Guy disrespected me due to rejection?

[Anonymous]

I rejected him due to my medical and religious beliefs.. he got upset because I told him I was waiting on God for a mate and would need a partner that aligns with me.. he is not yoked with me and clearly doesn't have a relationship with God. I rejected a few guys due to beliefs and it's something I can't compromise.

None of these men understand that and think they're entitled to me despite me telling them I have standards...

Ugh sis, I'm sorry that guy reacted so immaturely to your rejection. You deserve way better than that. Some key things:

- Your beliefs are totally valid and personal - don't let anyone make you feel bad for having standards.

- You were respectful by being direct instead of leading him on. That's all you owe anyone.

- How someone responds to rejection says way more about their character than yours. No need to internalize his disrespect.

- Don't compromise who you are or what's important to you just to please a man. The right one will accept all of you as is.

It sucks to deal with nonsense like that, but you handled it well. Keep surrounding yourself with people who honor your boundaries without judgement. Maybe take a break from dating for a bit if these type of encounters have you down - focus on you and your faith community. You'll bounce back, and someone deserving will come along when the time is right!

Somebody can say they are religious and still be a piece of crap

Well I'm a believer and will not compromise myself or relationship with God to be with someone is not yoked to me with beliefs and etc.. I'm sorry I want a like minded person and for him he should find a mate who probably aligns with him

[Asker]

This guy clearly doesn't have a relationship with God at least he didn't give me that impression and we talked a few weeks back he told me his beliefs. I knew where he stood then...

Yoked means to be under a burden or be under a burden together.

[Asker]

Yoked means according to scriptures be in alignment

Equally yoked -
People also ask
What does it mean to be equally yoked?
If you're equally yoked with your partner, it means you have the same morals and spiritual values (regardless of your religious upbringing). You and your partner are probably equally yoked if you worship the same higher power, have similar goals, and know how to communicate effectively.

[Staximus]

So what if he doesn't believe in an imaginary all-powerful magic sky daddy? That doesn't make him a bad person, it just means he's not a follower.

An atheist and Christian couldn't not date or a believer and unbeliever

[Staximus]

Yeah they can, it happens all the time

[Asker]

It's not his belief in Jesus Christ we don't have the same beliefs pertaining to other things and not on the same path he should find a woman who supports his path and choices medically and religiously..

[Asker]

According to scriptures it's not favored or will be compatible - I certainly will not and couldn't if it doesn't align with scriptures

[Asker]

I have a friend girl that husband is not equally yoked nor does he believe in God and their marriage is on rocks 🪨, she will divorce him soon.

[Asker]

As she should according to scriptures

[Staximus]

Equally yoked means equally burdened

[Asker]

I just provided an equally yoked definition of what an equally yoked partner is.. I could never date a man who doesn't have a relationship with God or is hearing from him

[Asker]

There's nothing a man can do if he's not lead by God himself when it comes to submission

[Asker]

MY beliefs could not and faith with God

[Asker]

According to Christian content not etc

[Asker]

See you can't even address the definition of yokeness pretaining to Christian text hence why I couldn't with a non believer man

[Asker]

The issue with you men you want to alter scriptures and can't / you're not living according to scriptures
