Update: the last few days have been filled with threats and insults from this family. Constant texts of how I'm a coward, all I do is hurt people, and more hate. They keep saying how we they want to fight me and "settle this like men." All of this without ever asking my side of the story, just what my wife told them. Also, yesterday morning I woke up to a $400 charge on my credit card from a supermarket in Manizales. Looks like they tried taking as much as they could, even though I tried reaching a settlement. Also, they sent me a cease and desist letter to remove all of the videos we filmed together because I'm "violating privacy rights" I deleted around 40 videos from my channel. These are supposed "Christians" who have only shown violence and hate instead of understanding and compassion. Looks like I have to lawyer up for my safety. Will keep you posted. Don't like asking for donations but Looks like I'm going to need it for what's coming. If you want to help donate, Paypal.me/wesleezy Or Venmo: @wesleezy
they are just a cult,.. now according to article 20 of the colombia constitution rights of freedom of speech : Article 20 of the Colombian Political Constitution of 1991 establishes the freedom of expression and guarantees "to every person, the freedom to express and disseminate their thoughts and opinions, inform and receive truthful and impartial information, and found "mass media" without any censure. These are free and have social responsibility.....Article 13 of the constitution: all people in colombia have the same rights regardless race creed or nationality.
It’s time to remove the emotional attachment. Separate yourself from family ties, close banking accounts, and distance yourself from the chaos. The longer you remain emotionally attached, the longer you suffer from feelings of guilt and shame. Trust me, your future self will not give a damn about your past self.
idk dude I remember you seeking out a super religious girl that’s not slammed out, I’m not sure how you’d expect her to be adventurous in the same way as yourself Super cool that you’re being so open about the situation, takes balls to have a 180 like this publicly
yeah from the other videos seem like this specific type of girl was what he sought, why would anyone expect a super religious girl to be adventurous and open minded? Dude just seems confused and lost
Some shit just isn't adding up. It takes balls to post a video on RU-vid airing out your personal things, but as you guys have said, videos were also posted about how great having a religious girl/wife was and how it was perfect. Now it's here. Maths ain't mathing
Stay safe bro, that sounds like a lot of situations I have witnessed growing up in church my whole life in America. Follow your instincts next time bro, accept things for what they are upfront and prioritize yourself, you have way to much going for yourself. You’re a leader living in your purpose, you need a woman who is a compliment to your life, who follows your leadership, who doesn’t bring people from outside to question your authority. It took me years to understand this and truly accept it. Like you said, you already knew something was off, follow that. You got the relationship with your family and your dad, that’s a huge win. Now add this to your courses on what to do and what not to do while coming to Colombia. I’m happy for you to be honest, these moments is what make a man. 🙏🏾
I was a former officer in the church many years ago. I had to walk away and follow my own spiritual path. Religion is a man made construct but spirituality is your relationship with the higher power.
I realized that Colombians are very very friendly but as soon as you get on their bad side, they get very very petty. I experienced that living with Colombian roommates in NYC that's why when I moved to Colombia, I never dropped my guard down
Colombians are extremly fake and superficial. Not as bad as brazilians, but still bad. And why did you move to colombia if you always have to keep your guard and dont trust anyone lol. Colombia is only good for one holiday. Maybe 2 if you want to see more.
