“I’m afraid of him” Trump Card
“I’m afraid of him,” she–aka cheater–says. This like a blank check that a female cheater can cash in at anytime for sympathy and support from pastors and therapists alike. Most do not bother to ask any followup questions as to why she is claiming such fear. If they do, they might get: “I’m afraid, because he … Continue reading ““I’m afraid of him” Trump Card”
“Model” Faithful Spouse

I put “repenting” in scare quotes because certain parts of that statement come across as reluctant as opposed to eager repentance.
