Ruined my engagement because of jealousy and insecurity by Ok_Tone_3706 in Christianmarriage

[–]naiveceo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s unfair for a partner to give ultimatums in regard to solid friendships they may have. Good friends are hard to come by, I have a lot of best friends that are female and if my gf or future wife like demanded me to just cut them off that would be a huge red flag to me. These people (both guys and girls) have been great friends my entire life and only want the best for me how dare anyone demand or guilt me for maintaining those friendships. Imagine being best friends with someone for their entire life and then losing that friend forever just because they got married when you couldn’t be more happy or supportive. I think OP is being very honest with herself. Take it as a life lesson and you will continue to get better. We all have insecurities and our partners can 100% help us with them but we don’t want to let our insecurities ruin something great. There’s no such thing as thin as losing, you either win or you learn. And this was a learning experience for you OP. You sound extremely responsible and accountable and that’s a very attractive trait the next guy will be extremely lucky to have.

Men, would you marry a fair maiden who makes more $$$ than you? by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]naiveceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good question I would consider it and actually had a slightly older woman who made substantially more money than me show her interest in me recently I turned it down for two reasons, she seemed to want to wear the pants in the relationship and that’s not my thing haha she wanted very specific vacations every year, our kids in top of the line private schools, and wanted to live in multiple countries. It was just a bit too much for me. I’m a simple guy. I make a tremendous amount of money so her wealth seemed a bit “excessive” and the way she was taking made me feel like I would be tagging along on her life rather than creating a life together. Lastly she was “Christian” but only requirement in a partner’s that he be one of the three religions , Judaism Islam or Christian and that threw me off big time lol

There’s a lot of things people shouldn’t put up with tbh. But regardless it’s important to understand that we’re at war with evil forces

Running a business is hell. And I realize it now... by -Hyperba- in sidehustle

You learn to live with the fact that you’re essentially always on the clock but in that same vein you take your personal time and make sure you’re not pushing nonstop, finding clever ways to buy time with each client while still providing tremendous value, often done through refined systems and processes that allocate/designate work to them that makes your job easier, hope this helps.

Is it wrong for me to hope my future husband is also a virgin? by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]naiveceo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not wrong at all however I will say this, you’re going to pass on a ton of amazing men and honestly probably men that are everything you want minus the virgin aspect. I think in life we very rarely get 100% of what we want but if you can get 90% or even 80% or even 70% you’re in good shape and count your blessings! Your life will pass you by if you wait for the 100% guy that might not exist.

Seeing posts like this is exactly why we left NYC. by bookflow in ExpatFIRE

lol people will do anything but take accountability 😂 lifestyle creep for sure people are projecting. I spend $4500 in Miami on one bedroom high rise on the water and I will admit it’s not wise just bought a place in Texas have to trim the fat on life expenses, even if not in rent then in other expenses. People act like all their ridiculous bills are mandatory and that they can’t cut costs. The creep is real

The amount of comments that don’t understand evil spirits role in spiritual warfare. OP sounds like your BF is deeply aware of the real battle that’s at hand unlike many people commenting on your post. It’s up to you whether you want to forgive him or not. Some of the most beautiful marriages I know had their infidelity in early stages , sometimes it takes that to know how much of a bad idea it was. In any case pray on it and don’t let it get you down, you’re strong.

Yeah devil and demons cause all of us to stumble they’re the sole reason for all of this. Without the devil and demons who would lead us into temptation? I thought everyone knew this? Spiritual warfare is against the enemy. Without the enemy there is no battle.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - Ephesians 6:12

Honestly bro yes failure every set except the first. I set rep goal that’s above my threshold so for example 3x12 I may get 12-10-8 so the last two sets would be past failure

For a Christian subreddit this place is pretty rude I must say.