Hola Wes, te sigo casi desde que empezaste tu canal... Hace tiempo estuve tentada a comentarte algo, pero no me pareció correcto opinar, más cuando te veías tan feliz. Mira Wes, según lo que he visto que por tu elección has decidido compartir, tengo la impresión de que eres una persona que vive a mil por hora, quiero decir que parece que haces cosas muy precipitadas, es como que en un principio te ilusionas y ves algo como lo mejor un tiempo, y después te cansas y pierde novedad y te aburres o simplemente te das cuenta de que no es lo que realmente querías o esperabas, también parece que ningún lugar es tu lugar, aunque suene cliché la felicidad no la da ni la gente, ni la religión, ni los lugares o las posesiones, hay que aprender a estar bien con lo que hay, lo demás son extras para hacer la vida todavía mejor. No hagas nada llevado sólo por emociónes que finalmente son algo pasajero, tómate un tiempo para pensar, no sería mala idea que vayas a un terapeuta y le cuentes tus cosas y pueda darte buenas pautas para decidir cosas trascendentales para tu vida... También me parece absurdo que esperes de una mujer muy inmersa en una fe cristiana que se sienta comoda yendo a fiestas y a bailar, es obvio que eso va en contra de sus principios espirituales, para ellos esta mal, no es adecuado. Y bueno, creo que era obvio para todos y para ti, que tú y Ana no iban a enterderse facilmente ya que tienen formas de ver y vivir la vida diferente, normalmente las personas muy religiosas se entienden mejor con otras igual de religiosas, con quienes no sea un sacrificio vivir una vida guiada por dogmas y normas sobre lo bueno y lo malo, y tú, pues antes de ella te habías mostrado como un tipo muy liberal y mundano. Realmente pienso que de lejos Ana se ve buena chica, pero no sé si la única espiritualidad que conozca sea mediante su religión, lo cuál puede llevar a que sea cerrada en algunos temas y crea que la forma en que les indican en la iglesia sea la mejor.. Y tú, pues aunque buscas la espiritualidad, pareces bastante critico por lo que no te veo obedeciendo cosas sólo porque sí... Si por ejemplo para ti carecen de sentido... Más que diferencias culturales puede ser más difícil manejar el tema religioso, mira yo soy de Manizales y soy agnóstica y me costaría relacionarme con personas muy religiosas de mi ciudad o de cualquier lado del mundo... Me siento mal por ti y por Ana, pero sobre todo pienso en ella... Aunque no comparto su fe, admiro su entereza para vivir de acuerdo a sus creencias e ideales, y pues eso de esperar a la persona indicada... Como consejo reitero sólo tómate las cosas con calma, no hagas nada muy loco hasta que estés más tranquilo. Suerte en todo.
Yo estoy pasando por algo similar que Wes. Soy de Los EE.UU. y me crie differente que mi novio Cristiano que tambien se crio aqui en Los EE.UU. Yo soy mas abrierta a otras formas de Cristianidad como en la profesia, hablar en lenguas el es mas Baptista y nadie se lo cambia. Sus padres Han tratado de seperarme de el porque no somos de la misma "llema" . Esta cosa de la Cristianidad se a volvido a un cult. Un culto. Si no piensas exactamente lo mismo ni piensas llamarte Cristiana. Es feo que alguien me dice a mi que no soy Salvada porque no creo esto esto exacto. Es el teme que yo entiendo con Wes que seperan Cristianos con otros Cristianos. Hacen mas enemigos que amigos. Simplemente no pudieron dejarle a Wes que sea la cabeza de la casa. Su mujer no lo accepto a el como la cabeza de la casa, y ademas trayo otras personas Para demandar que el cambie. Esos muy feo. Ella deberia traer un poco de confianze en el. A dejar se guillarse. Bailar salsa no es el mismo que bailar reggaeton. No estoy Para todo esta pendejada de Cristianos. Lo digo Como Cristiana que a sufrido mucho con ellos en mi pasado. Y Los amo y los quiero mucho. Quisiera que esteramos mas unidos! Me da Mucha tristeza a verlos separarse cuando en la Cristianida eso es un grande NO NO. REZO QUE NO SE SEPAREN. Lo que dios une que nada lo separen.
Prediction: You'll end up hating Medellin again and return to the states. Take this as a good learning experience, your relationship with your family is back to where it should be.
@@WheresWes true i guess so bro, well youre young. eventually youll learn that youre more at home, at home. this lgbtq and leftism youre running away from is everywhere, even in asia trust me lol. its even worse in europe, unless youre going to eastern europe, but even if youre there youll see an even bigger culture clash.
