Little story I wanted to share. I’ve never been close to one of my siblings and haven’t put effort to change that. Eg., never initiated conversations. In the past few years I’ve felt convicted to try to be more loving. I didn’t feel I liked her, but recognized my responsibility by being cold, even though it was subconscious and not quite intentional. So anyway, I’ve been trying, with much prayer. Recently she reached out asking me for something major and I started to feel bitter. *Continued

Since she mostly only reaches out when she needs something. But because of the commitment I made to try, and because what she wanted was important (for her son) but out of reach, I begrudgingly complied. Well, today I was able to get everything she wanted for free! It was pure coincidence and extremely unlikely but it worked out. And I think this is God taking care of me and my relationship with her. I’m so grateful! Tearing up as I type this! 🥲

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?

Why do most of the men keep their relationship secret and not even disclosing to friends. "We need to be cautious and safe",thats what he says. I mean is this relationship or corona virus.. Besides its almost 2 years relationship now. Especially guys (28-29 unmarried) please explain your philosophy
