I'm sorry you had to go through that. But yes, you got that last part right. The first part you wrote shows that he really didn't feel a deep love for you. It was just superficial (shallow).
Wow I guess he really didn't love me then or he would still be here...

I think that you were drowninf in a sea of loneliness and despair and then this guy put a smile on your face for awhile. It is not a sin to date a non-Christian but probably unwise to do so. The guy dumped you because he is not really into you and you take up too much of his time and energy. My counsel is to forget this guy, take some time to be by yourself and organize your priorities on what is really important to you in a prospective spouse. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.

Why do you have to be so rude about it? It was a chunk of a sentence because I couldn't start a new paragraph because of the limited space.

Well I have contamination OCD, it has been getting better though. But I think I need someone to read my whole story & then give me advice. Thanks anyway.
Everyone here has a story to tell. Thank you for sharing a chapter of your life. It was a very interesting read.

Yes I think I really believe this :( because if he truly loved me he wouldn't of left me even if he couldn't stand the fighting he would of atleast given us a break right? His love for me turned to hate?
Apparently, he never did have love for you but perhaps you were an interesting diversion for a season. There is no shortage of peeps here that have been in horrible dead-end relationships including myelsf. Some have told a horror story on these various threads and pages.

First, no intention to be rude or judge. Just my opinion. Just because you love someone doesn’t mean it’s the right time, person or place. Second, co habitation is never a good idea nor a good idea to move in with a mans family especially when you are not married. I live alone but wow I would be uncomfortable living with my brother and his girlfriend. And cat poop and moldy mess ? Oh I can’t go there. I don’t care if it isn’t my home I’m donning gloves and a mask and cleaning that mess up or heading back to my own place.
I wish you Gods blessings. I think you need to accept what is. Wish him well and let him go as painful as that is. If I broke things off with a man and he continued to try to contact me I would feel uncomfortable. Take some time for you. Be kind to you ! God bless.

Yes he said he would love me forever even if he broke up with me he will always love me.

I was wondering that too, how can you love someone & then break up with them? But he said "You can love someone but not be with them"

I understand, but that person up there offended me when they said "I have more issues than that guy" I don't feel like I need to be judged when I have admitted to it being my fault. Like did you not read what I said? I feel like I'm being ignored on here. Maybe I should go somewhere else. You don't have to be rude & say I have issues when I am saying I realize the sins I have comittted.
Let me explain since my quick before work post wasn't as kind as it could have been: I did not mean to imply that you are more messed up than the guy you were seeing. I meant to say that it sounds like there are things in your life much bigger than this one particular relationship that have been driving you to repeatedly make unhealthy and unwise choices. And I would predict that you will continue to have relationships fail on you in one way or another until you discover and address those things, and I don't want to see anyone heap that kind of pain on themselves. It sounds like you're already taking steps to address these things and that's great. But I'm still going to say that no, I don't think this relationship can be put back together in a healthy way and it will be better for all parties concerned to move on.

And yes you can love someone but decide that they are not a healthy person to be around so you won't be around them anymore. It stinks and it hurts, but it is possible for a variety of reasons. It's also possible to love someone and yet let them become less a part of your life because in order to accommodate some better things in their life they aren't going to have as much time for you. And yes it's pretty normal to feel like you weren't good enough to get it when you don't get what you want, but there are other ways to view not getting what you want. Sometimes (I'd say most of the time actually) it's God keeping you from doing something foolish that you'll regret for decades rather than God punishing you for any failing.

You wrote multiple extremely lengthy posts, and did so without creating a single paragraph, so chances that people read all of that are quite thin.
And you've responded defensively and argumentively over and over again when people attempt to offer you advice... that you asked for.
If you're going to write That much, and have so many posts responding to people each with it's own full post, don't expect that everyone read all of them. It's an unreasonable expectation to place on people, and seeing how poorly you respond on top of it is a continued deterrent.
If you want help then have realistic expectations for others, stop playing a martyr, stop defending your actions and try to be Appreciative that people are taking the time to try and help at all.
PS look up the word judging. The way you so casually throw it around it doesn't seem you understand the True meaning of it.

