I did reach out to the leader and there is another couple going but we were told to see if we can't just book a separate room, which will cost more than what everyone else is paying. Also, she is uncomfortable with sleeping with another guy in the room because she has low confidence of her looks.

I...as some of you may know I was abused as a child; sexually and domestically. It pains me to write this but I really at my wit's end. I didn't think I'd ever say that, but I feel empty inside...dead. Let me go back in time... It's December of 2016 and my wife and I are part of a college group...

He needs to go seek help. You ARE NOT his saving grace. You can't keep him together only he can.

That must be difficult to deal with. I may not know exactly what you are going through but I am here for you. Take it one day at a time. You got over your past PTSD, you can get over this.

I am no counselor by any means, but it sounds like you guys don't communicate at all. Communicate effectively that is. You seem like there is a lot of anger and gnashing back and forth. I'd start by communicating with "I..." statements with a calm voice and then bring up the idea of couples...

Well, I definitely was not expecting a full blown out war to start. I simply wanted some clarification and guidance. This saddens me deeply.

Has anybody else out there had flashbacks in dreams? Last Thursday I went to sleep during my break from work and I had a nightmare that involved a kid from work and I had a flashback to the trauma from what was happening in the dream. I could literally feel my body being restricted and I was...

I have accepted it as me. Just like I have accepted me as bi, that I am short, or that I look like a teen even though I'm 22. It is a part of me. It is what makes me, me. I just keep my head up as best as I can and try to be optimistic about it.

It is hard but we have to know that we are not alone and that we have to keep speaking up. Our voice will be heard. Unfortunately, the problem is that society doesn't want to think about it, talk about it, or help. For years people have been put down or made fun of because they had a mental...

A new coffee shop opened up and they run off of donations, so I bought what normally would be $3 coffee and paid $20. I was feeling generous and the store owners, employee, and fellow people were just so nice and happy to have a conversation with me.

Just keep working on yourself. Unfortunately there is this hinderance from your family but I'm sure there is something you can do that you'll still enjoy. If you ever need to vent just hit me up with a conversation. I try to get on everyday.

I can totally relate and I concur; we are in the same boat. I spent my Thanksgiving at work and my family is doing Thanksgiving today but yet again I'm at work. I just feel like I'm sinking deeper and deeper into isolation which is kinda scary because my college group from church is having a...

I have felt like a total Scrooge for a couple days now. I just don't care about anything that used to interest me anymore. For instance, I used to love reading what people were thankful for on Facebook, but this morning I just scrolled past them all without a second look. Does anybody else feel...

Being shunned by your family is absolutely awful. I'm sorry that you had to go through that and are reminded of that on or around Thanksgiving.

I think is the problem. I am trying to put a fixed label on me and trying to find something that specifically describes me. Oh what society has done...

Sorry I had to take a mini break for Thanksgiving and breathe. You guys do help me sort out a lot of stuff but sometimes I just need a breather. Um yes we are talking about a more conservative christianity here with closed marriages but I'm not saying I will shun any LGBT because well *coughes*...

I don't see it as accusing. You are just trying to clarify. Yes I do understand that and I wouldn't ever cheat on my wife ever. As far as I see it, no one can give me what she does which is more than just love and sex, she supports me, keeps me away from things that would potentially do me harm...

My dad puts me down all the time. It is more indirect but the pain and hurt is still there. Like I have stated earlier he doesn't know that's why I said indirect. He may think he is joking but to me it is more of a personal attack.

I made sure to tell my wife once I was comfortable enough to talk about it well before the road to engagement/marriage started. I wanted her to know everything that she was getting into.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having this struggle at registering emotions but so glad that you made a giant leap in your 8 year journey. That's really awesome but at the same time saddening because no one wants to be fearful. Keep up the good work.

I am attracted to girls as well. More so than guys but there is no denying the attraction to guys.

Thank you. I really needed to hear that right now.

Both. External and internal conflict had made it difficult for me to accept that this is who I am. All throughout 7th, 8th grade through high school people continuously accused me of being gay and that I only dated girls because I was trying to prove something. So when I realized that I in fact...

Sending you hugs.

@EveHarrington Put it well. You see in my family either you are either straight or you are going against your faith. My dad would probably disown me if he knew I dated a guy. No one knows about it except some close friends and my wife.
