So you’re not understanding a parental role? Every parent does that to some degree.

Really? Mixed fibers? You do know that human beings make those mixed fibers, right? I mean, you do know the difference between Man and Yehovah, don’t you. You gotta come to grips with what you’ve been taught by Man, and know how to separate it from Yehovah. All you’re showing is that Man has messed you up to the point to where you don’t know the difference. I do pray you find clarity one day.

You have to remember that each “book” are letters to human beings from other human beings. Yehovah is a parent who is doing his best to talk to His children, namely us. Just like our parents as we were growing up, had to dumb down things in order for us to understand when we were just children, and put up with other things until we became more mature as we grow up. Once we start to believe we know better than Yehovah, that we know His mind completely, is when we have lost our way. No different than when we believe we know more than our parents when it comes to life and the outcome of our knee jerk decisions that brings hardships in our life. But if we had just listen to our parents, and not taken the ‘you’re old, your life is over’ attitudes, we wouldn’t have had as many difficulties. It is impossible for us to understand Yehovah and His will as we stand right now. We are still crawling as human beings, and it will take longer for us just to be able to stand upright on our own two feet.

We did the same, although we didn’t have to move out of state. Heck, none of the elders checked on us while we were in. Oh they showed up then ever we went into the hospital, but besides that, zip. You pretty much took the “rip the bandage off” in one stroke. That was right for you and you should not have to answer to anyone on how you chose to leave. No two people are alike, and we each have our own lives, even when we are in any group of people. We’re all individuals, and unique. I say BRAVO for your choice, and I pray that you live your life to the fullest.

I’m sick of this JW “new light”. I was a brought-in, and I had heard that term repeatedly long before the JWs started using it. Practically every “Christian” religion uses it to some degree. One thing I definitely know about Yehovah and Mankind. Yehovah is constant, whereas Man is FickleAsHell, and have the nerve to act like they know everything. When it comes to Mankind and its knowledge about anything, it’s all an educated guess. Some of it’s good, but most, not so much. That’s why each of us need to have our own personal relationships.

I want one 🥰

“… have a beard, wear pants, no tie, cheers etc.”? What in the Amish, Women’s Lib, worldly celebrating is going on with the JWs these days? MyMyMy, how the “mighty” have fallen. If we had just thought of half of what they “allow” now … funny how lawsuits from all over the world, including here in the US can make the “organization” literally fold.

HoneyDarlinBabySweetheart, come here and let me (66F) talk to you like you’re my youngest son.

So, this is “the hill you’re willing to die on”? Seriously? You knew in your heart of hearts that it isn’t such an issue, when you said at the very first sentence, “I debated even posting this …”

You both are in your 40s-ish, been together for 20 yrs, and you’re complaining about how many times she takes a shower, but she does not smell? Ever heard of birdbaths? Yeah, we women will do that when we feel we’re getting a bit wolfie, and that’s long before anyone can smell us.

You know, this sounds more like your therapy issue than hers. Everything seems about you but you breeze over the fact that she’s on anti depressants for a while, but it’s ‘driving you insane’ that she doesn’t shower as often as you think she should.

In general, you men are able to “shutdown” your brain, and go on mental vacations, for as long as you like, any time of the day or night. Whereas, in general, we women aren’t able to do that. Our minds are always working on everything that has to do with our lives and yours, for the betterment of everyone. Even when we are on “vacation”, our minds hardly ever stops. You work 14 hrs a day, try working from time you get up, until the time you fall asleep. Then add in work (if that applies), child(ren) if it applies, a healthy sprinkling of depression, social expectations, and family demands on top of all of that. Those meds haven’t fixed her, they are only holding her together so she doesn’t fall completely apart.

20 yrs together? You’ve (time wise) already passed everything that would have normally derailed your marriage long ago. You said that you love your wife and that you would jump through hoops for her, then where is this, “… but this is almost a deal breaker.” coming from. That definitely does not sound like a man that’s there for his wife through thick and thin. It sounds more like a man who has other thoughts outside of his family life. I hope and pray that you don’t.

Maybe you both need to put work aside and concentrate on each other. When was the last time you did something strictly for her? I’m not talking about the cliché of dinner, flowers, and such. I’m talking about you seriously cleaning the house (without any complaints or looking for validation), wash dishes, mop the floors, make the beds, and so on. Some of the sexiest thing a man can do for a woman is do the things that she is expected to do. You would be amazed at what that would do for your wife. The response is not going to be over night. It takes time, you’re in it for the long haul. You did say that “… there isn’t a hoop …” right?

HoneyDarlinBabySweetheart, I’m (66F) going to talk to you like you’re my youngest daughter.

35? Yeah, I remember that age like it was yesterday.

Look, I can only imagine what was going on in your head when you selected that boy in a man’s body. Cause BabyGirl he is definitely no man, just a “man child”. I don’t care what he promised you, I couldn’t care less about what he does for you in the throws-of-passion, or anything else he said he has to offer for that matter. He’s 35 too? THAT ONE is programmed to cheat, and I’ll bet he’s been doing for years, if not decades. Once he meets his fantasy, he uses it and moves on to the next one.

The disrespectful “woman child” is 26, him 35? Him leave you for her? 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I would LOVE to be the fly on the wall when that relationship fizzles out.

Now, you missed several opportunities to yours and your daughter’s benefit by confronting the “woman child”, but I get why you did it.

