Because I just realized that I care more about my own love than God.

Then isn't that your answer?

Also, it sounds like you really dislike her.

You don't understand!! I grew up around a bunch or drunk, pot smoking, tattooed RED NECKS!!! Everytime I would look at her tattoo, I would see negative images!!! I put that life behind me!!!!! Why would I want to live with it?!?!?!?!??!?!!!!

Jesus christ...

From what I can gather by your posts in this thread, you're both in need of some serious therapy.

No offense son, but it seems to me you're really lost emotionally. Sounds like you're confused of what you want and what you believe in. Would that be a true statement?

YES!!! Everything is a lie!!!! Everyone's opinion is their own!!

Just another question in regards to your edited initial post. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of prescriptions is she on? Everyone takes prescription drugs. Hell, I take three for acne. Am I a bad person?

Um, so why didn't you bring this up earlier if this was your main reason? Instead of the bible thumping bullsh1t?

Honestly, you don't sound like you deserve her... or any other girl for that matter.

Yes, everyones' opinion is their own. That's why it's called an opinion. But what is a lie? And you do agree that you have some emotional battles of your own? This is me trying to understand you, not bash you.

Please break up with her. No girl should have to suffer being with an asswipe like you.

I agree that you should break up with her but I do disagree that you're an asswipe. I think you have some confusion of your own that you need to deal with by seeing a counselor. No sense in hurting other people when you're hurting inside yourself. Maybe i'm just too much of the sensitive type and going about this all wrong. I might have this all backwards.

We have been together over a year and a half now.

I already told her that I completely disapprove of them and that I never wanted her to get one. She promised me a year ago that she never would.

Now she says she wants a tattoo to show off to people. I asked her why. She says because she can and she will no mater what I say.

I guess she wants attention. When we love each other, we LOVE each other. But at the same time, we argue 80% of the time. I'm always in a good mood, but she knows how to change that in an instant. So that would be another reason to lose her.



Also, she looks exactly like her mom when she was her age. Not good news.


It's raining pretty hard here........ Seems fitting.

[Update: Removed my faith as a factor.] And, it would be on the front right of her hip. High enough up so that others can easily see it. Also, she is already on 5 prescriptions at the age of 18. She is right on track with her mom.





Thanks,
Dustin
you sound like you don't think much of your gf.

You only think you're "very Christian" if you are actually reasoning like that.

"But now, apart from law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed, and is attested by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed; it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus." - Romans 3:23-26

There is nothing wrong with a tattoo. And if you have to ask whether or not the two of you should be together, that means that you don't belong together.

Congratulations dumbass.

It's people like you calling themselves "very Christian" that give Christianity a bad name.

And you should change your poll.. she should lose you instead.

:thumbsup:

What does her being on prescriptions have to do with anything? I'm on tons of prescriptions and I'm not quite sure what it has to do with her being bad or something. :confused:

Also, I have three tattoos. I'm a Christian - not practicing at the moment - and I don't think God is going to not love me because of my tats. Oh, and I plan to get more. My fiance doesn't have any, but he has no problem with mine.

If you're not comfortable with her having tattoos and she is going to get them regardless, then you should just break up with her. I don't know how old you are, but since she's 18, you're probably pretty young too. It'll be tough at first but move on; you got plenty of time to find someone who fits you.

I simply asked for opinions. I didn't want personal attacks.

Because:

1. You mentioned religion. Folks 'round here get downright intolerant when you do that, despite the implied hypocrisy (it makes them feel superior). I don't know why you had to bring religion into it; you could've just said, "I think it would make my girl look trashy", but there it is. I don't want my wife to get one, I'm not ashamed to say so, and it has nothing to do the The Good Lord (TM).

2. You knocked tattoos, and they're "cool", and you dared tell a woman what to do with her body, and that's "uncool". Haven't you heard? Its 2006 and you're a male, therefore you're not entitled to an opinion. Eat your fat-free granola bar, gobble some anti-depressants to shield you from reality, and shut the fvck up.

Ditch her, honestly. If you don't like this, it will just bug you. She is probably just trying to get you pissed off anyways.

Screw it, go find someone else. If my girlfriend wanted to get a tattoo so that "she could show it off"... well... you know what I would do :)

EDIT:

Or... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Get something on your back so that you can "show it off to people".
