I feel like it's really dumb to do this. But I'm at a last resort. I know I'm supposed to trust God in his ways and promises, but sometimes it just doesn't look possible. Which I understand it's normal to feel like this sometimes in our walk with God but I want to believe in what He promised.
A couple of years ago, my boyfriend me and broke up. It was a mutual thing, I felt God telling me it was going to happen. And he felt God tell him to as well. But we didn't want to. We cried so hard, neither of us wanted to do it. But we obeyed. And then after we obeyed, God promiseed us that he would bring us back to each other.
That was a really long time ago... about 2-3 years ago.
Over that time, my ex sort of "forgot" the promise... although his walk with God is still as strong as ever (mine is as well). Soon he stopped believing in the promise, even thought the year before, he was so sure of the promise. I was so confused because we were best friends/lovers. We were supposed to work together.
I said I would wait. No matter what. Even if I'm the only one.
Now after all this time has passed, we aren't the same. We don't even talk or glance at each other. But the promise that God made just keeps coming back. God will bring it up when I read my bible or I'm listening to a simple podcast. I'm literally so confused. I know I'm not supposed to look at the circumstance at hand and just believe. But it's hard when the person you love doesn't remember or believe in the promise. Even though we both fully heard the promise and made sure of it. I don't understand Gods plan, but it's been so long... I wonder if anyone else has ever gotten a promise from God, if so, was it worth the wait?
(Yes, before we were together Jesus was a huge part of our relationship and is even after the breakup)

If neither one of you wanted to break up in the first place then why did you do it? How did you determine that God was now promising to bring you back together after telling you to break up?

Apparently your ex has decided to move forward with his life without you. My advice is for you to do the same. Sorry, yes I know that this hurts.

Glad to have you join us. Hopefully, you will find comfort, support and understanding from the members of this site. Welcome to CC.

I'm not really looking for answers, just comparing people's thoughts.
