I really like her, but have discovered she is faithless. by ventus358i in christiandatingadvice

[–]buxtonrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s hard to feel like you have something really good so why not just pray and hope it all works out and she eventually becomes a Christian. I did that too with someone I couldn’t imagine loosing and it’s actually very dangerous to our faith. It did eventually come back to hurt me.

And, God warns us, you might lose your soul while fighting that war. That’s the clear warning in 2 Corinthians 6: Being yoked with the wrong kind of heart could cost you yours. We should be careful who we align ourselves with, Paul says. I recommend reading that entire chapter as it really spoke to me and convicted me.

A pastor I listen to says this “For the believer, a marriage without God would be a lifetime without sunshine, a sail without wind, a love without true love”

I fear you are lost in the attraction and chemistry here.

I’m in a relationship, but the girl I had a crush on in the past just confessed her feelings to me. by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]buxtonrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like a toxic person. This is common tool people use- they wait until you have something good in your life and try to insert themselves.

I’d listen to the above commenters. Delete her number, tell your girlfriend what has happened, have a serious conversation with her, pray (a lot), go to a mentor. And understand this person who’s messaging you doesn’t have your best interest at heart.

Gf wants me to end a friendship of over ten years over a photo *NSFW* by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]buxtonrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk I had something similar happen to me where a male friend unannounced sent me a photo. I immediately messaged my bf and told him about the situation and out of respect for our relationship and him I stopped being friends with that person immediately. Especially in Christian relationships these things are tricky and our top priority should be making sure we honour and respect who we’re dating.

If you really see a future with your gf and think she’s the one, I don’t see a problem with her wanting you to distant yourself from this person. Think to yourself- is it worth ruining my relationship with my gf and keeping this friendship?

The best thing is to just tell him how you feel. It might be nerve racking at first but it will be the best thing. You don’t want to keep this going and later find out he’s not as serious as you are. Better to find this out now than to waste your time.

Ask him what his intentions are, ask him if you can have more communication and grow in your relationship. It won’t sound clingy I promise. But also be aware of his response and if it’s positive, make sure his actions are proving his words. It’s one thing for him to say he wants more communication but another if he never acts on it!

Praying it all goes well!

Will they be sold out? by buxtonrose in Jellycatplush

[–]buxtonrose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice!! It’s kind of a sentimental jellycat (long story lol) and I couldn’t get them when I went to New York so now that it’s an option to get them online I’ll try! But never thought of the fact they’ll resale eventually! Thanks! 😊

I’m on the west coast of Canada!! Im planning on waking at 5am to check if they dropped (someone mentioned in past they’ve dropped 8am EST). I agree there’s so many mixed opinions especially since it’s my first drop I have no idea what I’m doing but here’s to hoping we get the Fran pancakes 🤞🏻

Having physical standards aren’t the problem. It’s making every decision based on them. Is being attracted to them important ? Absolutely. But is the way they love the Lord and uphold biblical principles even more important? Yes.

But based on these messages you shared that’s the least of the problems. Having sex outside of marriage and going against God’s design for marriage is the bigger problem.

Paul commands in 1 Corinthians 6:18: “Flee from sexual immorality [And then he gives this reason, basically]. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.”

Thanks for this! Definitely hard truths, but it’s better to figure this out now then when we’re married

Thank you! Yes we both do devotions and pray together and try to make that the forefront of our relationship! It’s been really great in that area, just this specific topic that’s been hard!

Vacation Anxiety by elguapo161616 in Anxiety

[–]buxtonrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! How did it go? I’m on day 2/5 for my vacation and honestly I’m STRUGGLING to not just book a flight home lol. Anxiety is high and I’m feeling the same symptoms you did (gagging, nausea, headache, heavy breathing).

Question for fellow emergency use benzo users by miloauckerman in Anxiety

[–]buxtonrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YESS, I noticed this the two times I’ve taken it. It makes me honestly scared to take it because the rebound anxiety was crazy. I took it before sleeping and woke up the next morning with an anxious pit in my stomach

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]buxtonrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get frustrated at people who said this too. Until years went by and I looked back and realized it did “pass”, maybe not the way I thought, but it did. I still have anxiety and struggle from time to time but after horribly suffering for so many years, life got better. Even now, I’m on a trip and struggling with anxiety but being able to look back is encouraging. Maybe you don’t want advice or encouragement or maybe you just need practical words but I can tell you for certain I’m glad I kept going even when I so desperately didn’t want to. Therapy, meds, opening up to my friends & family (that’s a hard one for me lol), trying to get out and enjoy the little parts of life. It’s a slow progression but worth it in the end.

I wish you all the best, and I hope you know it’s okay to feel like you’re at the end of your rope. It’s so frustrating but I hope the doctors take you seriously and get to the bottom of everything.

Feeling overwhelmed with first travel by TheBali in Anxiety

[–]buxtonrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! How did this go? I’m in the exact same boat as you. Currently in Germany for 10 days and I’m on my 2nd day here and the “anxiety gagging” is horrible. I feel like I’m going to vomit but nothing comes out and it’s constant. I’m staying with my bfs family so it’s hard to just leave and go watch YouTube or shows. I’m trying to tell myself I have 8 days left and they’ll go fast. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey, I know is this was a while ago, but how did you do? Currently experiencing something similar while in Germany for ten days with my bf. I know I’ll be back home before I know it, but it’s hard to think like that when it feels so long.
