HI. I recently had to break up with my boy friend of two years because I found out he is gay. It has really devastated me. I did so much for him and invested so much time, effort, and love on him. Now I feel like the whole thing was just one big lie! I'm having trouble sleeping at nights and my days are filled with replaying the past and what he did that could have been signs and I did not even realize what was happening then. I can't believe someone could be so cruel to lead me on and pretend for so long that we were a couple when it wasn't even going to last anyway if I found out. It has sent me into a complete depression. Please help!!

OUCH!!!
I'm so sorry for you....
I had to break up with my last boyfriend, but not for that reason.
My ex is depressed all the time and it started rubbing off on me, he is also a cutter. So I had to break up with him, because that wasn't the kind of man I wanted to live my life and make a family with.
(I've only had 2 boyfriends, the last one, and my current one. I just want to make it clear that I don't juggle boys hearts.)
But I totally understand your depression.
And I can tell you how I dealt with it. But I'm not saying it's easy.... I finally decided that he wasn't my problem anymore. He wasn't worth my time of day.
Like I said, this isn't easy, it took me six months to get over it.
But I can promise you, with Gods strength, you can do anything....
I can't exactly tell you where this is found, in the scriptures, but God says:
"Cast upon me your every care."
Several times, God tells us to trust in him.
I believe God can help anyone through anything. Even you :)
Hang in there girl. ;)

Oh, sorry to hear about your ex but you made the right decision. I feel like its good I found out now too, because maybe later would be worse. Anyway, two years was still long to not say anything to me even when I asked him straight up if he was, he said 'NO'. I am aware also that I'm better off without him now, but its hard to just lose someone so quickly, that I thought would have been there for me for a long while. He spoke of having a child with me too. He made it appear as if we had a future together. All he could say was he was sorry. How can I just get over him after I had trusted and loved him and thought he'd keep his promises to me? I know I meant nothing to him now, and probably never did the whole time.. It's just rough... Its been a month now, I want to get over this real soon... It's ruining my life.

Thanks for the inspiring words. :)

We live in a fallen world with corrupt people. Sadly it seems to be growing more common that this happens. I actually recently met someone whose husband and father of their children announced he was gay and left her. But thats why it pays to take time in relationships and not rush, there are all kinds of behaviors people will hide and the more time you spend getting to know them the more likely you are to discover if there are things being hidden. Relationships are a risk. Period. Whether it's normal friendship or marriage you are putting yourself at risk to be hurt.
Chances are there were signs, especially after two years. I find people have an amazing capacity to ignore, make excuses for or just not see peoples faults in a relationship. All we can do is learn from our past relationships how to be more aware and vigilant for things in others we need to be cautious of and allow ourselves to see and face up to the red flags in people and not always brush aside or make excuses or ignore these things.
Sometimes when i'm going through a rough time i like to think how quick time passes. Then think how much better i'll feel 1 month.. 3 months.. 6 months etc.. than i feel at the time. Sometimes reminding yourself of that makes it more tolerable.

I completely understand... Broken hearts an broken promises are big things.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. I know how it feels.
But when this happened to me, I didn't have any help. People would ask me to tell them what was wrong, and I'd tell them, because I felt they might be able to help. They'd turn right around and tell me to get over it, or they'd tell me it was stupid to get into a relationship in the first place.
I don't want you to have to go through that.
If I had the words to help, I would say them. If I knew just how to help, I would. All I can say, is trust God, he knows what he's doing, and he loves you.
No mater what you do, he'll always be there for you. And when you cry, he's always there, crying with you.
God can see the big picture...he's the only one who does. So we have no choice but to trust him, he's the only one who knows what's going to happen, or in what way this will make you stronger.
God always has your best interest in mind.

Thanks guys... @ Ugly..I just never thought someone as decent looking and kind had such a horrible past and had such evil intentions to just lead me on and know he really never liked females anyway. The world is really getting corrupt. He could easily have said, he was not interested in me from the start and just leave me alone.. And yes!! I did see signs but he always had a quick comeback as to why a guy had texted him once calling him 'babes' and saying 'mwah'. He said he had met him on face book and never knew he was gay till after and so he would now tell him to leave him alone. I trusted he would and left it at that. I guess I had many chances to just get out, but I wanted to trust him and hoped he was a honest person.
He actually had a boyfriend as well and other lovers all along with me. He was like a male prostitute.

