Fiscus105: Text him instead, how much people are telling you, his actions towards you ,(not liking u) and that ur husband has been angry about it.
That's enough signal for him, dnt go to him personally pls.
If you go physically, it may be avenue for two of u to melt finally, you may not able to frown at him to scare him away since you too crushing, if you are smiling wen telling him ur mind, he may use the avenue to twist your brain, allay ur fear, promise you heaven and earth, with twinkle of eye! Pant will drop in ur ass. But could it be that I might be wrong about him crushing on me given all his actions towards me? For me to text him, then I have to be very sure he feels something for me.... If he doesn't , it will make me feel stupid at the end... |

Fiscus105: Uhmmmmmmm. I biliv ur husband is not an understanding man, and may God help him in journey of marriage, if rev crushing on u and u not crushing on him back viz a viz, it would have easier alot to quench but since two of u crushing, I biliv it will need intervention of God,for things not to happen now or latter, except if rev is transferred or u leave the church for now.
I'm hoping for his transfer, as he's spent 2 years aiidy... Even before all this happened, I've always told my husband to stop going to this said church(won't mention it's name) and go to another branch nearer to our house but he won't oblige my request, maybe due to his connections there , the positions he holds and the relationship he's built with people over time, even the years he's spent there, so I expect you understand with me when I say he won't leave the church, even though I have to be opened about the situation to him, he may ask me to stop going but he'll keep going, and given that it's a very big church, with me being a member of the choir, people will ask questions, what reasons do we give? This is really a very sensitive issue, I sincerely don't know how to handle it.. But from the look of things, this man won't make the first move, neither will I, he'll keep doing what he does while I do mine...
With time we both will be fine....
If Adeboye of redeemed could ask his spiritual son to sack a female secretary that his son was crushing on, the son said, he liked to be going early enough on Monday to office mainly to see his secretary that he would not be able to see for weekend, because he had developed interest in her. How much less u that you can't leave temporarily or tell ur husband.
As it stands now, the passion would continuing to be growing if u continue seeing each other until a day one of u will take bold step to make it reality, by then it would be almost a journey of no return. |

Kobojunkie: There are many possible reasons for what is the infatuation you have towards this man, and so you would have to dig deep into your psyche to really understand why your brain emits these "love" chemicals in his case. 
Anyways, to train your mind so you can ignore these irrational signals your brain sometimes sends you, you first need to have a base idea of what mental discipline is and what it is not.
Like dieting, the key is practice. Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28 says lust is sin. Using this information, you can train your heart to refuse all lust by focusing on redirecting your thoughts to that which pleases God and away from sin when you sense lust in your heart. This takes consistent practice and continuous submission and obedience of the teachings of Jesus Christ in order to achieve. Once you begin to value God over that sin, you will find, over time, it will become easier to sense the lustful feelings approaching and to deflect from them. Eventually, you will reach a point where the approach of such lust causes you irritation as you find you would rather not offend God with it for any reason.  The reasons are not farfetched,right from the time he was posted to the church, I liked him at first sight, He's quite handsome, he handles issues maturedly, speaks coherently, he's from my hometown, more importantly that he notices and calls me amongst my group members. As regards mental discipline, I'll begin to do some research on that... Thanks for your input sir. |

[quote author=Fiscus105 post=111762050][/quote]I think I've figured out how to go about this.
Instead of telling my hubby, I think I might just speak with the pastor directly ,telling him how some of the members of my group have been saying how much he likes me..Maybe that will help him stay away so as not to be seen in bad light by others, or what do you think? |
Family › Re: My Experience As A Married Woman Being Best Friends With A Married Man by AntiMen: 2:19pm On Apr 08, 2022 |
Fiscus105: Let me give you undiluted advice, I will advice you either to stop going to that church for now or you change church permanently, or you tell your husband tactically.
From your story , the pastor himself has been consumed by passion of having relationship with you and that's what he has been consistently displaying by single out you alone when greeting, thank God you urself noticed the signal already.
The only saving grace now is that, he is not quite sure if his message/code/seduction /signal has been decoded by you and if he has been decoded, not too sure if it will be positive, been a pastor, a respected man of God, he wouldn't like to shoot his shot without 100% sure.
If you keep attending the church, a time is coming that the passion would be totally overwhelmed you. I guess you know the consequences. I'm overwhelmed I won't lie, but self control has been my saving grace, yesterday my husband took me to church for a meeting, we met and both of us talked, he was so uncomfortable in front of my husband, I asked him for certain things and I could see he felt something for me, when he looked at my eyes ,he was very shaky...but I understand though.. I also noticed that he exerts self control as regards the issue..,but I'm just praying he can just stop the singling out greetings amongst my other colleagues in church, of which some of them have started noticing that he likes me a lot which I don't want to be subject of discussion among them... As regards telling my husband, I can't ! , I've done something similar, but you know human will always be human.. I'll keep applying the methods I used previously to curtail this.... |

