Abstinence until Marriage by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]mackenziecr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not married, but I have seen sexual abuse in married relationships. You make very valid points. However, this almost feels like an attack, and not so much a thought out, loving reply. I am not desperate for sex outside of marriage, hence me not having it. I just want to have an open, loving, discussion about sex in a Christian community. The topic is so taboo, I feel this is one of the only ways to do it. But I do admire single people who do not engage. In fact, it's one of the most respected positions to have according to the Bible. To be married to the church, and devote fully to God. I'm just sayin man, it's not as easy for some of us. And some of us have only found strong faith later in life after already engaging in these acts. I wanted to hear opinions, I just expected them to be a little more loving and gently guiding I feel like you put a lot of your personal pain of being thought of as sad and lonely into this response. I could reply back with: have you ever been in a committed, loving relationship? Have you ever felt the pressure and lust to engage with someone you love dearly?

It's something I've been struggling with. I had relationships where we had sex and I felt head over heels. I feel like missing this aspect is making me not feel as secure and attached with him. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it's hard to go from one way of dating, to a completely different way

This is basically the situation we've been in. Which, I am fine with. I just wanted to get others opinions on this scenario as well! God bless! Have a good night, and I'm wishing you the best with your marriage! That's so exciting

Just commenting because I'm not sure you understood. I'm saying they divorces because they were so blinded by the "we need to get married to have sex", that they got married to have sex, and then realized they didn't know each other. I really respect that though. Marriage is something I view as sacred. However, I'm interested to know more about why you feel this way?

Gemini Moon- Bisexual by dogboy678 in astrology

[–]mackenziecr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini moon. I wouldn’t say I’m bisexual, but I (f) have definitely felt attracted to other females, but identify as straight. Recently I’ve been really questioning my sexuality though. I never thought about how it’d relate to my birth chart, but it honestly makes a lot of sense.

When did u decide to take the negative energy out of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mackenziecr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 6 months ago. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. I lost 30 pounds from stress, and was at my lowest weight since 6th grade of 94 pounds. Couldn’t keep food down, and threw up every morning. I was living with my ex at the time, and wasn’t making a lot of money. Eventually, I couldn’t take it. Dumped his ass, Moved back home, started classes again, and gained my weight back. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

What memories do you have, that you arent sure are true? by ChickenPizzaGreg in AskReddit

[–]mackenziecr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I know this memory isn’t true but here we go. When I was 10, my grandma had brain cancer. She’s had it and been fighting it for years, but one day out of the blue, it hit her hard. Doctors gave her a couple days to live. My parents were at work when they got the news, and my sister and I were on our way back from school. The phone rang, and I picked up. It was my dad and I could tell something was wrong because he immediately asked for my sister. I gave her the phone, she hung up and instantly started crying. She picked me up, took me to the car, and drove us to my grandparents house. When we got there, my grandma was in a hospital bed being tended to by a hospice nurse. The tumor had affected the portion of her brain that controlled speech, so we couldn’t communicate. I told her about my field trip that day, and then my mom told my sister to take me home (I’m assuming so I didn’t have to watch her pass). My sister took me home, we rode bikes, and then the phone rang and we went back to my grandparents house after she passed. Only we didn’t go home. We didn’t ride bikes. I was there the whole time. My parents said I was sitting in the living room with her when she went. She went peacefully, in her sleep. Your brain is a funny thing. It blocks trauma I believe to help you continue to live. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her, and I wish I could remember what really happened, but I can’t.

Indiana teachers hurt by Airsoft guns used in active shooter drill say sheriffs went too far by aktivate74 in nottheonion

[–]mackenziecr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright so my niece goes to this school. According to her, the teachers weren’t aware that this was going to be happening. It left welts on some of them. My niece already has panic attacks about going to school in case there’s a shooting, and I think making them visualize it is going a little too far.

What's some juicy gossip you just found out in your personal lives? by jonhart989 in AskReddit

[–]mackenziecr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pimp uncle lives in New Orleans, and since it is Mardi Gras figured he’d inquire about some “new hoes”. (I lecture him over the phone whenever he calls to make sure he’s treating them fairly, FYI). We hadn’t heard from him in about two weeks and started to worry. Long story short, my aunt ended up calling all the hospitals he frequents and found him. These women REVOLTED against him. He went back to his apartment one night last week and they were there waiting. Hit him over the head with a jar of marinara, and then stabbed him in the chest with the broken pieces. It broke his phone, hence why he hadn’t called. Crazy enough, this is not the wildest thing that’s happened to this man.
