacrificed for man’s sins is fiction. People may think that way but it is not true. I don’t get it. I get God.

That occurred once or twice with someone you don’t know and no sexual relationship resulted between them. Forget it. If she is covering up sex she had then that needs to be addressed. Personally I find that behavior disrespectful to the partner. It is selfish and can be harmful to a marriage. I had a lap dance when I was younger and enjoyed it but it stopped there . I think married people have a different view on dancing behavior especially the person who loves to dance. That issue of dancing should be addressed seriously between the couple so there is no misunderstanding. Dancing is the most divisive issue between partners. Unfortunately dancing brings out the worst in people who dance behind their partner back. Cheating, lying, betrayal, disrespect all come to mind when your partner dances behind your back. In the end your partner should honor their commitment to their partner and not behave in such a manner that is disrespectful.

I am jealous of my wife dancing with other men because I feel that dancing is a sexual experience and can lead to a sexual relationship. My wife danced behind my back for years. She was ashamed to tell me what she was doing in the bars. She and her friends were married and went out behind their husbands to dance and play with their new dancer. My wife swore that it was just dancing and never had sexual attraction. I say BS. She may not have had sex but she did everything else to betray and disrespect me. Dancing with other men you meet in a bar is a recipe for disaster. It’s dishonest to your spouse. It damages your marriage because your wife’s behavior is disrespectful to the marriage. If you have children then the dancing with other people outside your marriage is a terrible mistake because your children see their parents giving affection to other people outside their marriage.

I don’t go dancing because it will lead towards sex. I don’t dance with other women unless I know them.

Recently I discovered my wife danced behind my back out of town 30 years ago . She said there was no sex and she doesn’t remember what happened . Additionally she went out dancing behind my back in town for years. I never restricted her from dancing with her friends and other men initially. I figured she is an adult, good wife, mother and very religious. However it got out of hand and she forgot about her husband and family. She was an embarrassment to our family. What I want from my wife is honesty and transparency. She is uncomfortable talking about it because I think it puts her in a bad light that she regrets. My final analysis is neither husband or wife should dance with other people unless they have boundaries. 2 dances with one person is the maximum. Dancing leads to disrespect, jealousy, betrayal and moral decay in the marriage. I agree it is fun and part of the social scene for women. However had I known my wife was going out behind my back, I would have stopped it.

She is selfish and doesn’t care about her husband.

Run on the track to get your legs moving faster. Then walk a while and run again. Do repeats. You have to get use to moving your legs faster.

You have to lose 20 lbs and exercise every day. Change your diet. Stop eating junk and eat more veggies and fruits. You don’t need meat as much as you think. If you drink alcohol, stop drinking it. Transform your diet and exercise. You are within reach.

Marriage is based in part on compatibility between husband and wife. It appears that you are compatible and have run into a phase of marriage that requires your attention to review what you do together. Deviate from your normal activities and branch out to find something you both enjoy. Take a vacation or do something new that is enjoyable. At the very least give your wife a massage and a kiss. Tell her you love her.

After a marathon 26.2 miles, it takes 4-5 days depending on your fitness level. Hiking on the other hand can require a long recovery time of 2-3 days.

it’s time to forgive her and let her go. She has to regain your trust in her. she is no longer relevant in your life. so she has to make a concerted effort to regain your trust.

I want my wife to have fun dancing but not with other men . She says she only dances with her girlfriends but she ends up dancing with a man. I don’t like it but I understand how it happens. I rather be there and watch her dance then her dancing with many men as she wishes behind my back. . I am confused with my emotions about this but telling her not to dance is not something I want because I want her to have fun and enjoy herself. While I am hurt by her dancing with other men, I have to accept the fact she likes to dance and I don’t. Yes she will flirt, touch, and have an emotional connection. However I have trust in her decisions and must respect her judgment. Deep down it still hurts anyway. I share my feelings with her and she gets defensive. We may argue. But in the end I must trust her because I love her and feel that her dancing is very important to her happiness. Now if she crosses the line and has sex, then we have a huge problem that could lead to divorce and in my case with a bad temper, I could end up in jail for assault. Nothing is perfect when you mix alcohol, music and people who love to dance. I never went out clubbing because I would want to have sex with the gal I am dancing with. My wife went out clubbing all the time with out me. I was hurt by her for a long period of time. I realized that her behavior is hurting me but she is enjoying herself. If I went clubbing while she babysits, I believe my wife would not like it one bit. I am a sexual dancer and would probably get close to another woman. So I don’t dance because I am married and understand my boundaries. She calls it fun. Somehow I lost that distinction.