Maybe not the states since states have gone really badly. Even in UK and Australia is bad but now where near as bad as US which is in crisis. Maybe move bakc to states for a bit and see if you like it. If you think it’s the same then just go travelling around Europe and see if you like it eventually there are lots of countries that are safe and have similar vibes to Latin America but safer. Take a lesson from him, Columbia does not solve problems with your life it will get worse but if you stay away from bad areas then you would have a fab time. Or move to a Muslim country, and find your tribe there.
yeah I go to Medellin a couple months of the year, rest of the time I'd much prefer to be in Florida and in the US. No way I could live there permanently, and unless you're financially unable to sustain yourself in the US I don't know why you would
Hi Wes, sorry things didn't work out with your marriage, I honestly wish you the best, hope my city Medellin will give you better chances to organize your life and be happy, best wishes always, take care, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 ✌️
I once married a foreigner and had a similar situation. For many people, culture is deeply rooted, family values are deeply rooted, and of course, religion is deeply rooted. When a person is entrenched into their way of thinking, it’s time to consider your options. When a spouse brings others into your family, it’s time to have serious discussion. And when a person is threatened with death, you have two options: meet the threat or get out of dodge. At this point, I would wash my hands of the situation. Even though your wife may be forgiving, her crazy associates may not be forgiving. The thought of living with fear and uncertainty would be nerve-racking. My advice, treat this experience as a learning lesson. Hold onto your values, march forward and with great determination.
FACTS. Divorce the girl, leave everything that happened in Manizales behind and wash your hands. Christianity in Colombia is not like in the states. They aren’t tolerant at all.
That takes a LOT of guts to open up like that. It sounds eerily similar to the situation with me and my ex-wife from Brazil. As many times as I tried to bring up things in a logical way....I realized you can't negotiate with emotional terrorists. It bothered me she discussed our issues with people on the outside....that in hindsight were rooting for our demise and looking for ways to tear us apart....both male and female. I don't believe in divorce either, but you can't force someone to stay with you when they allow outside forces to dictate our marriage. The divorce was heartbreaking for me, but I became stronger in the end and know what I want. I wasn't as close before with my brother before, but my situation made me realize that you can only trust family completely. I am super close now with my brother and my other family members. It might be a good break to try another country. You can move closer to family....maybe Nevada and visit family more often. Or you can go research your family roots. My brother and I are on the west coast, but we decided to move back home to the northeast soon, and then go to Italy to learn more about where our family came from. Divorce sucks, but you can learn a lot about yourself from it. Both my parents passed away, and I regret not spending more time with them. It might be a recharge just to visit other countries also. Good luck in your journey.
sending positive vibes from california wes! really enjoy hearing your thoughts, reflections, and perspectives on life. keep posting, we're all with you along the adventure
Living here in Medellín for nearly three years now, there's a few rules I abide by to keep safe and sane: 1) maintain a low profile and don't draw undue attention to yourself 2) never let a bad situation escalate and get out of control 3) trust no one and be fully reliant only on yourself and your own judgement. Beyond that I don't know enough about your personal situation to cast judgement, but if I received for instance a serious death threat, I'd probably leave the country at a bare minimum and not just move to a different city.
He's not taking it seriously, the guy probably doesn't have the fare to go after him anyway. First thing going on YT and starting a real estate venture with lots of exposure means he's not worried about anyone finding him, quite the opposite.
Wes, I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I know God is with you and will guide you throughout this. Glad to see you remain true to who you are! Things will get better and your life will be peaceful soon.
Life is a learning process. Good for you for recognizing the hypocrisy and staying true to who you are. Keep moving forward, and thank you for the videos!
Stay strong brother. Life is a journey of experiences and growth that ultimately leads to wisdom and internal peace. Part of that includes mistakes and challenges. You will overcome all of the hard times and come out ahead.
I want to express my deep admiration for your courage in opening up about such personal matters. It takes immense strength to expose your vulnerabilities, especially in the face of adversity. As a fellow Asian man, I empathize deeply with your experiences, the cultural and value clashes, and the struggles you have gone through. I can relate to the unique challenges we face and your story resonates with me. Remember that change is the only constant, and from these hardships, you are growing stronger and wiser. Continue to follow your heart and what feels true to you. That's the path towards finding your own happiness. Lastly, your safety is paramount. Please ensure you take all necessary precautions to protect yourself amidst the death threats. No one deserves to live in fear for expressing their truth and seeking happiness. Stay strong, Wes. You're not alone in this journey.
