Who inflamed you? Your just reacting in the flesh and you have others supporting you in that. Maybe someone needs to give you a little pablum and burp you before you get indigestion again and have another tantrum. But that is what we expect from those that are babes in Christ and have to live on milk all the time because they have never grown up.

Okay, that was a little harsh and uncalled for! I happen to know CanadaNZ is a very godly man, perhaps he is simply reacting out of frustration... and bear in mind, you have no idea what he has been through in his personal life either, and perhaps this topic is quite pertinant for him too! Food for thought.
However, if you cannot agree to disagree without lowering one another and questioning peoples faith, please refrain from commenting at all.
His faith is not in question, just his reaction and if he is in a bad place and living in the frustration of his flesh then he has the cross where he can go and get crucified in his experience. He might be a godly man but not this time, so there's some meat for you to chew on. My hope and prayer for you is this, that you and your husband be reconciled to God and to one another, whatever that might take in the plan of God for both of you. When I first read your post and learned of your separation I was inwardly broken and grieved. You may not believe that but it's true.

Thank you. Reconcilliation is sadly not an option though, hence my whole complicated situation and the pain that goes with it.
You have to understand, I'm trying to remain objective here. I'm not offended by anyones opinion, and everyone has a right to their own opinion, but I do think we should be mindful of others, especially when we dont know the intricate details of their situation.
That being said, as a Moderator, I do have duty of care to step in when I see a thread getting a bit personal unneccesarily. So, just asking everyone to please be careful of the comments you make to others. I did feel as though the comment you made about 'being a baby Christian and needing milk' .. or whatever, was borderline a personal attack, and very uncalled for/

Its America, you can normally smile back without guys following you to your hotel room. If you were in Germany or Italy, I would say keep walking and not smile back because it would send the wrong message. I found that out the hard way. If you are ever in Italy ask the young men or just women for directions, the older ones tend to get creepy. Personally I just smile at everyone and be friendly, eventually they figure out I'm not interested by the clueless look (or now shocked or repulsed look) on my face when they try and ask me out. lol.
thoughtless perhaps but I personally think we should treat all other Christians as brothers and sisters and the thought of my brother asking me out is kind of gross. If I didn't greet my brother he would get mad.

Haha, it's actually Australia, but thanks 
Anyone know if I'm allowed to smile in South Africa?
I'm not very good at keeping a straight face, so most of the time I just walked with someone so the creepy guys wouldn't follow me home.....
**thinks it's a good time to get the thread back on topic instead of continuing the derailment topic of the comments made by a couple of people**
I agree with Zero that Iraasuup has biblical grounds to remarry once the marriage is dissolved if she chooses to.
Katie, by all means if this man chooses to strike up a friendship with you let him know your circumstances ASAP. Likewise I defer to my advice in a prior thread to keep your friendships with men to a minimum for the time being since you are in an emotionally vulnerable condition.

To me it sounds like this guy is doing what every girl on here says to do, and that is act on the way he feels. Like OnceFallen said let him, befriend the guy, but let him know your situation and i'm sure he will understand.

If you spent all of your 20s married, then there's something you may have forgotten about-
dudes hit on fine lookin' ladies...like all the time.
Just because someone likes you doesn't mean you are obligated to date them. Say thank you, be flattered, express that you're not interested and then go about your day feeling awesome and beautiful.
HIS intent is irrelevant. This is not a dilemma.

I noticed no one applied the old school method of keeping men in church at bay. If you can handle the idea, wear your wedding ring! When & if he waves back at you, wave with your left hand. If he's looking for signals, he will see that one pretty clearly. If he continues after that, he's obviously a player & then you can brush him off. The direct approach isn't rude, if done with the right spirit. Also, MATURE christian men usually don't play such a smiley game, do they? I would think a mature christian would already be getting info on you before showing the "I'm interested" look.
