Case 730
I am thirty-eight years old and I just ended a romantic relationship that lasted almost a year without having a child. I wanted to have at least one child who would bring me happiness, and to do everything in my power to give that child everything that a child needs.... Thankfully I have a job that makes it possible for me to live comfortably. But I haven’t lost hope of finding a woman who [...]
Case 729
I need help because I don’t know how to find God again. I have always known about God, but due to various situations that have happened in my life, I have gone my own way. I feel that I have lost my spirituality. I pray and don’t feel what I used to feel. It’s like I’m not connecting with God. Before it was very easy, and I was filled with peace. But now it’s like [...]
Case 728
My wife is very vain. I don’t like the way she’s always posting photos of herself on social media. Obviously, she gets a lot of “likes” from male friends of hers, and I really don’t know what to do. Can you give me some advice? Dear Friend, It sounds like you think that your wife is seeking attention from other men. You don’t like it that she seems to need admiration for her physical appearance. [...]
Case 727
Nine months ago I met a woman online.... We had virtual sex. She confessed to a spiritual leader, and then blocked me. I am devastated for the harm that I caused her and her parents. I want to go to her country and ask for forgiveness. I have already asked God to forgive me.... I know how serious my error was, and I cry a lot because of the damage I did. I love [...]
Case 726
I have had arguments with the father of my daughter because I haven’t been able to forgive him for doubting, when I was pregnant, that he was the biological father of my child. Now he has started seeing our daughter again, but... even though everything is all right, those memories plague me day after day. I cry, and sometimes I can’t sleep. It all comes back to me as if it were yesterday. I feel [...]
Case 725
I have been married for twenty-seven years.... Ten years ago, my husband was unfaithful, and I forgave him. He seemed like a good Christian, a good father and husband, until he was unfaithful again. Now my two teenage kids and I kicked him out of the house... and he left without even saying that he was sorry.... What would you advise me to do? ... I don’t have the nerve to show up at [...]
Case 724
I waited until I was forty years old to get married, but I’m almost certain that I made a mistake.... These almost six years of marriage have been tempestuous. I am unhappy and there is no peace in our home.... We have each verbally abused the other.... We can’t agree on anything because we always end up arguing. Dear Friend, By the time you were forty, you were likely settled as a single person, having [...]
Case 723
I am twenty-four years old, and I live with my parents. I have deep sadness in my heart because of my mother.... She got very angry because I didn’t become a doctor, and she compares me with my younger sister, who was able to finish her degree program before I did. I have fallen into depression because of not making my mother happy with my career or my life. I try to always speak [...]
Case 722
My boyfriend and I have been together for five years, but sometimes I feel like I’m not meeting his expectations. He always talks about what he is interested in, and we always do what he wants to do.... Sometimes I feel like he is still with me only because he has gotten used to it. And there are times when I tell him what I think about something, and he tells me to accept him [...]