There's a name for you - human. I'm sorry to hear what's happening with your marriage. I'm glad you have the courage to share such obvious pain with your subscribers. Sounds like you're learning the same life lessons many of us that are older than you have learned just like you - the hard way 😊. As I got older I realized that my Dad was truly wise and only wanted to see his son succeed in life. Fortunately for you and me, we both learned the truth of our fathers while we were young enough to benefit from their sage advice. You're going to be alright, Wes.
I’ve been watching you since pandemic days when I was trapped in Ecuador. You were the first one that brought Medellin to my radar and now I’ve been living here in Provenza for 6 months and on route to get my immigrant VISA. I respect the honesty and sincerity in your videos man. That’s really rare. I hope you’re able to find peace with your wife and extended family. I’m living in Poblado Provenza and have a music studio at my place. We gotta link some time. I’m about to start doing live streams again soon.
@@soccerfp I think it could be saved but she needs to go back into that relationship 100% on his terms and be ready to reject all family & friends that disagrees and disproves of her decision to do so. If not, then personally I would move on as well and find a younger girl in her early 20’s. If I’m not mistaken she is over 30 years old? That could be a reason why it didn’t work out
Brooo same, kinda sucks seeing it like this but Wes kinda took this L cuz he wasn't thinking straight. Went overboard on the red pill and started getting too dead set on things in this world. At the end of the day, still rooting for him, but his judgment and wishy-washy thinking are really concerning.
I was so interested after visiting Medellin this past May for a month. But I found out they have wealth tax and that ruined it for me. No way I am reporting all my assets to the govt. Are they f-ing crazy.
Dang, man, truly hope for the best for you. Don't let this stop you, and above all, stay safe out there. Don't telegraph your whereabouts if you know there's smoke for you. You've got our support in the states. Even if you have to leave colombia for a sec to lay low, its not a big deal. Everyone would understand. Ill make sure to donate. Good luck to you my man
I'm sorry for your current situation bro. But such is life, onwards and upwards mate. Keep your head up, you got this. Sending support from South Africa ✌🏽
Sad to hear this. I hope you guys can work things out. My wife is costena and we have been married nearly fifteen years. Yes, we are different culturally and do not always see things with the sane perspective. A little give and take is necessary in any relationship. Keep in mind the things which attracted the two of you together in the beginning. Also do not forget how devastating this separation has to be for your wife. Best of luck.
i wish you well, and dated a 7th Day Adventist in Medellin 5 years ago, and glad I got out after a year. She didn't like me drinking a glass of wine, coffee, anything bad for body in her opinion. Although she had no issues with her sugar habit.
Yo this is crazy! Good luck Wes. Everyone take note to be slow to get married. You can be together without the papers to complicate things. Of course if you're super religous they look down upon living together without marriage, but if you are not under those pressures, you should wait!
Man oh man. Thank you Wes for being yourself. Thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable with us and share your journey. Bless you brother and keep shining!
Hey Wes...came across your Channel in 2020....as I was making my plans to spend a few months in Colombia...to investigate potential investment and real estate opportunities with a friend in Bogota...as well as take my Spanish to the next level and immerse myself in the Colombian culture...of which I had heard many good things. I have been in Colombia for 15 months now, spending 10 of those in Medellin. I found your perspectives unique and very honest....and even though some of our opinions may differ...I will say it has been interesting and enlightening to see your growth and maturity continue...and almost take on an exponential trajectory....especially over the past year and a half. I am saddened to hear about the current situation...as it is never pleasant to hear a marriage is headed towards divorce....but it takes a lot of guts to lay things out as you have...and do it in a gracious and respectful manner towards your wife. I am back in Bogota...which seems a better fit for me...however, I made many good friends in Medallo and will return there often....perhaps one day our paths will cross. I wish you the best in this difficult time...and am thrilled to hear your relationship with your Father and family in the US has improved. Stay strong and God bless. Paulie.