Yes I am so lonely I have no friends in my life He was my bestfriend. I think I got hurt because he wasn't Christian he wasn't compassionate towards me so I want to pray for God to send me a Godly man when I am ready.

It hurts hearing that but I know it's the truth. I took up too much of his time & he didn't see me as being worthy.

I want to be single for awhile & wait on God because my heart needs to heal. Even thought of another guy makes me just think of him. Someone told me that if I wanted a Godly man I should pray for what his personality is like, what he looks like & what values I want him to have, should I pray for all of those things or will God know what I need when I say please send me a Godly man?

Thank you for your kindness & not judging me. I'm happy to have joined this group. God bless you

Yes I agree, I sinned in moving in with him when I wasn't married to him. I want to be better & not have sexual relations before marriage anymore, I want a Godly man in my life when God thinks I'm ready.

Yes I cleaned up the whole apartment twice & it took me hours, then they would mess the place up again the next day. I was always wanting to go home & when the flea infestation took place I had to go back home.

That's true, I just thought we could be friends. He said he still wanted me in his life & to be friends someday so I'm just confused. Thank you for your help, may God bless you too.

Thank you for your apology. I'm sorry that I misunderstood you. You are totally right, I have a lot of my own issues & then I took them all out on him which caused him to break up with me. I've been trying to get myself better I've been going to church reading the bible talking in my Christian chat going for walks taking care of my dog & cat getting exercise cooking & baking vegan food reading Christian books to get me closer to God going to bible study group at church thinking of things that are heavenly "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. " - Philippians 4:8

So do you think its wrong to pray for him to get saved and come back into my life when we are both healthy & healed from the fighting if we live more Godly? I am becoming a better Christian & I want to pray for his soul too, I believe that if two people really love eachother they will always come back what is meant to come back will be in your life if God allows it, so if he doesn't come back then it's not God's will. But I don't think its impossible if we are taking care of ourselves & living a more Godly life that we can atleast be friends anything is possible with God.

That's true I've read that today also that it's God protecting you from something & preparing you for something greater. I know that He has hope for me & a future "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

Well I tried created a paragraph but it didn't give me any more room. Should I delete this if people won't read it?

How poorly I respond? Why wouldn't I take it personal when someone says I have more issues then the guy when I have apologized and admitted my wrongdoings in my post there is no reason to point out my faults when I am admitting I was in the wrong, why make me feel worse?

You really are not acting like a kind hearted Christian and I wish to talk to other people who will lift me up. Good day

I think that part of the healing process for both of you will be to let go of any future expectations. By all means pray for him to be saved and that God would have his way in this man's life, I'm all for that. I just don't think it very wise to be asking for him back while you're trying to get over him and be healed from the stuff that went wrong. And I would imagine that it would be very hard to be back in each other's lives and not naturally fall into the familiar and unhealthy patterns of relationship that you'd previously established, at least not anytime in the near future.


I'm sorry. How do I make it better for people to read? Do I post it in like four postings so they are shorter?
I think there's a character limit for each post, not sure how long it is but yeah blank lines probably eat into that limit. Still more readable to keep things in shorter paragraphs than one big run together wall even if it means an additional post.

Here is the rest of my post: Do you think it would be okay to try & reach out to him in 6-7 months? We got in a fight about how he broke his promises & he said that I broke my promises too & he said he didn't wanna block me but he will if I didn't give him time & space, I told him he might as well block me that he didn't love me anymore, & so he blocked me on facebook & instagram. He didn't reply to my text messages either. I haven't seen him in over 2 months. He also said something that confused me, he said "Someday I'll explain myself to you. But I can't right now." What does this mean? He already explained why he broke up with me, what else is there to explain?

