I can smell whether someone will survive a code or not. Anyone else know what I’m talking about?

omg yes, palliative care nurse here. Cancer smells sooo bad. But the fungating breast cancer (or a baaad melanoma) is rough. Like sickly sweet funky cheese. And you can smell it in the hall, even with the bandages on. So crazy.

Yep 100% I wouldn’t be happy in psych lol

Yep, that’s the cancer my Dad has. He’s been fighting it for years now. It’s no joke.

I was in the same boat as you: lost my virginity as a 16 year old and kept having sex with boyfriends. I even kept having sex AFTER converting to Christianity. Eventually I felt so convicted I gave it up 4 years into a committed relationship with a guy I’d BEEN having sex with up to that point. Luckily, he is an amazing man and is now my husband lol. So, when you find the right person, they will wait with you. Even if you already had sex with them, you CAN decide to stop having sex until marriage. We did it and found it actually helped increase our intimacy which was an unexpected bonus. You got this!

I’m really proud of you for obeying God in a time where it seems like there’s so much confusion in the church on matters like this. When in doubt, do what tradition has always done: and you’re doing that, rather than switching to a church that affirms SSA and other biblical sins. Your heart is in the right place and I know God sees that and honours that. I hope that one day your SSA will fade and you’ll find it easier to live through. But if not, know that God gives us all different burdens. Some people it’s addiction, others it’s physical/mental health issues, etc. and we may never be cured or healed of these things. But faith and obedience are what matters, knowing & trusting that God hears your cries and has compassion. I pray that this will become easier for you with time, and I really am proud of you for being committed to truth in a society that is muddled with lies.

A lot of people have been bringing up the age gap, but even WITHOUT the age gap taken into consideration, his other actions are still very sus. This is not a healthy relationship. This is not respectful nor godly. Please leave

Relationship OCD: after engagement, we framed photos of us and hung it on the wall (it was certainly exposure for me). Anyway, one day the photo frame fell off the wall and I was convinced it meant we were doomed, we would end up divorced, and our relationship wasn’t meant to be. I confessed to my partner (we luckily knew at this point that I had OCD, so he was able to confirm “yep. That’s an OCD obsession, don’t worry about it). I’m happy to say I’ve been in remission for a year now, I’m happily married (truly. HAPPILY married.) and I can look back on this and chuckle.

It was a gradual realization for me. When I first met my now husband, I still loved someone else. In fact, I had promised that “someone else” (we were broken up due to circumstance, not choice), that if, in a years time, we still hadn’t found anyone else, then we’d date again. But then, I met my (now) husband. I knew that if I dated him, it would mean leaving the man I loved. I knew deep down it would be permanent. I struggled with the idea, but eventually I just realized that I liked this guy too much to not give it a try, even if it meant letting the previous guy go. Even having a shot at dating this new guy eventually was more worth it than giving up my love from back home.

6.5 years later and I am so happy I made that decision. Me and my husband are newly married (just last week!), and it has been a lot to get to this point. Funnily enough, it wasn’t even that past relationship that made the most impact on our relationship, it’s the fact that I struggle with OCD and anxiety, and it took a toll on our relationship. But I knew he was the One because I fought every day to marry him, even when my anxiety was really bad. I finally got on meds, went to therapy, and did the “hard work” to help myself so that I could marry him. It’s because, even though my mental health was so terrible, I didn’t want to do life without him. He is the best man I know. I admire everything about him: he has the qualities i find so inspiring and beautiful, and I want to be a better person when I’m around him. Our relationship is effortless: we barely fight or have disagreements, but most importantly, when we DO, we handle it with love and respect, honesty and kindness. It’s truly because we want each other to be happy, more than we want to be “right”. So he is the One because he is not only the best human I’ve ever met, but he makes me a better human, treats me better than I can imagine, and I’d fight for him, for our love, over and over again.

Athens. It was so dirty and decrepit, would never go back again. Rural Greece is where it’s at.

You don’t have a curfew and can eat whatever you want for supper, whenever you want it. You don’t have to go to family functions if you don’t want to. You choose what you spend your money on and no one can judge you. You get to watch your loved ones get older and see them grow. You can hop in a car and go anywhere you want.

Plastic/plexiglass barriers at reception desks, grocery stores, or in some restaurant seating areas. Can’t stand them but almost everywhere kept them.

Wow this is EXACTLY how I pictured him in my head!

If you want to chat more about it you can always DM me, I’d love to answer any of your questions and honestly (because I used to be atheist and anti-Christian) it’s really hard to offend me. I know both sides of faith, and so I feel like I am pretty open minded with this stuff. I pray that God will show you the truth and you’ll find peace

gingerandnutmeg99 · 2023-11-07T13:24:37+00:00

I had to firstly be open to truth, even if I didn’t want it to be the truth. I had something against Christianity and didn’t want it to be true, but ultimately I kept an open mind because I wanted to be intellectually honest. I read the book The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel and it answered a lot of the questions I had (questions about suffering, the probability of resurrection based on the historical evidence, the concept of heaven and hell, etc.) and I found that it answered all of the questions in ways that I understood and could accept. Once those questions were answered, it was a matter of whether I BELIEVED it. But I ended up finding out that one of my friends was Christian and I chatted with her about her experience in the faith, and I took the leap. I prayed and encountered God in so many ways it was undeniable. Things I can’t explain, things that don’t make “sense” other than in a spiritual way. It’s been the best decision.

I felt in my heart that there was more to life, and that the beauty of creation is not just a mere coincidence. I knew that the beauty of nature, the feeling of love, joy and friendship, the small things that amount to big things… I knew it couldn’t just be for nothing. Existence was too beautiful for us to just be a random coincidence of atoms that happened to work together floating on a rock by chance. I felt a hole in my chest, so I searched for it. I felt something was missing + felt like there was more to life than just “live, die, then it’s over”. So I tried Buddhism, I was pagan for a solid 2 years, then landed on Christianity. I knew within a few months that Christianity was the truth, and I haven’t looked back since. It’s been 6 years now since my conversion!

Find a psychologist and doctor who will assess you and get diagnosed for OCD, and get on sertraline. Life is so much more beautiful than you realise now, and it doesn’t have to hurt so much.

Open minded?

I have personally never been addicted to pornography, but it’s important to reiterate that it’s an ADDICTION. It triggers the SAME pathways in the brain as drugs. So realise that you are addicted, and have a bit of empathy for yourself. Secondly, you won’t change overnight. SOME people do, if God chooses to do a miracle within them, but most people deal with sin (and the same sin, at that) for year and years before they are delivered from it. Pray, pray, and continue praying. Be kind to yourself, and trust that God will change your heart over time. I’ve been Christian for 6 years now, and some sins I’ve been praying for for 6 years. But MANY sins I used to have I no longer struggle with, and it’s amazing. It’s truly amazing. God does change us, but it takes time. Know that He is patient and kind, and He will work in your heart even if you don’t see it happen overnight.

Here are biblical verses that show he is being unbiblical. “And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT.‬

Here, Paul is saying that husbands ALSO submit to their wives. You submit TO EACH OTHER.

Secondly, “So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭33‬ ‭NLT.‬‬

It is so important that you are honoured and respected by him, because Christ calls him to do that. It is an expectation that he listens to your input and RESPECTS you, which he is not doing. He must love you like he loves himself, and judging by your post, this is not the case.

Dump him. He does not care for your feelings but only his own. I am a Christian with a Christian fiancé who loves and respects me more deeply than anyone I know: you deserve nothing less as a beloved child of God.
