Case 810

Repentance|

I met a man... and over the next days and months a relationship developed.... One day he confessed to me that he was in the process of getting a divorce. He said that he loved me, but that he needed some time. As the days passed, everything changed. I started having mental and psychological struggles. Someone told me that I should get help from psychics, so I did. I gave them personal information and they [...]

Case 809

Adoption of Children|

I have not been able to get pregnant, even though that is my deepest longing. Sometimes I cry [in frustration], and other times I believe that God can [give me a child].... I’ve often wanted to tell my husband to leave me and find another woman who can give him a child[, as did Sarah, the wife of Abraham, who was the father of all Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Sarah gave Abraham a son, Ishmael, [...]

Case 808

Death / Grief|

A little over two years ago my two eldest daughters and I took my ninety-plus-year-old grandmother back to her house in another state. I was driving that day when a truck plowed into the back of my car, crushing my two princesses and my grandmother. I was hospitalized for more than a month of physical therapy. How could this happen, leaving me with such an intolerable level of pain in my soul? Is God just? [...]

Case 807

Anger|

For fifteen years I have been married to a man who is respectful, responsible, cultured, a hard worker, faithful, and for the past five years a good father. However, in spite of the fact that he says he loves me, he hasn’t shown support when I’ve need it the most. He has never been very expressive.... But what bothers me the most is that, when he gets really angry, he begins to break things. He [...]

Case 806

Jealousy / Envy, Romantic Relationships/Courtship (Uncertainty/Doubt)|

I asked my girlfriend to marry me, and she said yes.... We have had a wonderful relationship and we love each other. However, one time she did something that I don’t think is normal. I noticed that she kept looking at another guy. We’ve talked about it and I’ve told her that if she’s attracted to him, I can go away, but she says I’m the only one that she loves and she doesn’t want [...]

Case 805

Responsibilities of children|

My parents got divorced when I was nine years old. Since then, there has been no peace in my life. My father, who is twenty years older than my mother, goes from woman to woman, and he brings them with him when he is permitted to visit me at home.... My mother has been in a relationship that began even before the divorce... but she leaves me alone in our family’s house, if you can [...]

Case 804

In-laws, Marriage (Conflicts/Insults)|

My wife had to move to another area because of her job. She told me to come with her to take care of our children, and that she would take care of the household expenses.... But my mother-in-law had to come and live with us for medical reasons.... and ever since she moved in, things have changed.... She started contributing to household expenses along with my wife, so they looked down on me and began [...]

Case 803

Singleness / Solitude|

I am a thirty-six-year-old woman who feels totally empty and forgotten. It is embarrassing to admit that at my age I have never had a romantic relationship. I have never been kissed, and I feel guilty about that. I think that if I had been a person who enjoys going out, dancing, [and having a good time], I would be telling a different story. I have been on a few dates, but [I ended up [...]

Case 802

Cohabitation|

For the past eight months I’ve been in a romantic relationship with a married woman who is in the process of getting a divorce and has a nine-year-old daughter.... From the beginning we had a sexual relationship. I knew it was wrong, but we kept on doing it anyway. It was all secret. A week ago, she broke up with me. She had looked over my social media communication and saw things that she didn’t [...]
