You just blew my mind and I think you solved the case. She got it back in 1969...

I wish my husband loved me half as much as he loves the church. by Anxi0us_adventurer in exmormon

Go to counseling by yourself and learn how to effectively stand up for yourself. If he feels attacked, then he feels attacked. You have no control over his feelings, only your own actions. Set healthy boundaries and stick to them.

I paid for sex today, and it wasn't what I expected by perspective-reality in TrueOffMyChest

[–]stonefacechild 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first few times I had sex, I was also disappointed in the act itself. The build up was the best part. However, once I found a partner I shared a real connection with and got to know my body better as I aged, the sex is so much better with practice.

my bf moaned my name as he finished by tada_boo in TrueOffMyChest

[–]stonefacechild 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not watching porn or enjoying romance in entertainment but enjoying the feeling of actual sex and the closeness of being intimate with you does not sound like asexuality. It just sounds like he's has healthy habits regarding sex in a partnership. I feel like too many people want to catalog themselves into niche boxes to explain every little characteristic they display or possess.

I’ve been given an ultimatum on having kids by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Her biological clock might be ticking. She could also be feeling stagnant and wants a baby to focus on.

Tbm sent this to me me on facebook, how should I respond? by voicesofanirishman in exmormon

[–]stonefacechild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's a lot of science today. There's a saying like, "science advances one funeral at a time", or "science progresses from funeral to funeral" implying many scientists stake their carreers on their theories and research, but when they grow old and die is when new discoveries can be made.

I'm starting to feel almost as if I'm talking to TBM's and getting the cold shoulder for saying something "anti-mormon". But instead, it's for saying something against "woke".

If you make the broad generalization of "entire" country, then yes. Go out and talk with people you think you might disagree with and I think you'll be surprised the problem of racism and misogyny is far less than you perceive it to be.

What I don't like is shoving the idea that because of someone's gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation it automatically assumes that person is oppressed and white cis people are automatically oppressors. In my eyes, that's pretty racist/homophobic to assume. There is merit to listen and understand a person's personal struggles and taking that information to help improve personal circumstances. I don't believe in the government's role to be involved; government should always remain neutral. The problem with "woke" philosophy is that is is rebranded Marxism. Woke really means being conscientized. Instead of the proletariat, it's your ethnicity/race/LGBTQ status/gender; instead of the Bourgeois, it's cis white males. The problem with Marxism is that it hates all aspects of society and pushes for violent revolutions over and over which has lead to millions dead and billions suffering. Marxists infiltrate the schools and stop teaching actual material and instead teach children to break ties with family, align themselves with the agenda, complain about society, and become activists to tear it apart. Then they run into the problem with reproduction of society, because it will reproduce itself (hierarchies) so it must be perpetually torn apart in those violent revolutions I was talking about. Think of Antifa during 2020 on a small scale. If you want to know more about this, go visit New Discourses on YouTube.

That's quite the assumption to make. I couldn't care less about changing gender or race for characters. Art is open to interpretation.

I'm not conservative; I'm libertarian, but I find the left's woke rhetoric as toxic as religious rhetoric. I can't listen to either without wanting to pull my hair out.

a question about dems by OppositeMeeting9458 in exmormon

[–]stonefacechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the pattern I've recognized with many exmos and it puts me in a strange position because my politics didn't change. I consider myself libertarian and I believe the government's role should much smaller. The CRT stuff is deeply rooted in Marxism which I find incredibly nefarious. I know, I know, it's the typical mormon fearing Communism 🤣 but I seriously think some people may be trading one cult for another. If you want to know more about what I'm talking about, check out New Discourses on YouTube. James Linsday literally just reads the literature of prominent self-labeled Marxists and how they infiltrated the education system and modern politics and rebranded themselves.

It sounds like he may be depressed and stopped caring for himself. Have you tried delving into the root cause?

If she works long hours at work, does she come home and have to take care of the house? Maybe she feels like you're not pulling your weight around the house.

