How to be patient?

(To slow to beat the 5 minute edit. One last time...then I need some tea.)

Dear @HopeinHim98,

Sorry I was tired when I posted last night and did not proofread until this morning. Gotta clarify...
The last statement refers to the first statement in response to yours about courtship. I went back to reread it now 5:57AM and it appears like I was referring to the compromised pastors who don't teach about divorce and remarriage. That's not what I was referencing (divorce/remarriage), because neither of us were ever married. We went through a courtships, not marriage( nor w/each other). I just wanted to clarify that because there are people who try to hide that they were previously married from others. Note Luke 16:18. They even get caught with pictures of wedding bands in their own photos and still lie and deny it. That's very low. That's not you. I can tell you would never lie about that. I just wanted to state that properly to maintain your good reputation. That's such a big issue I think it was best to make it clear.

No I wasn't married. But I was engaged and planning a wedding. I didn't read all the posts very well last night anyway but I don't think I would've taken it that way. Thanks for clarifying that.

That's pretty crazy someone would hide that they were married. That would be a huge secret to keep, not to mention lie to maintain. Reminds me of Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre.

I’m really glad you mentioned courtship.

As someone who has no interest in dating, courtship is much more appealing to me.

While most people know what is meant by dating, not as many are familiar with courtship.

If you’re willing to share, what did the process entail?

Even though it’s painful, I’m glad you shared that the courtship didn’t end in marriage.

It seems that you had some misgivings even before starting the plan.

As the courtship unfolded, did the safeguards inherent therein reveal the problem(s) that lead to the termination of the association?

I think many people can benefit from your story and the insights you gained.

Perhaps you can even start a thread on the topic.

I would definitely be willing to share. Not sure how to go about posting a thread on it... cuz I made a lot of mistakes in my courtship and obviously it didn't succeed...and yes the breakup was extremely painful but I don't want a pity party... but maybe I'll try.

I haven't read that but lol sounds like a good page turner. 📙😄👍

I was talking about the occasional divorcee that poses as a single. I've met guys who actually brag about their many children fathered and left for a new woman. Also those who try to keep a previous marriage hidden from the single gals in the group.
