Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Just wanted to post this here since I have no one else to vent to. Just broke up with my girlfriend on new years eve. Don't wanna get into details but I found out some things she did recently that are just really downright dishonest and she isn't being up front with me. She has some deep mental issues that I've been trying to help her with but she doesn't want my help, and tonight what I found out just pushed me over the edge and I realized she's been basically using me to enable her bad habits. I told her I wouldn't do it anymore and she blew up at me acting like I was attacking her.
I would ask some frens to pray for her because I can't get through to wake her up.
Best thing to do is to separate yourself from her as quickly as you can. If not, she will destroy you as well. Sometimes the best thing you can do for you both is to get away. Let God take care of it. Go live your life and look forward not backward.
You've helped her all you could. You've planted the seed. God will do the rest for whatever plan He has for her life's journey.
It's time for you to shake the dust off your boots and move on. Plant seeds somewhere else. Pray to God to send you your soulmate to spend your days with and become fruitful.
My prayers - look at it as a blessing, it may have saved you years of grief and tears. Mental illness gets hard to live with when the person refuses to acknowledge the problem or do anything to resolve it. Speaking from personal experience.
Aww sorry to hear brother. We can talk later today if you are down.
God will give you guidance and strength through these difficult times. Happy New Year and God bless