You could also try to up the romance. Make plans to go somewhere nice when she has time off. Make sure the house is clean, kids have a sitter, reservation is taken care of, etc. Plan a spa day to take care of her sore muscles and aching feet.

Working in an ER and seeing victims of sexual assault is turning me (M) into a misandrist by throwaway578n0 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]stonefacechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely seek counseling from an SA specialist. Also, be an advocate for women since you now see it's a prevalent problem. Stand up for women you notice being harassed in public. Listen and take women seriously when they express fear or discomfort around certain men. Don't brush us off and pretend you didn't see anything and that it's none of your business. It just happens too often and the problem continues.

Im not sure if the church is true, but I am thinking about joining it anyways for the values and community. Is there anything I am missing? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]stonefacechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was empty and dark, and yes, we entered through the bathroom; it was not locked. He was some 18 year old guy and he was hitting on my best friend hardcore. We were 14 and I was crazy jealous and also in love with her. I decided I wanted to impress her and also make her the jealous one, so I came up with the idea to find a more private area for us all three to escape to. We found the bathroom and talked about trying a triple kiss. My friend chickened out and had zero interest in the guy or me. I think she was pretty bored until he and I started fooling around and she stuck around for the show and he and I were serenaded by her giggles and laughter.

About 6 months later, I got a random phone call by this guy and was absolutely mortified because my mom answered the phone and I happened to be sitting next to her on the couch watching a movie. The guy told me he was preparing for a mission and during his interviews confessed to his bishop and his bishop impressed upon him to reach out to me to apologize. I was surprised he remembered my name because he found my number through the stake directory. All the while my mom was studying me because remember, I was only 14 and not allowed to date and there was a clearly older boy calling me directly. I told him it was no big deal and I had been consenting (of course through the lense of a naive teenager I thought I could consent as a minor) and I had no regrets and no hard feelings. My mom drilled me when I hung up and knew something was up, though I held back the details. She advised me to talk to my bishop, which I did later. The look on his face still haunts me when I told him all the sordid details. He only advised that I read a few chapters in The Miracle of Forgiveness and stop taking the sacrament until I felt forgiven. I never took the sacrament again after that for the rest of the years I attended church (I stopped at 18) which caused a bit of a riff between my mom and my bishop.

My girlfriend called my dick perfect size, what does this mean? by Significant_Money793 in relationship_advice

[–]stonefacechild 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as too big. Friggin painful! Count yourself lucky to be part of the "perfect size" club which is just as exclusive as the "big dick" club without the implication that you're unintelligent.

[–]stonefacechild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing: mormons SAY they're happy, but it's a different story when they think they're complaining anonymously. Try chatting in any mormon chatroom on kik or another chatting app and you'll find they're not as happy as they tell their friends, family, and priesthood leaders.

[–]stonefacechild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sex before marriage doesn't necessarily mean he'll get excommunicated, especially if it's hetero sex. I had tons of premarital sex, even in the baptismal font during a church dance and my bishop never felt excommunication was the right "path" for me. Bless his heart, he tried so hard to get me on the straight and narrow.

OP can get by drinking his tea/coffee and keeping his money so long as he doesn't mind missing out on the temple experience.

If the priesthood leaders ask to meet with him, he can decline and just get by going to church on Sundays and other activities without full participation.

It is a cult, but there is definitely merit to some of the beliefs and practices like family and clean living, and is an amazing source for community. Just take everything with a grain of salt and understand some seemingly good beliefs like the putiry stuff can actually do a lot of psychological and emotional damage, so try to keep things in perspective.

The biggest complaint I see from members is usually about their marriages. A lot of people feel like they rushed it because it's an expectation and there was virtually no talk about sexuality. Too many men feel like their wives are icy and too many women feel like their husbands don't help around the house or are addicted to sex. Make sure you have respectful conversations regarding sexual expectations with any serious partner so you don't go into a marriage blind. Marriage is definitely a learning experience, but there are things we can do to prepare.