Hi Wes, all I can say is be careful and get to know who they are before you make a decision on who to date, I wish you the best in my city Medellin, greetings from USA 🇺🇸
Damn bro - sorry to hear about this shitty situation. There's always a lesson to be learned from every experience and I honestly think this experience will help you grow, not only as a person, but also as a creator. Excited to watch you grow your channel and become the RU-vid ambassador for Medellin!
Ay no qué triste. Siento mucho que estén pasando por todo esto tu esposa y tú, espero que puedan solucionar las cosas de la mejor manera para los dos. Muchos éxitos y mucha fortaleza para los dos.
I really hope you and your wife can come to terms and resolve this matter but at the end of the day, your safety is more important than holding on to something that could destroy you. Hope you figure it all out soon.
Bro, I feel for you. I've been there years ago. Religion is for people that are afraid to go to hell. Spirituality is for those who have been there! From what I gather from your past, we have both been there! One lesson I learned, is that God is SO MUCH BIGGER than Religion or "the church." Please do not let this what has happened have you turn your back on God. Keep close to Him, commune with him and be at peace. Remember, it was the religious folks that put Jesus on the cross, and at His ressurection, there were no pastors or deacons! God is love :)
Awesome that you and your dad are back on track. Seems like maybe you gained in your loss. Love from our family is the best support we can ever get. Sending you positive vibes Wes.
I've practiced Buddhism for 50 years and retired to the Southern Colombian town of Pasto. I was fortunate to find a great wife here. My impression us that evangelical fundamentalist Christianity is causing lots of problems in South America. Please look me up if you ever make it down this way. I have a RU-vid subscription with notifications so if you reply to this comment I should see it. Best wishes, Wes!
Hey bro, I just wanna say this hits home for me. I met my GF 3 years ago so I never really dated around or had any friends here expect for my 2 American friends in medellin who no longer live in colombia. It took me awhileee to realize that I was living life according to her and how she lives life. It got to a point that I started to get bored and wanted to make friends , or travel back home for extended periods of time. Shit I even missed having alone time and watching things in english that I like. It was always a huge issue. I started to feel locked down , controlled and bored with my life. We had a big fight about 3 months ago and broke up. I ended up moving out about 15 minutes from her. For the past month we've been working on our relationship but I've realized I can't live with her. At least not now. I want to enjoy myself and enjoy my own time without having to made feel guilty. I share the same differences you stated. My gf isn't religious but we do have completely different outlooks on life and how we want to live it. Right now I'm just being selfish with my time... I owe it to myself after having lived her life for 3 years... it just didn't work for me and our differences weren't being resolved. Maybe one day sooner or in the future we will live together again but best believe I will have a list of expectations and wants for how I want to live too.
Wow man that was a lot. Something similar happened to me with a girlfriend of four years. I left her and my old church behind and just found one that’s wasn’t “culty.” So it’s important not to overgeneralize. Anyway, I’ve been watching your content and have found it very valuable. I hope to get in touch with you for a consultation soon! Best wishes brother! 😎🙏
Seems as if you didn’t really want a “church girl” but more of a “spiritual” person. Those two things are not the same and each have their own pros/cons.
After 2 years of living in Colombia and in Different cities, I had to leave because of the increasing crime rate and too many cultural differences. The lure and honeymoon period wore off quickly. I still recommend going there as a tourist, and for those that want to live there long term, don't have too much expectations and try living in different cities. P.S> I am shocked with Wesley's life updates.
You fit the profile of someone who moves to a different country/culture thinking it will be the solution to all his problems. Most people do not make it even two years and usually go back home humbled. Most set themselves up for problems by not adapting to the language or trying to blend in to a much different culture. I watch them come and go over the many years I have lived here and the pattern is always the same. First 6 months it is great, second six months reality begins to set in and over the second year they realize it is not what they thought for a variety of reasons. If someone can last 5 years, he most likely will stay.
