Marvin, Marvin, Marvin -- Are you trying so hard to be straight because you really believe gay is wrong or because you are afraid of being hurt again like you were with Stuart?
Hi Marvin,
I'm sorry you feel that way about your ex. I understand that it's painful to see him again, but he must have been surprised to get such an angry reaction from you.
Maybe if you hadn't been looking for demons everywhere, you, him and your mum might have spent a nice afternoon together. Does being a Christian mean you're not allowed to have a good time with people who you know, and who know you, and who obviously care about you in some way?
Here's me praying that you will learn to let go of your demons, superstitions and fear, and learn to just live your life as you were meant to.
Love,
Willie
Oh, Marvin... I know what it's like to be easily riled up by contact with my ex, Brian. The relationship had been intense, and so was the friendship (at first) afterward, and not always in good ways.
The friendship bore fruit, though. He was there for me in some very crucial moments, and I was able to minister to him in some of his struggles and remained part of his family.
I was heartbroken when he died (44 is too young). I know it's not possible or healthy for a lot of folks to be friends after breaking up, but I was richly blessed by working through my anger at Brian, learning to stop de-humanizing him, and being a friend while I had the chance.
Whatever happens, I'm sure you know what's best for you. I just wish you peace, my friend...
Marvin...
It's good to catch up with your little war, although I have a bizarre hunch that rebuking your mother may have been taking it a little over the top. I like what nillo said about figuring out why you feel so strongly about your SSA's. Perhaps it's time to sit down and take a deep, honest look at the real reason behind your zealousness.
