A Mistake on the Peoria.com Forums

OK, in light of recent events, I'm gonna admit I made a big mistake by letting the PDC people in on what was going on with Bridget and me. Whether it was my fault, her fault, our fault, etc, in light of tonight's battle royal, I should have just kept it to myself.

It's too easy to cling to a hint of a lifeline when you're in a desperate situation, and I definitely clung to it, big time.

Who knew that her and I would end up where we are now, not in a "relationship" anymore, but needing each other to get through this period in our lives.

So, I apologize for exposing myself and my deal to people I barely knew, and casting a bad light on her in the process, and creating a situation where anyone would ever think I was deliberately "using" people.

And I apologize to Christi and John, for not being more sensitive to a similar situation, and using it to argue a point that it didn't really relate to.

I would think that by now, enough people would know me better than that.

hey thats life  i understand

Marriage is really difficult and you two still love each other or you would not have been so angry!

It is more important to be best friends in a relationship with respect and trust being a very nurturing effect to the relationship. It is so important to forgive and forget in order to heal.

When your daughters see you showing love to Bridgette, it will make them feel secure. It is very important to the entire family network.

Maybe, you should ease up on each other and not be casually breaking up all the time. It is so much healthier this way!

We're not married, Teach....

And a relationship is not possible.

Having a family is still treated as a marriage regardless of the paperwork. It is amazing how many people say that the only reason they are staying in the marriage is for the children and financial reasons. Many are sleeping in seperate bedrooms but it is still a functioning relationship.

There are people who break up and still date each other for life. Obviously, the attraction is still there. Who knows how that can work?

Yup.. that's the problem Kat... We DO know you. [deleted by mod]

Umm.okay. I was trying to follow this whole thing but by-God I have a life. For the record though, I just need to know, who identifies him/herself a christian between christi and kat? Because it seems to me that Kat admitted his wrong doings and humbly apologized-- a very Christ-like thing to do.

And christi called him an @ssh*le... a very UNChrist-like thing to do... I am so confused by you people. I will say this though, you guys make Jersey look like Mayberry.

I'm from Mayberry too Jersey (somewhat) and some of these folks really confuse me with the amount of anger and rage! Their lives are really out of control. I'm here for the entertainment value. However, the sadness of these people really concerns me at times and I do pray for them to find joy and peace!

why are my posts being cut and/or are missing? what am i doing wrong.

Jersey,

You should really take another look at the scriptures, if a fellow Christian were to do you a wrong, you should tell them what they did and turn the other cheek.
If a non'christian (Kat) should do you wrong, you have two choices, you can either give them back what they have done to you 10 fold, (so they won't do it again) or you can turn it over to God, and I can tell you that the ten fold plan will be less harsh.

But thank you for trying to understand Gods Word, .......-Rog

oh... i didn't realize you held the market on understanding christ.

ouch.. my bad!

you're right,,, christ would call kat an @ssh*le. thanks for the spiritual lesson!!!!

Don't try to follow it Jersey.. it's ugly and not worth your time ether. This board is full of really great people and I'm sure you will feel welcome eventually. Don't worry about me, I don't generally hold a grudge too long but the issues between Kat and I stem from beyond this board. He betrayed a confidence and hurt someone that I may not be able to live with but I do still love and for no other purpose than to further his own agenda of self importance. Today he made a general apology for the board and they deserved that but so far he has not apologized to me. When he does I may be able to overcome the hurt and anger enough to do the Christian thing and forgive him but until then I'm going to stew. I'm sorry you felt pulled into it and ask you to forgive my behavior. It's a bitter pill to swallow to discover a so called friend betrayed a trust. But I'll get over it. I welcome you to the board and later when I get home from work I'm sure I'll be back to normal.

Take care of you.

Christi

Not a prob., if I can help you in any other way feel free to ask..........

Thanks for clarifying that Christi because I was unaware of this turbulence between you two! An apology is very important if someone has done you wrong. At this point, the guilty party should take responsibility for their actions and apologize. Forgiveness is so much easier when the other party is truly sorry!

And not on a public board. I think you know what I mean when I say his attitude needs improvement as he's taken it out on you as well. Personally, I'm just going to take a page out of your book and put him on ignore. I think I've got it out of my system already anyway. I've taken many slams from Kat for my religious beliefs as well as my political beliefs and never said a word until he decided to make it ugly by posting and allowing blogs to be written about me personally. He betrayed my confidence. Some day I'll be able to forgive it but I'll never trust him again. Anyway.. thanks for your understanding.

Yours,

C

Jersey, I'm thinking this is not the best instance for you to meet the members of this forum. So try not to judge us so harshly. Rog is generally a wonderful person and being the big lovable teddy bear he is, he has his dander up because Kat's been a thorn in the side of a lot of people around here for quite a while now. Trust me.. it takes a LOT to get me riled up. That came to a head last night. Rog is just being defensive because that's the kind of person he is. I can only recommend you avoid Kat/Christi topics as they are not likely to be good material. I do promise you I won't be goaded into anymore as of this moment. When I do get my apology from Kat I'll forgive him. But so far I don't feel he's done that.

Take gentle care of you.

Yours,

Christi
