You've come to a good place! You are here to broaden your horizons, open your mind, and to learn and explore !

Im glad you have made this move. The poeple who stay your friends after youve left are your true friends.

I became angry and then abandoned them. And it felt good, and it is right for me.

Theres a brilliant group who meet in Leiden, Ive been to 2 meets - http://www.meetup.com/Open-Relationships-A-discussion-group/

I would suggest you start with a look around in the "golden nuggets" part of the forum here. And two books will help. (maybe read with your Husband) - The Ethical Slut Sex at Dawn

Youve come to the right place !

*hugs*

yes you are right, it will need some resolve on your part. I dont think they deserve an explanation other than - " I am going in a new direction, and will be stepping down from my duties as xyz. I think I would prefer to stop now / I will be stopping in xyz days/weeks to give time for a...

well, why do the leaders need to know? (unless you are scheduled for stuff, I guess its polite to let people know you are stopping with that) You have a choice to go or not go. Just dont go? Im a people pleaser too, but when they insisted I pay them before my credit card debt, was the day...

My boy has seen me crying far too often in the last three years and is full of cuddles when I do.

As for talking about your reasoning, I would suggest you get a copy of " the God Delusion" , by Richard Dawkins. Yes he is a bit sharp in his attack on religion sometimes, but his reasoning is solid, and will give you confidence to construct a good argument when your congregation tries to talk...

Interesting. I've just been to Australia and was chatting to my sister in law , who was a strong Christian, and has given up too. The day she was ok with not knowing what happens when we die, that was the day the church lost their hold on her. Churches use the unknown of what happens after...

I wonder what's the latest!

Having a great holiday here in Australia with family too. I am sad though, at times. I really want to come back with my lost love and show her whats here, and meet my family here. O well....

I am sooooo encouraged by your responses !! I am on holiday here in Australia and my sister in law has been through a Christian upbringing, many decades of church going , to thinking for herself.,she said her biggest moment came the day she accepted that we just don't know what happens when we...

I think you are going through what I went through with the church. You are beginning to think FOR YOURSELF, and it is very good, except that it is the enemy of any church. Some posters in this thread have articulated very gracefully, the process and the pain and the learning and growing and...

Been through many of those corporate training courses where you are expected to put people in boxes, - I think putting people IN boxes dilutes their value and you start expecting them to behave like they should because they are in that box. ?

I can't even post mine here, some are illegal !

The job situation is getting sorted. I sign a new contract soon, on a better daily rate, which means I will overcome the unpaid invoices within a year. My lost love did contact me briefly. A few "how are you" messages. I can't decide if it's made me feel better or worse now though. The countr...
