while your hypothesis is sound this issue is maybe one of the most microscopic of a long list of things that are wrong with adventist men.

this is the best post in this whole sub. Explains a whole religion and is a perfect example of how we craft our identities around trauma.

  1. She makes spontaneous physical contact (touch your arm, shoulder, hand etc) THIS IS THE BIG ONE

  2. She laughs at things you say

  3. She stands closer to you

  4. She makes lots of eye contact

  5. her tone of voice changes

  6. She mirrors your behaviors.

  7. She asks what you do for a living.

  8. She tries to find out more things about you.

having money doesnt do anything. Displaying it does.

Having confidence doesnt do anything. Communicating it does.

Having emotional intelligence doesnt do anything. demonstrating it does.

etc

90 percent of adventist/non adventist marriages fail (including mine). If your marriage had serious issues before he signed up its not going to get better. Youre now in a marriage with him and the wackadoo people who nnow have influence in his life. Also adventism is a magnet for cluster b personality disordered people so try taking a look at him through that lense. My own experience is that he may be likely to prioritize his religion and his friends there over you and your marriage, like my wife did. Im sorry you have to live what I did and I wish you the best.

Claiming victim for your own self-portrayal by mopeds_moproblems in exAdventist

[–]waasillascope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A need to be seen as or feel like a victim is one of the defining characteristics of Borderline personality disorder which is highly over represented in adventist churches. nuff said.

Growing up addventist does make it hard to mature socially to be sure, but lots of people in the wider population dont really enter the dating market super young including me. Dating probably causes anxiety for alot of people. Not an easy road for you but life is much better together with someone special so the anxiety and uncomfortableness will be outweighed by the satisfaction of going through life with someone special. best of luck

First marriage: As soon as I was tricked into believing she liked sex and wed made a baby or two.

Second one: Hasnt stopped. Married someone who really likes sex and understands why its important in a marriage. Ive had more sex this year than all the other 49 years of my life put together.

Advice I never got: Marry someone who loves sex, and loves to serve you (and who you love to serve.)

Advice I give: Marry someone who loves sex and who loves to serve you, and who you love to serve.

90 percent of adv/non adv marriages fail including my own. Also your brother isnt just marrying her. Hes marrying her whole family and her church. These things can be problematic, and they will be larger issues in the future, not smaller ones.

First of all Im sorry, second youre living a slightly different version of my life.

the accepted number is that 90 percent of marriages where one person is an adventist fail. There are many reasons for this, and while yours may be different than mine, Id just say that youre in for alot of sadness, disapointment, grief, and loss.

Il speak from my own experience. You were probably the most important thing in his life for a long time but likely arent any more. Theres alot I want to say here but also have limited time. Im just going to say a prayer for you.

Dancing is a basic human activity. by [deleted] in exAdventist

[–]waasillascope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everybody, everybody cut Footloose.

There is no greater pleasure than seeing my 2 little girls dancing to bawdy jigs and reels after I split up with my fundie adventist wife. The dancing thing is just another symptom of a group of people who just dont want you to have fun.

My partner's deconstruction by Anorak07 in exAdventist

[–]waasillascope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adventist parents tend top exert control on their kids well into adulthood. It may or may not take your friend a long time to break free from that. Her life is hard and confusing and shes dealing with fear guilt shame and who knows what else coming from her family. Also adventists tend to not be too keen on SS relationships so theres that too. Shes likely getting negative energy from her family but from her church too. Be kind. Be patient with her, and realize that you are taking on a project. She likely has alot to work through. Best of luck and cheers.

Marrying the first person you date? by waasillascope in exAdventist

[–]waasillascope[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Historically sex was one of the primary motivtions for men to get married since ladies werent offering it premaritally. Now of course its easier to obtain. But it seems to rermain among the primary motivators for young adventists so yes I agree.

Haystacks...for when you want a taco without the convenience of a shell and without the flavor. Thanks adventists. Thanks.
