It's extremely uncomfortable and like you, I no longer attend. I don't know what the answer is and really not sure there is one given the fact that we are human. I wish you luck. For now though, in my own life, I will stay at home and read His Word and stay in prayer. -----------------

Personally, I believe both of us should find a church. It's all about trying to be closer to our Lord. I believe a good church can help us with that.

It's a shame we both feel uncomfortable going church because we don't feel that we fit "the profile." Fortunately for me, Christ is accepting of some "dysfunctional" folks (not married with the 2.2 children).

I may feel a little uncomfortable going to church alone but I also realize that our savior paid a great price for us. I guess I need to get over the pettiness of my "slight discomfort" and find a place that's right for me. Hopefully we can both find a place that is good for us.

You are right. And this is just an observation from where I am. It is less uncomfortable for a man. No...I’m not a feminist or one who yells about discrimination however, it is different for women. Older single women (not those that are widowed) are looked at unfavorably or with pity which is disgusting. Can’t explain it but I don’t feel too encouraged it will be any different in any other church.
