Case 606
I am a follower of Christ, but I married someone with different religious beliefs. We have been married for five years and have a daughter. My husband is an alcoholic.... A year ago, he had a car accident in which a cousin of his died, and we are involved in a lawsuit brought by the boy’s mother. I have had to take all the financial responsibility for the accident. I see my husband getting more [...]
Case 605
I met a girl, we started dating, and she became my girlfriend. After about a year, I realized that my feelings had changed toward her, so I told her that I didn’t love her and that we should break up. But she refused, and I gave in because I didn’t want to see her suffer either. Two years have gone by like this and I’m still not in love with her, but I haven’t been [...]
Case 604
I am a thirty-two-year-old woman, and I have been in a very bad relationship for four years. I am a sex worker, and the man I live with allows it. He has taken my money many times. He manipulates me, insults me... and has hit me. I am so codependent that I have even gotten on my knees and begged him not to leave me.... Several times he has told me that he wants to [...]
Case 603
I have sinned. I have touched my eleven-year-old daughter’s body in an inappropriate manner. I feel very sorry and I don’t want to do it again, but I feel like a slave to my desires and I don’t know how to stop. I need help because my mind even fixates on having intimate relations with her. I have considered turning myself in to the police so my daughter will not be harmed, and have even [...]
Case 602
Recently my husband discovered that our eleven-year-old daughter has seen pornographic images on the Internet. When we asked her about it, she said that her friends were talking about it, so she was curious and searched for it online. We had already talked to her about the changes in her body and that kind of thing, and we think that we have given her the confidence to talk to us about that subject. We have [...]
Case 601
While my wife was in the hospital, I looked through her phone and found photos of her cousin that she loved when she was a teenager. I asked her about it, and she said that it was nothing.... I lost trust, so I started spying on her. I downloaded an app on her phone to monitor her calls. She then warned him that I was watching her, and not to contact her until she managed [...]
Case 600
I live with a man who is much older than I am. We have been together for several years, but he doesn’t want to marry me. When I bring up the subject, he says, “No!” very emphatically. Dear Friend, Thank you for telling us your story. We believe that there are many women in your same situation who don’t know what to do. We don’t know whether or not you have children, but we are [...]
Case 599
I am thirty-eight and have never married, but I have three children with two different women: with the first woman, a fifteen-year-old daughter, and with the current woman, two children who are six and eight years old. I get along better with the first woman than with the second. Deep down inside I’m afraid I know that the second woman is not good for me. I stay with her because of the children. But I [...]
Case 598
After fourteen years of marriage, I met an older man and I was very attracted to him. We had an affair that lasted almost three months, until my husband found out what was going on.... More than two months have passed since the day that my husband found out. You can’t imagine how sorry I am about all of this.... I want to save my marriage until God decides that it’s over, but I feel [...]
