I'm not quite sure what the second comment was all about... or even what the point is. Thanks for your honesty and your insight on such an important topic. I'm sure your ability to be honest has made your marraige all the stronger. Your last paragraph holds so much truth for so many students. I hope God's plans for your future include mentoring young women who are going through the same situations as you did. I feel they could learn a lot from you.<br /> <br /> Thanks again, I really enjoyed the article. Sarah,

I have been out of it for 8 months now, and I have accepted Christ since then. When I look back on it, I remember thinking, I don't want to do this, but I know if I don't, then he will get bored and want to break up. And that was my biggest fear. And you know what? We DID break up. But not over that. We broke up for a totally seperate reason. If I had really thought about it then, I would have seen that I could just have easily have broken up with him over all of the stuff I was being pushed to do, and it wouldn't have hurt nearly as bad as it did the other way around!! Looking back now, I wish then I had the courage and the smarts to see what would have been a really brave and smart thing to do. Just listen to your inside. It knows what it's doing. Don't listen to what your lovestruck head, butterfly filled stomach, sweaty palms,or weak kneed shaky voice has to say, listen to what your Christ filled Heart and your Christ led spirit have to say. That's when you make to most brave, smart, Christ-like decisions. I was once in a relationship much like yours. I have been out of it for 8 months now, and I have accepted Christ since then.

God does forgive us no doubt but I sense [ course it is easy picking you apart ] in your heart of hearts you do not personally realize that as time passes these memories will fade and your mind will be firmly planted on your husband and the child [ ren ] you will have.

Your a good wife so let the memories just pass through your mind with a '' yes I do not do that anymore''.

Throw the pill away and have children lots of children your are the mother type as you will discuss anything with your children.

You give good advice now take some and have some babies.
Regards,
