I had posted another thread about how it bothered me for over 3 years that men are attracted to other women in a relationship.  I suspected that God was starting to change how I felt 2 days after I started praying about it, but I kept second guessing myself, asking myself, are you SURE you feel this way? over and over to the point that I got very confused and didn't know how I felt.
 
What I DO know is that I had this thought "A man may be attracted to other women for a few seconds, but it would be you he really cared about".  My first reaction to this thought was a feeling of peace and feeling like I would feel comfortable being in a relationship.  Now, I had heard people say this to me many times over the years, but my mind and heart responded, "OK, sure, but it still bothers me that he's attracted to them, even if it's me that he loves and wants to be with."
 
Before I wrote this, I read something about how men are genetically programmed to desire more than one woman.  My first reaction to this was a feeling of relief and understanding.  Like this is okay.  I understand.  I had also heard this one hundreds of times and every time I heard it my feeling was, "That may be the case and they are hardwired this way and can't help it, but it still bothers me and seems terribly wrong."
 
Perhaps instead of second guessing myself over and over and accusing myself of not really feeling OK with this, I should accept that Heavenly Father is responding to my prayers and trying to change how I feel because I did pray to Him several times asking Him to somehow make me feel okay with this and be able to marry someday which is what He commands us to do.
 
On a positive note, I just got hired as a Safeway clerk today so I'll be starting work there in a few days.

Wow, this is great.  You are very knowledgeable about scripture.
