boyfriend losing interest in me

The Bible says you cannot worship 2 gods. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or love the one and hate the other. I have found this to be true in my life. If I worship the god of money, there is no fun in my life because everything costs money. If I have fun in my life, I can still have enough money to make it. Fun for me consists of a loving family, good food, and a few hobbies. I can have all of that if I don't worship money. If I worship money, it is suddenly more important than my fun, and my fun disappears. You can't have fun and worship money.

When I was a child, I had food, water, and shelter. Those were about the only things I had. My dad was a carpenter, so our toy trucks were scrap blocks of wood. Empty thread spools were a staple in our toy bucket. I developed a very vivid imagination thanks to those toys, which I still have with me today. If we would have had piles of money coming out of our ass when we took a shit, we would not have had nearly as much fun as we did growing up poor. Unfortunately my daughters have not had that treasured experience, but they still seem to have a vivid imagination because we made them read books instead of watching television. We are not rich in material possessions, but we are very wealthy people.

So far as the OP goes, you are just better off waiting to have sex until you are married. A man will never buy a cow if he can get free milk. And any man worth having as a husband will be willing to wait for you until the marriage. This is where the problem comes in after marriage. If a man is willing to screw around before marriage, he will do the same thing after marriage.

 

So true!

 

VERY nice comparison there ..... I bet it dates back to the times when fathers would trade their daughters for cows.

Which was probably around the time the bible was assembled.

 

This is fucking stupid. It wasn't even funny. Maybe a different sense of humour?

 

This thread is an absolute mess.

 

It doesn't exactly sound like humor to me .....

 

Then why post in it? Lots of people, lots of opinions .... :sunny:

 

Well I just finished reading the last few posts and I'm really glad it picked up. It was going downhill, but finished with some really nice posts (on page 4) I'm happy again.

 

What do you mean 'dates back'? Arranged marriages with dowrys are still commonplace among many religious cultures. The only difference being that the dowry is cash, which is no more, in re4ality, than an IOU for a cow, or a goat, etc.

 

"Dates back" means that these practices are so old that (in my point of view) they should have been abandoned a long time ago. I do know they are still commonplace in various cultures. That doesn't make them any less medieval.
