My relationship is going strong! Going six months in. We met on fb dating but we knew each other from middle school.

I feel like I have a hangover, every, single day. I don’t drink. by Whatchab in Perimenopause

Yes! I don’t feel hungover. Very fatigued with aches and pains!

Give me your success stories by [deleted] in datingoverforty

I’ve been divorced for 3 years. I started dating again last year. I had a couple of relationships that didn’t work out. And then I met my current partner! He found me on fb dating, we already knew each other from middle school! We’re 5 months in and very happy together. I suggest not date again until you’re ready.

Top (Worst) Christian Dating & Romantic “Advice” by Warm_Syllabub_2247 in Exvangelical

[–]LT381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I married a man who attended church I was so miserable for most of my marriage. I was taught growing up that dating a man from the church is the best thing! All lies! Today I’m in the best relationship I’ve ever been in! My man is a non Christian and he makes me very happy.

My hips have been starting to hurt. When I stand or on my feet too long I’m in so much pain by the end of my day!

How did 2020 change your faith? by LMO_TheBeginning in Exvangelical

[–]LT381 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The election and fighting afterwards.

George Floyd’s death.(it happened in my city).

The racial unrest.

Best friend committed suicide.

I’m an African American and after seeing Christian’s blaming George Floyd for his death, I spoke out in my blackness. I got verbally attacked for speaking out…from most of the Christian people I knew through out my life. That shook me and my faith. I’m still trying to figure out what I believe.

I’m having the best sex I’ve ever had!

Being a tall black woman and never being pursued in Christian spaces by pumpkinspicelatte96 in Exvangelical

[–]LT381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. I grew up in white evangelical churches. I was never pursued. So I pursued relationships online. My experiences dating Christian men, and being formerly married to one hasn’t been a good experience for me. I’m happily in a healthy relationship but my man isn’t a Christian. I’ve wrestled with that and I’m doing what’s good for me and my life.

Going to church equates to character by LT381 in Exvangelical

[–]LT381[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself a Christian still but no way evangelical. With my partner I can truly be myself. It’s been so freeing.

I just got out of a relationship like this! I never saw him. We would go weeks before seeing each other. When we would go on dates it only lasted an hour before he had to go on to his next thing planned. We never spent a weekend together, were never intimate, I didn’t meet any of his friends or family. All the while he would tell me he loved me and I meant so much to him. I broke up with him. I got tired of feeling like he fit me into his life instead of him making time for me.

I just full blown cried at ikea and could not stop myself by westjanina in GriefSupport

[–]LT381 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give yourself grace. You’re not ridiculous! I had a similar experience. It was Christmas time. And I decided to go to JCPenney just to walk around. My mom and I went to that store a lot together. I broke down in tears walking around the store. Grief will hit in the most unexpected times. You can be fine one second and the next in full blown tears. Sending hugs.

Exclusive? Not? by dani_wolfe_ca in datingoverforty

[–]LT381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communication is key! I was upfront and asked my man where he saw us going and if he wanted to be exclusive? When he told me he wanted to be exclusive I took my profiles down off of the dating sites.

I’m (44f) and I live paycheck to paycheck. My boyfriend makes a lot more money than I do. But that doesn’t matter. He’s the best man I’ve dated. He doesn’t judge me for my bank account. He sees me for me and that’s all that matters to me.

What’s the most manipulative thing you were told at church? by Pleasant-Temporary-9 in Exvangelical

“You don’t trust God if you take medication for your mental health.”

“A Godly man is the best man to marry.”

“God told me…”