@@GBU61 It could be called the tourist syndrome. Tourist vs birth/resident of the foreign country. Like a fantasy is created in the new country and the home country (as in the USA) is just terrible left and right, up and down. The ongoing (tourist) mindset eventually ends with a traumatic experience. One finds out quickly THEY are the outsider, regardless of language proficiency and acceptance. Hell, there are clicks in the US by race that will discard you if you’re not one of them! I’ve been all over the world (less far East), and problems are problems and no matter what, you can’t out run them. Humans can be pretty damn evil which compounds the situation. Now imagine being in a foreign country and you don’t look like them? My man is in a sucky situation.
Sorry to hear that Wes. We all live and learn and sometimes things don't workout. I think you're doing what's best for you and take care of yourself. Your content is always interesting. Keep moving forward.
My friend, I'm really sorry to hear that... I hope you both can fix things to get together again, but on the other hand, religious people never change, reason why I wouldn't ever have a relation with women with those faith... In the end, you either continue with or without her doing really good in my country because you deserve it... you're a great person and so is she. Anyway, welcome to Barranquilla, my friend... you're gonna love it!
Wes i have commented on your channel several times. Like you may have seen I have been around Colombia and been all over this country. I have a ton of knowledge and experience dealing with people here. I just knew this was a matter of time. You still got alot to learn my man, and I hope you do. Always a wary eye to EVERYONE here.
Damn bro. That is pretty wild. Thats rhe same reason I cant do church/religion. Well im glad to hear youre going to travel around and get to know more of colombia. 😮
That is sad to see how we Colombia people make other countries hate us more this country have too much to offer of good but bad people as everywhere have stronger voice sadly i hope everything get better and she realizes that the churches not always is the place where god is and people cannot be religious and extremist that is the usual what happens on the Christian churches in Colombia as happened with my mom she was too much into the church that her ex-husband leaves her cause she was more into the church than into the family and God is in every where not just in the churches we are also the house that can let Jesus Christ come in so that means a lot and guy just be positive
Sorry to hear about this experience Wes. I'm very surprised to hear that people from a church or acting like this. In the US, I've been going to church since I was 4. I've never had an experience like this. It's not religion or Christianity that's bad, its flawed people that are reflecting God. God is perfect and loves all of us.
Sorry to hear that, You'll get through it by focusing on your content, work, the gym, surround yourself with good people and heal yourself 1st. Trust your guts next time, learn and preach what you talk about. Life is lived in the gray, not the black and/or white. Never trust what women say, but what they do (religious or not). Time heals everything.
first off I've been following your a long time, your one of the OG Asian travelers paving the way for the hordes of other brothers who are now travelling and getting out of their home shell. Like the future is irrevocably changed from your content, thank you for helping out the community and inspiring me to travel too. Now to be a troll, me and maaaany other Asian bros who followed you were at first happy you met your ex wife, like here is a bro that made it, but then we would discuss how you could have done way much better than her or that you shouldnt have given up on your "past life". in other words, you should have stayed in the lifestyle of "why buy a cow when you can buy the milk?" I'm agreeing with other commenters here that looking for a super religious conservative wife is not just rainbows and butterflies, but also has bad parts to it. Also like you said when you met her you were in a bad spot mentally, thats not a good time to meet someone. Anyway I hope this is water under the bridge and you go back to the up and up. I'm cheering you on and looking forward to future content!
this. i think wes, like many, are so tired of woke western women, that we idealize women from abroad as somehow perfect angels. Women are women everywhere, of course, some better than others. If anything, it was way too rushed and for no good reason. Glad wes for out before he had a kid w her or wasted too much money.
I was in a serious relationship with a Combian woman as well. Although the relationship wasn't based around religion or the church, any time there was an issue she would bring it up to her friends and/or family and almost lie and exagerrate to make it look like I was 100 percent in the wrong every time. Things that were silly, and could have been handled between us and kept private. Some of her friends and family began to detest me, but she still wanted me to stick around and be together. How the hell am I supposed to date you if your sister hates me and looks like she will tear my head off when I see her? haha. I think it is a cultural thing, but also a women thing to a degree. They are so influenced by others, it is very scary. I think best case scenario is finding a women who is free thinking but also not easily influenced, but also in touch with her spirituality and not degenerate, which is very difficult but I've come across a few in Latin America (although rare).
