Slippery Slope

[James A. Wyly]

Let me add my voice to this thread.  I have read the entire thread and I strongly agree with all the advice given to Meejo.  Meejo is playing with fire and, if he continues, he will be burned.

Without going into all the sordid details, I've been there---done that.  Tain't fun.

Meejo,  do whatever is necessary to excise this woman from your life or you'll spend the rest of your life picking up the pieces.

I've heard that line before. "We're just friends. You have nothing to worry about. We're just friends, after all."

Do I need to tell you where it went?

If you can't explain to your wife, kids, parents, pastor.... your having to share your tent and sleeping bag with your opposite sex best friend camping buddy you went fishing with last weekend, who can you explain it too?  If a relationship can not be 100% transparent with anybody and everybody, you are on a slippery slope... and you know it... and so do they.  Slippery slopes aren't that hard to recognize if one can attempt to explain why it really isn't a slippery slope.

Meejo,

I admire your honesty, and I believe you are sincere in your requests, yet still deluded by evil that you don't recognize yet.

I had a similar close brush with disaster many years ago. Thank God I recognized it and ran away. I have also had quite a bit of experience counseling Christians in these type of situations.

You really only have two options at this point:
1) Continue the juggling act, with its pleasant titillations, understanding that before long your relationship will be deeply lustful, then likely sexual. You will lose your wife and your self respect. Do you have kids? They will be scarred forever, and you will never completely be the same either.
2) Completely terminate the friendship with Faith.

Don't be selfish.
