JourneyToSikhi

JatherdarSahib, Thank you for your response. I understand that I will have to take Amrit in order for him to honour his commitment. I'm starting to fall in love with Sikhi, so it is something I will consider. I think my thinking is too much "once a sinner, always a sinner" and maybe I need to learn forgiveness (but at the same time no wrong was done to me, so who am I to forgive). I'm not one to get taken up by these sinner to saint stories, I was shocked to my core when he revealed this to me because from the onset I thought he had lived somewhat of a clean life. I just think that if you want to take Amrit you should be mindful of your actions even when you are younger. I suppose I will have to see how it goes, thanks again

Hello everyone, I have found myself in a rather unique situation (well to me at least). Let me start by saying that I am not a Sikh, neither am I Punjabi. I recently started a "relationship" with a man who is Sikh (from Punjab). My partner is religious and has told me that at some stage he would like to take Amrit, as a result of this I have made a concerted effort to start learning about Sikhism as it such an important part of his life. Anyway, I understand that dating is not ideal in Sikhism and I must mention that we are not living together, nor do we share a physical relationship. We have both spoken about this and want to get married first. He has been honest with me and mentioned that he has had physical relationships with a quite a few other woman, the problem I am dealing with is that the majority of these woman were prostitutes. I feel that I cannot judge him for what he has done before I met him, and I can see that he is trying to make an effort to change a lot of his habits. However, in all honesty, I don't see how he can think of taking Amrit after having used prostitutes. Ok well, I hope this makes sense, basically I want to know what the stance is on prostitution and also should he repent for what he has done? Thank you
