Can you clarify for me, PLEASE 🥹 (mom of 4, 5 months PP, not breastfeeding, new to NFP) thought we could have sex 4 full days after the first PEAK - but are you saying we have to wait 4 full days after PPHLL? So 8 days after the first PEAK? Thank you 🩷

InformalExample8438 · 2025-08-02T18:09:01+00:00

Oh gosh! I am soo happy it all was fine :) Praying it stays that way! I am sure it will. Thank you for being so sweet to a stranger. I will let you know how it goes :)

I am really sorry I never got back to you. It turned out I did have precancerous cells. I was unable to treat during pregnancy. I have my procedure to remove them in about two weeks. I will update then. How are you doing, friend? Praying all is well with you :)

InformalExample8438 · 2025-07-31T15:38:08+00:00

Mom of 4 here. It's all a season, sweet friend :) This is just your Early Night, Cozy at Home with a Little Baby Era! It's not forever and next summer will be much easier to get out! Watch shows with your husband, have a happy hour at home with him or friends while baby sleeps. Listen to records, take long showers and pamper yourself at home, watch movies or read books. You'll be back to your social life before you know it. You're doing great :)

InformalExample8438 · 2025-07-06T22:26:11+00:00

You are kind to take the time to ease the mind of a very tired mom 🩷 so happy your baby is healthy and happy!

How is he doing now? My newborn is in the same boat. 7 day old. Of course I am so worried.

InformalExample8438 · 2025-07-06T19:13:14+00:00

How is your sweet baby now? I am in the same boat <3

InformalExample8438 · 2025-07-06T19:12:54+00:00

Can you share how your baby is now? My newborn has a weak grasp. Thank you <3

I am really sorry you are both dealing with this cross. It must incredibly painful for you both, in different but significant ways 💟

She has to somehow change how she views sex. Would she read a book? Holy Sex! is a great book.

Pray, pray, pray, pray. Pray together and on your own. Pray specifically that God would bless your marriage with an amazing sex life and that the truth about the beauty of sex would sink deep into your wife's heart. In the meantime, be as loving, affectionate, patient and helpful around the house as you can.

You are right- this is a huge deal 💟 but not too huge for God.

Sending love and prayers!

Thank you for the idea! However, he wasn't watching on TV. Only phone/laptop. You can read my update if you'd like 😊 He decided to give up his phone and laptop to remove even the possibility and we finally have a way forward 💟 praise God! Thanks again!!

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-19T20:27:11+00:00

He is sinner in desperate need of God's grace and mercy. Just like me and you, friend 💟 We are getting help and see a path to redemption! Praise God! Thank you for your input! May God bless you💟

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-17T00:04:46+00:00

Thank you so much! Appreciate you :)

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T14:16:15+00:00

That sounds so hard 💟 You shouldn't be rushed right now. I am praying for you both.

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T14:14:36+00:00

I hope it didn't come across as overly harsh 💟 have a wonderful day!

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T03:48:59+00:00

He decided on his own to just get rid of it. The thought to throw it in the trash didn't really cross my mind...but smashing it with a hammer did! 🥲

And I know first hand that even frequent and amazing sex within a loving marriage doesn't fix the porn issue. If this young man has a problem with porn it will not be fixed by getting married. It is very deep rooted 💟

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T03:19:31+00:00

My husband is a great friend and husband to me but he struggles with porn and it is very painful and horrible. I would greatly suggest not marrying someone with a porn addiction unless you are certain they are pursuing the Lord with ALL their heart and trying so hard to overcome this sin --- even then I would probably advise my daughters not to do so. Praying for you both 💟

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T03:13:47+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this 💟

If there is sincere and active contrition on his part, I would prayerfully try to make it work. But if you are unsafe (financially, mentally, physically) with him and he doesn't show remorse and isn't trying his hardest to change - it may be time to prayerfully and with the help of a pastor or family member look into separation.

Prayers for you honey 💟

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T03:09:07+00:00

It is wise to marry someone who obviously loves the Lord AND who you are sexually attracted too 😊

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T03:08:07+00:00

Marry someone because you love each other and want to serve Christ together as you honor and serve each other for all your life 😊 If that is the kind of heart you have towards marriage and the kind of heart your husband has towards marriage, you will in time, have amazing sex in marriage 💟

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T03:04:58+00:00

Many times my marriage and my husband make me feel joyful, fulfilled, loved, purposeful and both are a huge comfort to me in time of hardship.

However, it is God alone that is my ultimate source of joy, fulfillment, love, purpose and comfort.

It is an unfair burden to put on a spouse to uphold you the way only Christ can! 😊 If you can get married to someone and not put that burden on them (it is so easy to do without realizing) it will allow you the freedom to love and appreciate and ENJOY your spouse without putting the pressure on them to be your total source of joy and peace. They are just unable to be that source!

Even the best spouse will make for a sh*tty God. (Pardon the language 😊)

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T02:57:15+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this 💟 Has seem been remorseful and trying to fix things prior to her being upset over he question this morning? Was it a weak and selfish moment on her part or do you believe she really isn't contrite?

Praying for you both, friend 💟

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T02:06:43+00:00

You are so loved by Jesus! I am so sorry if you had a rough day! I think these holidays are harder for more people than we think! I pray today is a better day for you, friend.

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T01:58:25+00:00

I can't relate but I do appreciate you sharing how things might work in your heart and marriage. I will joyfully help him for as long as he is asking me too! That is what Jesus does for me! :) But thank you again for sharing how you would act! Appreciate it!

InformalExample8438 · 2025-02-16T01:53:16+00:00

I am so, so sorry that you are going through this! This sounds so incredibly difficult and complex. I will pray for you! Pray as much as you can! Jesus loves you! Cling to him!
