LDS sisters, Am I being inappropriate?

In my opinion - so long as you are honestly representing yourself, sharing the fun of Y!A with your fiancee and open regarding your dealings - there's no problem.

Is there really a difference between your dealings/friendships here and the ones you may have in your ward or branch? Are there not some people of either sex whose opinion you admire and whom you enjoy talking/listening to? This is not inappropriate. I have had a couple emails with members of the opposite sex regarding questions & life - but they're not inappropriate nor seeking to establish a relationship which would threaten my marriage [in fact, I share many of my 'conversations' with my hubby - who loves it as it helps him fall asleep; and my parents - who enjoy the thought provoking discussions and perspectives involved [my mom's trying to figure out how to find r/s & my father is scared to try it for fear he'd become addicted].

So - the moral is: share it all with your sweetheart and all will be well.

I think that as long as the line does not get crossed by emailing back and forth, flirtations, etc., you are good. I would show your list to your fiancee and ask her input. If she feels uncomfortable, then follow that up. My DH knows who is in my address book and I, his.

I think though that keeping things open is there. As married LDS folk with an online life, we must always make sure that our spouse is the first person that we turn to and we allow nothing to come before them.

And a big congrats for Saturday!

I got married about 6 weeks ago- and have a number of male contacts on here. I don't think that is inappropriate- for me the point of having contacts- especially LDS ones is the ease of finding LDS questions to answer. There are also those who I like their questions and answers. I think when you start chatting and forming relationships with them outside of YA- then it becomes a problem. Also if you have an "r&S" wife that is not your real wife- that I would find inappropriate.

I would introduce your wife to R&S. But really just limit your contact with female members of this site and you should be fine.

If you are just using them as contact to review questions they ask or answer, no big deal.

The problems start when you begin to develop a personal relationship with someone of the opposite sex, via e-mail, phone, chat, etc. If you ever feel like hiding something on here from your wife, that's a problem and you should stop immediately.

A good article to read would be Pres. Uchtdorf's talk "See the End from the Beginning", from the April 2006 conference.

Also, "A Tragic Evil Among Us" by Pres. Hinckley from the Priesthood Session of Conference in October of 2004.

If you mind the counsel given in these two wonderful talks and remain open and honest with your almost wife, I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Congratulations on your Impending Nuptials!!

I think it's much ado about nothing. I don't even think about the male/female ratio that are in my contacts. When I find a person's answers intriguing or informative I add them without thinking about their gender. If someone has added me to their contacts, I will usually check out their profile to see what kind of character they are, but again, I do it without thinking about their gender.

By the way, congratulations on getting married. From this question you asked it seems obvious that you are trying to do the noble thing by considering her feelings even down to the detail. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I don't think you're being inappropriate Mike, but you may want to check with your fiance. If she has a problem with you corresponding with all of us, then there's a problem.

Women are naturally more talkative than men - if you want to reiterate a stereotype. It's not like I've ever seen you say anything that has been embarassing, or uncomfortable. I wouldn't worry about it...unless your bride has a problem with it, but I don't think she would if she read over your stuff on here.

frequently, temples tend to advance sources values. they seem to be a superb addition to any community. opposition is easy to the development of temples as a results of fact the adversary of righteousness does not want to work out the dominion of God boost on earth so he places hindrances interior the way everywhere the church is going and grows. That suggested, the church does artwork diligently with the locals to appease their fears and mitigate their concerns. right here in Sacramento, the locals expressed fears that the temple on the hill off the south fringe of I-50 may well be too vivid and be a distraction for drivers. That proved to be a non-situation. you do no longer even see it from the expressway except you're especially searching for it. the vehicle mall is plenty brighter than the temple and is plenty closer to the expressway. As for temples in residential aspects, you may look on the Las Vegas and Reno Temples in Nevada as properly as a results of fact the Mesa Temple in Arizona to work out that they advance the community, no longer detract from it. In Boston, the pals made a fuss appropriate to the top of the steeple so the church agreed to shorten it. The church constantly tries to accommodate the community as long as our purposes can nevertheless be fulfilled.

I don't think it is inappropriate at all. This is just a question and answer forum. I think it would be different if it was a chat room or something, but I think you are safe. If in doubt, ask your fiancee what she thinks. If she is comfortable with it, then you are good. Congratulations!

I'm married and I have lots of "friends" here on Yahoo - many are men. It's not like there is any hanky-panky going on.

Ask your wife. If she doesn't mind then it's no big deal. Just don't piss her off, especially with something as silly as Yahoo.

We are just friendly!

I am sure that your wedding will be fine. Dont worry. Just go with what you feel is right.