@ Blue Angel...I do really want t know if God has a plan for me now and what was I supposed to learn from all this? Also, did I need to be tried this hard and met such a cruel person to learn a lesson?

I'm praying though, God is just a prayer away fro me... :)

God does have a plan for you. :)
He has a plan for everyone... I want to know what mine is too :eek:
so when you find out how to get God to tell you...tell meeeee! :D
Maybe you were supposed to learn not to trust in the arm of flesh? That's not to say ALL people can't be trusted. But these days, it's kinda hard to find people who are straight...and honest. I honestly can't tell you what you need to learn...
but I wrote something to myself a while ago, and I'm going to share it with you:
Three T's For A Difficult Situation:
Think- God might have a lesson to teach you, look for it, practice it, and prepare to face the trials to prove your sincerity.
Try- Even when it seems impossible.
And the most important:
Trust- God knows what he's doing, he only wants you to be happy.

I know, I probably sound repetitive with this "trust God" stuff. But I mean every word of it.

Most breakups are difficult in my observations. This one sounds no different. But IT WILL pass and a new dawn will break for you.

You're going through the worst of it now. Time to SEEK SUPPORT from your real friends, family, and Christian assembly (don't be afraid of counseling). You need to share and you need hugs. Don't ISOLATE.

Of course, the people here will pray and talk with you. They're always here. They're awesome. See you in chat friend.

I do echo the sentiments of other posts and wish to add this....

It sounds to me like he has desperately tried to cover up his homosexuality, maybe for the sake of appearing to live a normal life. Sadly you have been very hurt in the process. It is possible that he never intended to hurt you like he has but he may have been too ashamed to show the truth. The battlefield in his mind therefore may have reasoned that if I can function in a heterosexual relationship then maybe these feelings will go away?

I am not sure if any of the above is correct or not. Is the above an excuse for how much he has hurt you? No. However it may help in understanding him. Could it be possible that he loved you, but has simply struggled with the lack of romantic love he feels?

No matter what the reasons, with all broken relationships we need to come to Jesus and surrender them to him. Pray and give him over to Jesus and pray for 'breaking the soul ties' between you both. Your own healing journey will be helped through some kind of Christian counselling if you can access some where you live.

I encourage you to take every opportunity to get out and about doing things. Spending time away from people when you feel miserable only makes you feel more miserable in my opinion. Get involved in activities/ home groups at your Church. Hang out with some girl friends. Organise something social. Plan a holiday....etc. Anything to get you back out there mixing with people. Look for ways to help and meet the needs of others, that can help take our eyes off our own misery.

No break-up is easy. The complicating factors within your case means you will struggle with feelings of inadequacy and rejection. It is ok! Acknowledge that to the Lord and ask for his healing power and look for someone Godly to talk about those feelings. Spend time soaking yourself in scripture about how awesome and valued you are in God's sight like Psalm 139.

Jesus will carry you through this. He also has the RIGHT person out there. He wasn't the right one...there is someone much better!

Hang in there...hang onto your faith. :)
Massive blessings

This is a very hard thing, and everyone handles these Breakup situations differently, depending on the Reason to choose to go seperate ways may be a pleasure and in agreement on both sides, to even the extend of reasons you have given us. After these breakups again, different people will handle these sorts of situations that if they can not handle there loos will kill themselfs.

In your case you have your own personality, what works for one, might not work for the other. Listen and pay attention to all the advices these posts will bring you and consider them if you believe its good and wise in your eyes and the eyes of Jesus Christ.

on my part what could i say, taking from your post your thoughts at the moment are all busy trying to the Clue the Hints or anything that you have missed that should of given you the sign that he was gay, wich sounds to me that your Mind, your Thoughts, even your Soul is being Consumed by these Meditations, and the State of your Heart should not look good as well.

Every Christian should learn to lean on Jesus Christ with all there Hearts and Thoughts, unfortunatly this must be Learned and the Proccess might be excelerated by Prayers and the Hearing of your Prayers by the Lord Jesus Christ. This takes time, learning to lean your throughts on him, his name or the cross, then your heart and soul is without Jesus Christ Divine intervention impossible.

