    Hello! Yesterday, as I was with the man I am dating, he was frustrated with me. He told me that it seemed that everything I said to him was argumentative.

    Sexual intrusive thoughts about others while in a relationship

    Hey, I've been heavily addicted to porn for 7-8 years, especially BDSM. In January, I told my girlfriend everything (including that I had been chatting with other men as their slave and sent them some stuff about myself). We've been fighting together, and I've been porn-free since then. Until...

    Is it a sin to knowingly put oneself in a tempting situation when a less tempting option is available?

    * I think Catholicism considers this a sin, but I'm not Catholic so I'd like to avoid discussions with that filter. * My boyfriend and I are taking a trip. Our options for sleeping arrangements are 2 separate hotel rooms (more expensive) or an Air BnB, which is where we'd rent an apartment with...

    Dealbreaker?

    Hi everyone, For the last few months my boyfriend and I have had on and off conversation about internet piracy. I'm of the stance that it's stealing, it's immoral, and we as Christians shouldn't do it. He used to be of the mindset that piracy wasn't stealing and was therefore okay. However...

    Physical affection in dating

    I posted this in Requests for Christian advice but I wanted to also post in a relationship advice forum too. I know the age old question of "how far is too far" isn't the question to be asking, but rather more like, "how can I honor God in this relationship?" And I tell you what, I am...

    OCD destroying a relationship

    Saturday night my boyfriend told me that the affection he feels for me had been dulled, and it's because I constantly bring up problem after problem, and it's wearing him down and stressing him out. I asked if he wants to fix it, and he said it's hard to want to fix it with the affection being...
