    Not weird. Stationery is my thing too. I know someone with about 50 Filofaxes and other planners too...

    Doesn't always have to be weed. Many people use shishas to smoke flavoured tobacco.

    How do I even start to explain??

    *sigh* not the point of this thread at all... I get it, we all have opinions. Some stronger than others and that's okay. It's based on your own experience. My experience of my old church is that the people there, including my husband, are mostly all wonderfully loving people. But they believe...

    How do I even start to explain??

    Yes I think that is how he sees it. Which makes me quite sad really as I don't want to cause him pain. Ever. But I also can't deny how I feel. Counselling tomorrow.

    How do I even start to explain??

    I am able to reassure myself at times. It's very up and down but I am still at the beginning of the path to accepting myself. Mostly I find it helpful to get reassurance from like-minded people. Everyone needs a tribe. . Yes he has said this to me several times. As far as I can tell yes he...

    How do I even start to explain??

    I tried to keep my mouth shut but didn't manage it. Resulted in an argument of him shouting at me that he'll never be okay with anything but monogamy and me shouting at him that he can never take my kids away from me. Not good. We are both struggling to express ourselves so that is what I'm...

    How do I even start to explain??

    Exactly that! But now he's pretending like nothing ever happened and talking about the fact that I chose to be exclusive with him. He's driven me to monogamy by fear of losing my kids. That's just not right is it.

    How do I even start to explain??

    To say that people should be 'open minded' and completely agree with everything I say or believe everything I believe would actually be very narrow-minded of me...!!

    How do I even start to explain??

    I think we have different definitions of the phrase 'open-minded'. I see it as what you just described, not a blind-acceptance of anything and everything, but being open to new things, to take them into consideration, giving time and thought to it - regardless of whether you accept it or view it...

    How do I even start to explain??

    When someone won't even consider a differing viewpoint then yes, I see it as narrow-minded. When it rains judgement down upon you without any discussion of how you feel about anything, I see it as narrow-minded. I never said that everything that Christians believe is wrong. I never expected...

    How do I even start to explain??

    I was mostly referring to Max getting a little bit personal towards Mags. I understand we are all different as I said and we all see things a different way, and I appreciate that massively. But I don't think personal attacks are necessary. Maybe it was just the way I read it. I'm under a lot of...

    How do I even start to explain??

    I'd appreciate less conflict here. Whether leaving religion or leaving monogamy is more stressful is subjective depending on your experience and viewpoint. I know that leaving monogamy is harder for my husband. And I'm not dismissing his feelings whatsoever, or thinking he is wrong for having...

    How do I even start to explain??

    Well, he didn't even give me a chance to explain anything. Anyway, we'll see what happens with counselling next week. Thanks for your viewpoint Max

    A New Life

    That vitamin D could be why you're sick. Taking that amount of vitamin D made me very unwell. Vitamin D supplementation uses up both magnesium and vitamin A and can make you feel pretty terrible. http://gotmag.org/the-vitamin-d-controversy/ The best way to get vit D is cod liver oil because...

    How do I even start to explain??

    I would refuse to take the kids from the only home they've ever known. Money wise, my name is on everything so I'm pretty safe from that point of view. My hope is that he's not as callous as to do anything stupid. All mouth and no action I think.

    How do I even start to explain??

    Like I've said before, with all these changes and revelations I've been going through recently, I expected turbulence. I didn't expect everything to all be happiness and smiles. But what I actually got was controlling behaviour, telling me what to do and who I am allowed to speak to. He doesn't...