Do this and through should notice a change within yourself within days or 1 week. Read as much of the Bible as you Desire i would recommend 5-10 chapters a day or more, this will help you, your Thoughts and Mediation will then try to find answers of what you have read in the bible instead of the clues or hints that you are searching for on your ex. Your thoughts will be filled with the worrys and glory, trouble and praise, the victories and power of God and his People in the Scripture, those meditation and mind set is healthy, it will point you directly to Jesus Christ. Even now i may say Departing of the Sea by Gods Hands, and for a glimps your mind set created and image your thoughts even for a second focused on how it would look like.

Then Pray 3 times a Day, at the moment do not pray for anything less then for Patients, for it will take time and you must be patient with yourself and Jesus Christ. Daniel Prayed 3 Times a Day although he had a full schedual working for the King of Babylon, 3 times a Day infront of an Open Window. This will highly increase your Spirituality conversing with the Lord Jesus Christ 3 times a day.

Be Patient with yourself, through the Grace of Jesus Christ, for he has given you the Holy Spirit and Blessings, for without them Reading the Bible would only serve if man chooses as a Book of Laws, and wich is better find Wisdom. But because you Believe reading even here and some there, the Holy Spirit will Jump start your Spirituality. Then wenn you are set, in peace in Jesus Christ, sound mind, calmness and without troubles if you still Desire, pray that Jesus Christ will then answer any Questions that concernce your past with your Ex.

Grace of Jesus Christ and willing to Help you is the Key.

Thanks guys for all your inspiring words! :) @Loria ...I am taking each day step by step.. Today I woke up feeling like I could e-mail him with some type of analysis about how he treated me ...but then I just said to myself to just leave things alone now...and forget trying to do this. I don't think it makes sense...It's not like I want him back or that he will even be phased by this message so... I won't bother.

You see guys I just really loved him and wanted us to work so bad..I just didn't know he had this dark side.
@Joy- I really think he was confused and didn't really know what side he wanted..he even said it himself - " I didn't want to lose you, I wanted you to change me." I do wanna get away but I don't have a large friend base and I wouldn't want to go on a trip alone... I have two teenage kids who I have to look after.

I will read your bible passage.

Laters.

I'm still finding hard to deal with..! :( I just cant get over how much of myself I invested into this relationship and how I thought I had finally found the one, I could just stop looking now..and just build on what I had!!! Instead I'm here alone now, he's gone, all my dreams of us and our future are dashed. I've gotta start all over again-- looking for someone new, building up trust again, going through the getting to know you stuff..I had wanted to just start life with him and rest in his arms forever! It's like a nightmare..and I just want to wake up and realize its not true. I can hear his voice calling my name in my head and it haunts me for he'll never do that again and I'm gonna miss that!! :( I''m never gonna see his smile or feel his touch..It hurts so much!! :_(

Girl you pray over him
That is a SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL and he is a lie!
Pray for him, love him enough to pray that his eyes are opened to the lies of the enemy
I know you are hurt but he needs your prayers

@ChristianVegan, You and others have said that that's what i need to do, but right now all I really have enough spirit for is to pray for myself! I am in a turmoil everyday since and I have been seeking God's spiritual healing in my life since.. Its not been easy at all! It's just so hard to describe to others how I really feel inside because it is as if my whole being was destroyed by his deception. So, for me to think of his healing and for him to gain insight into his misdoings, that is just not possible for me to do!

I am currently experiencing a break up. Nothing like this. My opinion is that yes it sucks to feel like you've been lied to all this time. You will dig a deeper whole in depression trying to figure out how you didnt see the signs. The only positive thing here is that you know now. Thats what is important! I dont know your whole situation but maybe he is confused and as much as it hurts you. The best thing you can do is pray for him. And as far as getting over it....stay in constant communication with God. God doesn't promise our lives to be perfect..but with him we can get through anything. I belive God has a purpose for ourlives and I know he has one for you. It may take time and heartache...but he knows whats best for you. I think he also allows things to happen to make us stronger people. I will pray for you in this time. I don't know the correct answer for you but I pray God will lead you...and it may not be today or tomorrow or in a year. But keep faith!!
