I had a sexual relationship with a guy and I ended up pregnant. My pregnancy was difficult as I suffered from high blood pressure. I begged God to have mercy on my baby, but he lived only twelve hours and had breathing problems and high blood pressure. I had placed all my faith in God, and in spite of it God took my baby. Is it wrong to ask God why He took away my [...]
Case 166
My case is just like all the others of stupid men who... commit adultery. When my son was only five months old, I had a sexual encounter with a woman from work and she ended up pregnant. My wife threw me out of the house, but after a little while I went back. She then told me that she couldn’t forgive me, and... in the past few months the arguments have gotten more verbally violent.... [...]

Case 162
My husband is an engineer; I barely, and working hard at it, only finished three years at the university, so I never graduated in my field. He is now studying toward a graduate degree, and sometimes makes fun of me because I am not at his academic level. He thinks I am ignorant and that, compared to him, I don’t amount to much.... He uses his position to put down those who didn’t have the [...]

Case 160
I have an eight-year-old daughter. I never lived with her father.... I still love him, and that is why I have always told him that I want to live with him, but I am aware that he doesn’t love me and he has no desire to live together. That’s why I’ve never required anything of him. He is an engineer, and works for a very prestigious firm and earns plenty of money. He looks [...]
