PLEASE PRAY FOR JERRY

[jenniferevet]

This poor guy just got in trouble for giving me his number. His wife called up crazy after he explained he never went out with me but my friend, back in HS. We stayed friends and darn good ones. He was liked by my ex-husband. He's a family friend. Now he has had one BAD break after another. This is the topper. Please pray that his wife forgives him for being my friend.

He lost his jOB and got involved with some shady characters. Something big went down and wrong place, wrong time (he's not the first person I've heard about getting swooped up in "sweeps") ... he got snatched up and went to jail. Now he's out and no one will hire him. Its a terrible shame since he's got to be the sweetest guy.

PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM, please God, Jesus, Angels, Spirits, help this poor guy out. He's too nice for this.

[Psalms18_28]

Praying for him, and praying for his wife. If I were you, I wouldn't call him anymore because it does sound suspicious for him to call an ex-gf's friend. Especially if she have been cheated by him before.

If you two are just High school classmates and just catching up old times, that's fine (although, my husband and I catch old times with classmates on facebook, not over the phone). But if it get to the point that he talk to you more than his own wife, I would back off. I remember feeling neglected by my ex-bf because he found someone else to talk to. That was one of the reason why we broke up, I just felt the relationship wasn't going to work out.

you (as a female) should not and can not be best/good friend with a married man. Only the wife should.

Welcome, hope & pray that all works out well.

I am married to a secure man who does not feel threatened by others. Our marriage is secure and if he felt threatened he would not be with me. That's my reply about the caveman style, extremely insecure reply. Absurdity and being fearful of another woman will make ANY man run the other way. I don't see him on a daily basis, or speak to like I use to in HS ... we're in our 40's now. Its time for her to grow up, become secure and stop letting the world know she doubts her marriage.

[jenniferevet]

You're right Jesus is the only hope. He can only get in her heart to be trusting of her husband. She's famous for flipping out if any other woman even looks at him. So only Jesus could help her with her insecurity.

[Psalms18_28]

I pray for her, but I don't go around criticizing other people's wife. I never have and never will.

[jenniferevet]

It affects me directly and someone who is innocent so apologies for pointing out that she lives in fear and not in faith.

[Psalms18_28]

my mother have been cheated on before. It was very hard for her to trust my father. That's why I think it should be left alone and let him work out his own prOBlems. We can still pray for them, but I just don't think it is right to judge someone because they have a prOBlem with trusting. We don't always know the whole story.

[jenniferevet]

I've been cheated on as well and I don't make the world pay for a crime against me. However I CHOSE not to react that way. I am just holding her accountable for her choices. Judgment is not mine, merely pointing it out and that I have the right to do. Again, all that I ask from the original post was for prayer for him because he's going to need it, especially her.

[Psalms18_28]

no prOBlem with praying.. just be sure not to make the marriage worst by talking to him all the time. It would just add fuel to the fire.

Everyone react differently. He will have to deal with his wife personality.

[Jerry]

Jennifer, perhaps you should trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation - then pray for God alone to work out this issue. (I say this because of your comment about praying to angels and spirits - true believers pray to God alone.)

It is wise for married women to be cautious in dealing with men that they are not married to (and vice-versa). You may be critical of the other woman - BUT she is absolutely right to be concerned with her husband interacting with another female. If you care about doing right, then deal with him (and her) in a cautious, careful manner - not knocking her because she wants to protect her marriage.

P.S. For some who may be wondering: no, I am not the Jerry in question.