Fiscus105: Madam, not that ur rev interested in ur spiritual activities as u ignorantly believe, but wishes to been seeing you regularly because of passion of feelings burning inside him, I will advice you to open to ur husband and let two of you deliberate on it, though you shouldn't tell him you have started liking him o.
If you can change church and u dnt want to open to ur husband, your journey to ride him is 2/3 achieved already I wish you could understand the situation of things around me.. I've said it before that my husband can't leave the church because of the key position he holds in here, also the issue that my pastor and I will end up sleeping with ourselves is a fallacy, I can't bring myself to doing that shit...I will never hurt my family nor his.. I only need ways to quench this feeling ,I'm having.... Someone adviced that I speak with the reverend to stay away from me, like how would I bring myself to telling him that I'm listing after him so therefore he should stay away, what if the feeling isn't mutual, wouldn't be feel some type of way about me? |
Romance › Re: I'm Crushing Or Liking My Reverend, What Can I Do? by AntiMen(op): 1:38pm On Apr 08, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: First to realize is that everything you sexually desire someone you are not married to, you commit the sin of adultery against God - Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28 - and this applies whether the individual is right in front of you regularly, occasionally, only occasionally or you don't even have any rapport whatsoever with individual. So those advising you that by avoiding the man you prevent the sin lie to you. 
If you indeed want to stop sinning against God, this jn addition to quiting your addiction to the churches of men , their pastors and mogs, you also need to embark on training your mind to obey God as opposed to engaging in sexual lust. Mental maturity aka self-control is the only way to liberate your mental from such sins and the only way is through emotional and mental discpline, which entails training your mind away from the sin and towards obedience.  Nice response, but can you please highlight how to mentally and emotionally train my mind in that regard.... I don't picture this man and I sleeping with ourselves..I just grew fond of him simply because of the way he recognises me in the presence of people, somebody adviced me that I talk to him to stay away from him prolly that will help my feelings a bit, but I have to be careful because this man may not feel same way about me and he might start having a negative view about me... But I'm trying to take my mind off him though...God help me. |

chioma134: This post was triggered by an earlier post I saw where the poster was having long talks with his friend's wife. I've been in a similar situation. I changed location and had to be separate from my family due to work. I was lonely and needed a friend. I talk with my husband regularly, but his interests are not my interests, so I find that besides household and family matters, we have little else to talk about. I found myself talking to this guy I met when I went for an official assignment. We started as friends, but we became attracted to each other. So when I travelled back to base, we started these long conversations. We're both born-again Christians and both married, so we kept to certain boundaries. I enjoyed conversing with him more than with my spouse. I became consumed with thoughts of him. He also expressed his desire and attraction towards me, but we laughed over it as jokes.
My husband noticed the conversations when I travelled home and became suspicious. He forbade me from speaking with him. He had never seen me have long talks with any friend, talkless of a male one. I informed my friend and he said no problem, he would wait till I travelled back to work base before he would continue. He later travelled to meet his family and conversation became scanty. I realized how much I was addicted to him when I couldn't talk to him as much as I wanted. He returned to base and we continued like before.
I started praying for God to help me overcome these desires. Maybe he also felt the same, because for some reasons I don't know, he reduced the frequency of calls and chats drastically. I didn't try to find out why, just thought the time-off would help me clear out immoral thoughts. But I got hurt when he acted indifferent on one occasion when I felt he should have shown more care. I asked him about it and he pretended not to understand what I was talking about. I read the writing on the wall, and decided to play along. So I said "bye. It was nice meeting you." Part of me was grateful it ended, another part was wishing I could still be with him. I love my husband and children, I cannot come and scatter my home.
He thought I was joking. I was no longer responding to his chats, and when I did, only with monosyllables. He became hurt and accused me of going silent on him. I told him he started it. He wanted me to become defensive, but the Holy Spirit whispered "keep quiet ". So I allowed him rant without saying anything. I thank God I didn't, because I would have exposed how deep my true feelings for him were.
Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine". My feelings have healed and I thank God we didn't continue because I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from an affair if we had eventually had any physical contact. I can categorically say I'm no longer in love with him.
I penned these down for those struggling with similar situations. Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings. I understand you perfectly well.. As I speak with you, I'm in the same shoes you were in. I've tried everything I can to stop this feeling but the harder I try ,the more difficult it is for me to stop... I recently started growing fond of my pastor, he expects me to have attained a level of spirituality which I'm not interested in, so whenever he sees me in church he would remind me to come for activities that would aid my spiritual life but I ain't interested in all that shit, seeing that I didn't bulge, each time I'm in church , whether I'm close or far away from him, he always ensure he calls my name or greets me, I could be having conversations with two of my friends,he will call only my name and pass to show he's greeting me ..Sometimes I feel embarrassed for my friends cos I believe he's supposed to greet all of us and not just me... So because of these actions I began to grow fond of him...I won't lie sometimes I steal glances at him in church and our eyes meet, but I always shrug it off.. I don't really discuss anything confidential with him, and our talks have always been in the front of others...there's nothing more to all of that asides the unusual feeling I'm having... Recently ,my child was heal and I took her to him for prayers, he was very welcoming and prayed for her... Now the issue is I'm still fond of him and having butterflies in my Tommy for him.... We don't chat often but each time we see in church, we just must connect some kind of way. |

