Nope. Not single. Got a great marriage with an outstanding woman.
Non-feminist woman = Gift from God.
Feminist woman = Worthless scum.
If you're not a feminist then there's no reason to take offense. If you're offended, maybe it's because you're a feminist?
A woman with a strong Christian faith is miles apart from a woman with feminist tendencies. In this case there is a woman who is abandoning her Christianity (if she ever really was a Christian) in favor of feminism. Feminist women are predictable because they're all the same:
When they'e young they go to bed with lots of guys because they look good and they like the dopamine rush of being wanted.
When they get a little older, they all pride themselves on being strong, independent women.
They will probably get married as they find some sucker to provide for them even after they wasted their best years on their whorish ways.
She will inevitably despise this guy that marries her, and she'll immediately be on the lookout to level up.
It's amazing how almost all feminist women follow this basic pattern. It's like they're not even human anymore. It's pretty tough to keep them from jumping ship. But here's my best advice when dealing with a feminist wife/girlfriend.
1. Always show her that you are a high tier alpha man. Get in good shape, make good money, etc.
2. Let it be understood that if she leaves you, that you'll be just fine. You'll have plenty of women lined up in about a half a day.
3. Don't be a good boy around a feminist. You'll never get anywhere.
4. Do NOT get suckered into carrying her purse, buying her tampons, or anything remotely like that. These should always be seen as tests. If you start giving in and failing these tests, she's going to see you as low tier, and it'll make her want to jump ship immediately.
If you have the rare gem of a real Christian women, then you have truly been blessed by God. They're so much more interesting and nuanced. It's harder to give advice for dealing with them since every one of them is different. I do think that all women are susceptible to feminism, so the above advise is still applicable but you can dial it back about 80%. Here's what's worked well for me and my strong Christian wife for almost 30 years:
1. Keep her laughing. Don't let her get bored.
2. Keep her sexually satisfied.
3. Keep earning her respect.
(and FWIW I've never bought tampons for her.)

Lovejoy,
So strive after those things. If she follows you, then great. If she doesn't, then so be it. Grovel before no woman. They were made to be our helpers, not our masters.
He explained earlier that he removed the form of contraception without her permission; which would presumably cause her stress if she is under a lot of pressure in her job and they have agreed to not have children right now.I would like some clarification on what you said here. In our first year of marriage the intimacy was pretty good until I decided to sneak one in without the use of a condom, got in some trouble because of that
What does that mean? You had an affair and didn't use protection? Or what?
Being married 30 years his wife probably has no need for tampons anymore but I could be wrong about that. Still plenty of other feminine products he could still buy for his wife. No, he probably wouldn't turn into a gay by doing this but rather perhaps a guy.Not one piece of Godly advice here, let alone anything helpful. Don't quit your day job, counseling isn't for you.
All women aren't anymore susceptible to feminism than all men are susceptible to chauvinism. Nothing like making judgement calls and blanket statements. smh
Well, you certainly showed her who's boss. My husband would do whatever I needed to be done, because he cares about me. If I was unable to go buy my needs or missed something he would get it for me. That's what a good, caring, loving husband does. By the advice you give I'd expect you to either be single or newly married. 30 yrs and you're still no more mature than this? Grow up man, and buy the woman some dang tampons if she needs them. I promise, it won't make you gay. smh
That doesn't make it better. You still broke her trust in one of the most intimate areas possible.At that point in time I did not know about her abusive past. I know what I did was wrong, but don't shove that in my face nor judge.
One lesson I've learned is never do anything with any expectation. As a person that has a natural desire to see my deeds appreciated, I can tell you it doesn't always go that way, even from people you feel it should. The less you expect when you do things for others, the easier it is to do them. That is self sacrifice. Giving without expecting Anything in return.Oh yes she does. Takes many kinds of meds too. She was doing fine or getting better until Covid hit. I was praying for her to relieve some from of ministering and load and behold my prayers were answered when a girl from her work reached out to do Bible study once a week,, but that immediately stopped. She is a nurse and she's having to work mandatory overtime and hates itThat's why I don't mind going the extra mile at home, but still would appreciate some level of gratitude or appreciation. I know this road is going to be tuff and I plan on sticking it out. I may have to get with my pastor and get some one on one Christian counseling so I myself don't stray.
I believe the friend who started the bible study is the nurse, hence why the study stopped.Your wife is a nurse? If so, work is probably draining. Do your best to make her feel comfortable when she gets home from work.
As a formerly married person I can say that a man doesn't sneak off a prophylactic during sex and the wife not notice the difference.He explained earlier that he removed the form of contraception without her permission; which would presumably cause her stress if she is under a lot of pressure in her job and they have agreed to not have children right now.
The entire OP is confusing and misleading.I believe the friend who started the bible study is the nurse, hence why the study stopped.
