Will it work out for me? Any advice for me?

by asilentone in

i met a woman some time back who i consider as a friend.

i see her from time to time, no, i have never dated her.

she does not look too bad.

its been a long time coming but i kinda think im finally at the point of no return....... right or wrong, i have spoken to my 'friends' about my new feelings and the fact i no longer believe that this is gods chosen people etc etc... and have already been told that if i was to now celebrate my childs birthdays , her 'truth' friends would not be able to come to sleep again and associate with her... (she is 7).

this is despite the fact they are allowed to play with there non witness friends who live down the road....why??

the explanation is that their daughter would perhaps feel it is ok to do this when it is not... i ask why could they not just simply explain it is not our family's belief anymore (as my husband is with me on my decision), and my response is that it would be difficult to do that as we once were witnesses and now are not so it would confuse her daughter and make her think its ok to do these things now... .

yup once youve told her youre not compatible she'll see that as a challenge and change all her incompatible ways to make herself more apealing,

cant go wrong with that one.

I have kinda prayed that God would show me what he wants me to do..

well maybe if you look at it from another angle maybe you got the answer just not in the way you expected?

do you want your childrens social life and treatment held to ransom based on what you do or dont believe?

if you like the idea of god and praying then it neednt depend on a religion or a publishing company to tell you how and to who,

if there is an all seeing all dancing god up there then its getting prayers popped from a lot of places into one big inbox.

as for your kids, theyre young, as others have said they'll adjust (probably faster than you will especially if you dont waver back and forth cos then it would just mess with their heads) have a bowling night with some school friends or something that will break the ice and show theyre up for invitations and friends round.

if your husband is happy to leave with you, thats a bonus cos you won't be on your own.
