View Profile History	Respect. Posted : 6 Jun, 2011 10:07 AM Rachel, I guess my failed marraige was because my x wife listened to bad advice. I lost control of a problem and it was my fault. My step son brought his fluzzy pregnant girl friend up here from Florida. One day I saw her on the internet writing her parents and siblings telling them why her father should leave her step mother. Then came my turn, this fluzzy convinced my wife to make me pay all the bills and I was not good enough for her.Then i got layed off, my X said no job no marriage. I have found I may be better off with out them. All is forgiven. I am at peace. Yea, my X wife was gulliable. Dennis Post Reply
View Profile History	Respect. Posted : 6 Jun, 2011 03:13 PM I don't know how I'd define what it IS, but I know what it isn't. My ex. infuriated me when I'd complain at how she was bringing up the kids - she'd just roll her eyes at me and say (non-verbally but the body language and look she gave were just as much) "and what would you know about it?!". Her ways were right, mine were wrong, simply because. And the other things too. In the end, I didn't give a hoot what she thought about me because I no longer cared about her opinion - at that point she might as well have been just a lodger in the house. Needless to say, things didn't last long from there onwards. Post Reply
Asher_Aurelius View Profile History	Respect. Posted : 7 Jun, 2011 11:35 PM I think that respect is an expression of treating others as you would like to be treated. I also feel there is an element that it is an expression of who we are. People expect to be treated according to what they deem they deserve. This is a reason people need to learn to respect and love themselves as God does. Fundamentally I think humans are the same, whether Christian or non, and we expect people to treat according to how we think that we ought to be. For myself as I have come to know Christ more, the vision of what this should be has changed dramatically. So there is an aspect where respecting someone is that value and honour them for who they are; you accept who they are. This is why seeing them though God's eyes empowers us to love them, and also to in a relationship based in Christ, we are able to get to know them in a much deeper personal level. Allowing for a much deeper respect for one another. Post Reply