Women have always leveraged their social circle for security, protection, resources, etc. It makes sense from an evolutionary psychology perspective. Who's going to protect the woman if her physically stronger man steps out of line? Of course her family, friends and members of her tribe.
I wish you all the best Wes. Just be careful where you film. It wouldn't be hard for those lunatics to locate you, just by recognising the buildings in the background of your video. Stay safe brother.
Finally he learned that every man made religion is that way ..lesson learned now move on and get free people that similar to you and th ere is plenty .Freedom is the king boy!
Sounds like you still have some soul-searching to do. Way too young to get married anyway. Just imagine if you had gotten married in the US.. Good luck with your projects in Medellín, I hope it goes well for you. I am arriving in a few weeks myself - can't wait!
Sorry to hear this is happening, Wes! We hope you and Ana Maria can come to an amicable solution, whatever that looks like. Whether together or separate. You both deserve to live the life you want. I hope Medellín is good to you, enjoy!
Your honesty is where truth and that's all that matters. I'm glad you're not shaken in your faith - that's the one thing that always lasts, always matters, no matter where you are, what you are doing. I hope you stay in Colombia or some other place in South America, simply because it's such an amazing area, but, I wish you the best wherever you choose to go.
After a few relationships as a Christian man before getting married here and knowing now the churches are religious it’s always good to listen to the Bible about leaving your mother and father and in Colombia that doesn’t happen. Unfortunately you found a good woman who even being religious won’t be easily replaceable because Catholic religion rules Colombia and there’s no real spiritual growth. It happens in Marriage. She has to agree to leave her parents and family out of your decisions and let you lead but at the same time she has to accept that not everything is sinful. There’s no freedom in religion. There’s no perfect church but the fabric of society is better for believing and following something. Just my 2 cents. If someone wants you dead in Colombia it’s easy. So just be careful if the threat is real.
Thanks for sharing man. Its seems like you need times away from Colombia. You're welcome in Barranquilla/Santa Marta. Gotta come out here to see how people are living on the coast.
I appreciate the honesty. Truth be told, you just jumped into marriage too early. It happens to a lot of people! The vulnerability of this video is refreshing for sure. I’ll be in Medellin very soon bro. We should get a coffee or bite to eat sometime.
Sad to hear. I saw one drama in the social circle I got involved with, a group regarding one of my hobbies. Seeing internal drama in that group I decided I don't want to get involved in any serious relationship with any woman because I can see how things are intense and even when someone takes you in and say all these sweet words, then this person can be a deadly enemy of someone else. Cheers from Manizales
As a preachers kid.... I fully understand everything you said! And feeling like you are not in control of your life and thoughts. You on the right track man !
Hey, Wes, thanks for sharing so openly about an obviously difficult experience. Sorry you ended up going through this painfully sad episode. I'm happy for you and your dad's deepening relationship, and glad you're remaining open to God as being loving and supportive, rather than critical and condemning. Hang in there, man.
Unfortunate to hear this type of news from you as I've been following you since I heard about an authentic Asian restaurant in Manizales while I was in Pereira. I think that the right church/group of people who embody the type of vision/walk/life with God that you have is definitely out there somewhere. But as you said, it's about having that personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Looking forward to more videos in Medallo. I know it gets a bad rep(deserving or not) but my experience there has been always positive. Hopefully everything resolves itself according to God's plan for you and your life.
Wes im so proud of you. Your a great Christian. You know whats right and whats wrong according to the Bible. Im so happy you didn't compromise. Your story is just beginning. Im glad you found out early that your wife is not the right fit. As a black American, i look at you as a brother and my countrymen. You represent us well! And you already are the face of medellin on RU-vid to us gringos.
Yes l prefer a spiritual life over a religious one. It should not be a list of do's and dont's, or existing in a straight jacket but an individualized journey. I also hate the term " go to church". Not mandatory to have a rich and deep spiritual experience. I am sorry you had to deal with all of this and thank you for sharing I wish you well and stay strong.
