Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting that link. I just read all 16 installments. His story is so eerily familiar that at first I thought I'd stumbled on my ex's blog; only the names and a few key details are different. My engagement also didn't work out, but it was the beginning of my escape from a religion of fear and guilt. Reading his account helped me understand what my poor ex endured, and his explanations for his ex-fiance's struggle helped me understand mine. Thanks again for posting.

I am truly glad you found it helpful. Lou's story helped me understand more thoroughly why patriarchal / courtship is sick and twisted. Some people at my SBC church have become enamored with the concept, and I have had some opportunity to debate the subject.