Uprightness100: Definitely! It will backfire on the EU sanctions and will give Putin and Russia the upper hand. But this is what I see happening in the coming days/ months.
I see a Scenario where Most of EU and others go do Israel's Gas tho not directly from Israel. As of yesterday, I heard Egypt is now going to buy Much of Israel has and would sell to Europe.
I Believe in times to come this will anger Russia/Putin and will make him to make a move towards Israel. Which is the Ezekiel 38& 39 GogMagog War.
I Believe, Israel gas and resources is the Hook GOD ALMIGHTY will use to hook Russia down to Israel. Because what we are witnessing happening to Ukraine is quite similar to what will happen to Israel.
The same manner you the Nations do to Ukraine is the same that will happen to Israel. No one will help Israel. They will be almost annihilated but the GOD of Israel will Come down and Crush all the Collation of Nations. High on crack as always. |

immortalcrown: To be demisexual or sapiosexual is both good and bad. It is good because it discourages sex with random people. It is bad because not every intelligent close friend will reciprocate the feeling properly and you are not supposed to have sexual intercourse with every intelligent close friend.
But every human has one habit or the other to battle with. May God help you overcome the temptation. Amen. |

immortalcrown: Your two responses give me the impression that you are open-minded. Your responses suggest you sincerely seek advice. I like your manner of approach. I am really sorry for my first two comments about you. Please, forgive me. Now, let me try to advise you.
Avoid intimate conversations with him. By intimate, I do not mean lustful discussions. I mean confidential matters. Curtail your physical interaction with him, especially when there is no third party present, to avoid losing control and kissing him.
If possible, let your discussion with him be in the presence of either his wife or your husband. This can help wither the feeling. Also, do ponder on his faults as a man. Thinking about his imperfection can help suppress the feeling.
One question: Are you demisexual? Let me begin with your last question...Yes I am .. Then about having intimate conversations with him, actually I don't. Maybe I should tell you how this started, I've stated it before but I will again, He expects me to have attained a level of spirituality which I'm not interested in, so whenever he sees me in church he would remind me to come for activities that would aid my spiritual life but I ain't interested in all that shit, seeing that I didn't bulge, each time I'm in church , whether I'm close or far away from him, he always ensure he calls my name or greets me, I could be having conversations with two of my friends,he will call only my name and pass to show he's greeting me ..Sometimes I feel embarrassed for my friends cos I believe he's supposed to greet all of us and not just me...

I don't really discuss anything confidential with him, and our talks have always been in the front of others...there's nothing more to all of that asides the unusual feeling I'm having... Recently, we had a chat about an issue that concerns someone else in church and I gave my opinion about the matter, after our conversation ,we said the usual good nights and I want to use the normal hands emoticon to indicate goodnight, mistakenly (God's my witness) I pressed the lips emoticon after goodnight, it was so embarrasing.