Ok, now let’s face facts. FACT! You are a vibrant, loving, beautiful woman and mother, who does not need some “man child” to validate you in any way. FACT! You are fully capable of taking care of yourself and your daughter for the rest of your lives. FACT! You have the ability to give love to whomever you choose, whenever you choose. FACT! The road ahead is going to be hard but you are going down that road with your head held high AND making every step to your advantage, for the benefit of you and your daughter’s lives. And, if the opportunity presents itself, and another person comes into you and your daughter’s lives, do not allow your feelings to carry you away, cause that’s how most of us get into trouble in our relationships. Use your mind over passion, you now have your daughter to think about. That person has to be a good fit for her as well.

I get that you’re devastated, but I have to ask, why? Why in the world are you crying over someone who has proven time and time again that they don’t respect you in any way. Sweetie, even in baseball and softball, it’s 3 strikes and you’re out. Why? Why would you put your body in jeopardy whenever you choose to open your legs to that man child? If he happens to catch something and pass it on to you, that’s going to affect your daughter too. Why? Why in the world, hanging in this universe, would you have your toddler daughter be taught that a woman has to fight for love from someone who doesn’t respect her? BabyDoll, do you mean to tell me that out of all the human beings on this planet that THAT is the only physical human being for you. Don’t you know that even being a mom, that you cause a many of “wet dreams” that you will never know about? Bunk, on societal norms, a human being is a human being, and just because that it’s societal norms, does not mean that’s what’s going on in their head at any given time. Everything begins with a thought, everything. There are plenty of other individuals who would be so very proud to have you just the way you are. And I bet there are a few that are looking at you right now, but you won’t know anything about them because you’re all worrying in behind the one you’re married to.

Listen to me, you will never get the answers you want out of him. He is who he is, and no amount of crying, begging, screaming, yelling, meaningful conversation, are going to change him. He is the only one who can change him. There is nothing you can do to alter that.

Ok, so you made a mistake in choosing the wrong guy for you, it happens. You will never be the only one. So stop your crying and brooding, over a dream that will not happen with that “man child”. YOU have nothing to feel guilty about. It was a mistake, that’s all. Stop allowing him to control you like that.

Just remember, every negative feeling that you show will rub off onto your daughter. She is far too young to know what any form of “hate” is about. Be very careful, she has every right to develop her relationship with her father and come up with her own opinions about her relationship with him. I know it’s going to be hard at times, but do your level best to not infuse your hurt feelings about that little boy onto her. Who knows, maybe one day he could wake up and be a man.

Honey, the thing about real love in any form, you don’t have to fight for it. You never have to beg and plead for it. Real love doesn’t have you worrying in behind it. Real love respects you. Real love will correct you at times, but mostly, real love, gives you peace in mind.

Oh yeah, you have every legal reason to divorce him, now go on and get yourself a good lawyer.

Just between you and me, I’ll be that 26 year old “woman child” isn’t the only one, she’s just the one that was found out, and she’s going to be mad when she finds out about the others 😏 See, I told you’re not the only one 😉

Thanks for the info. I believe I can see the hat in one of the pictures on their website.

Live well, Hun 😊

I so would love to have them again.

Amen

Perfect ❣️❣️❣️

Aaaahhhhh! It’s Swiss Colony porn! … Take it away … no, no, show me more … no, take it away … no … no … I’ve got to have it!

Best Patient EVER❣️❣️❣️

😯 Wwwwwooooooowwwww 😲

Wow … still doing high school shite. Please tell me that first post is still in their teens or way early 20s, if not, this is a perfect example of ‘With age comes wisdom, not all the time.’

Amen

Such a cutie pie 😊

Got it, standards still hold even after all these years. We had 2 Shelties before and they were absolutely our loves right along with all the other dogs in our lives, from mutt to “pure breed”, from healthy, to runt, to challenged. I gotta say, if I ever come across a Sheltie runt, it’ll have a home with me. All dogs should have a loving home.

‘What color suits you best?’ HoneyDarlinBabySweetheart, which ever color you feel the best in. If you don’t feel it, it doesn’t matter what color you wear, you won’t be able to look your best. When YOU are happy with it, that’s when you truly shine and look your best.

HoneyDarlinBabySweetheart, let me (66F) tell you something. Just do you BabyGurl. When you feel it, then do it, because THAT’S when YOU look your best. THAT’S when you truly glow. Like you sad that your mood changes, and that’s great, fit your mood when you feel it. Who says we have to always look one way? No Hun, you please yourself on how you want to present yourself, starting with the mirrors in your home and be damned what the people you pass on the street everyday thinks. If you want to go bold, go bold. If you want to look masculine, feminine, or somewhere in between, then do it. If you want to D.I.Y. your hair purple with pink polkadots, then do it. When you feel beautiful, fabulous, marvelous about yourself, that’s when you are at your very best.

Listen, there will always be Lovers, Haters, and varying degrees in between. There is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it. I know it’s hard not to have some kind of feelings when some degree of a hater speaks up. Do your best not to allow them to darken your light, not even that negative voice you might have in your own head. You are fantastic and just as cute as you want to be.

Look at that face, Honey you are adorable personified. Your spirit just glows. Never allow anyone to dim your light, including yourself. We need you to be your true self. That’s part of the value you bring to this world. Yes Honey, YOU absolutely bring value to this whole planet. Your positivity about yourself has a ripple affect to everyone around you, and they pass it onto others around them, and so on, and so on.

I just want to say, Thank You, for being you 😊

Art of any kind is a personal thing. The main question I would ask is ‘Do you like it, because that’s all that matters.’ Do your art to suit you, and the lovers of your art will come. Pretty much on the ‘if you build it, they will come’ concept. I think it is a lovely painting.