Even though he wasn't a Christian like me, I miss him like crazy. Even though he was an Athiest, he was not like the other jerks I dated who were abusive to me. He was kind, sweet, & a gentleman to me, we had a lot of fun together & he made me laugh & smile. He even told his friends how much we have in common & that I was an awesome girl. All that has changed now. Now he doesn't want anything to do with me. It makes me cry how he doesn't love me anymore. He said one time that he was sad that I didn't love him anymore, but now I am sad that he doesn't love me anymore, he was the one who ended it. He went from saying I was the nicest girl he's ever met, to saying I was evil & calling me names. I'm so heartbroken. Why can't he think of the good times that we had like how we laughed & played Kendama & we were kind & sweet to one another & we went for drives to the snowy mountains & we went to the movies & had an amazing time at the state fair playing games, riding the rollercoaster & eating fairfood, how he held my hand when we were together & hugged me & how we went to look at the Christmas lights, why can't he remember all of the good times instead of the not so good times? He said he wil always remember how I taught him to take better care of himself by doing his laundry more & buying more clothes for himself & going grocery shopping. He said he wasn't happy a lot he threatened suicide a lot when we were fighting. He always thought he was fat & ugly. I would tell him he was handsome all the time I was his biggest cheerleader I tried to make him feel better about himself. I truly believe that we loved eachother. We sent eachother cute texts all the time, we would hug & kiss & say how much we missed eachother, it wasn't all just fighting. But all he can think about is the fighting he won't think about the good memories we've had =(

I've done everything I can. I've emailed him & gave him a heartfelt apology. I told him I was sorry about everything, I took ownership of how it was my fault the relationship ended & that I was so sorry & I should of treated him with more respect. I told him I was bettering my life & getting my OCD under control, that I was getting closer to God & going back to church, that I was exercising everyday, I told him I was sorry for starting fights with him, I told him that I was sorry for depending on him for everything & for depending on him for my happiness, I told him I wish I had another chance to make it right because I'm different now I've really been trying to find happiness & be a better person, I told him I know that he probably won't get back together with me but when he is ready can he give me a chance to be his friend? I said I know that if we were to hang out as friends I would not cause any fights with him at all that I would be in a good mood & we could go hang out at the park for awhile & then he could go home after that, I have learned my lesson in not starting fights because it led to him breaking up with me, so I would be on my best behavior if we were to hang out as friends. I said I still want him in my life even if we are just friends, I can't imagine never seeing him ever again. It brings me to tears. How can someone who loved me, who I thought I would marry, do this to me? He saw me cry, he saw me have panic attacks, but he still broke my heart. I understand that he was tired of me saying "I'll change" & then I ended up yelling at him or sleeping all day, I understand that it's my fault he left. But he also said that even if we didn't fight or anything every weekend, he would still miss hanging out with his friends & that could of caused a break up too, he said he needs to be around his family & friends again. One of the last things he said to me was that we can be friends someday but not right now, that he doesn't know when we can be friends but he needed time to heal from me & he told me to move on. There's no way I can talk to him because he blocked me on facebook & instagram. What do I do now? All I can do is wait, he won't talk to me or email me back.... my heart is broken. I know that if a man wants to talk to you, he will. If a man wants to be with you, he will. If a man wants to make things work, he will. That you shouldn't have to beg a man because he will chase after your own heart if he wanted to. But it's so tormenting because I love him, if I didn't love him I wouldn't care if he broke up with me I wouldn't care about talking to him again. But he is all I ever think about, I beg God all the time for him to talk to me, I just wanna be his friend, it doesn't even have to be a sexual relationship, I just wanna spend time with him. I'm afraid that I'll never get the chance to make it right again because I messed up.

Please if you can give me any advice I would really appreciate it, I'm so sad. I don't want to live the rest of my life without him...
Well Callie - I did read your whole post and what I am going to say is probably not the kind of thing yo're going to want to hear. Here it is anyway and it can be summarized by saying this - the advice you seek isn't going to be available to you. The cat's already out of the bag. You're dealing with a consequence of actions and not an opportunity of choice

I hope I don't sound like I'm preaching here but you said you knew premarital sex was sinful. But did you know why? Did you know what that does, what it causes? Do you understand you're on a broken road now? A directionless road? When God commanded his people of Israel with over 630 different laws (not counting all the temple laws) do you think He was doing that to hear himself talk? No, of course not. He was trying His best to make life as enjoyable and fruitful as possible. After all, He started it all in a garden where everything was perfect - the weather, the food, everything. But the consequence of a sinful act distorted the path He knew would be good. Another sin made it crooked some more till soon the consequence of sin made the life difficult and confusing and unhappy where one is lost in their own consequences with no clear choices available.

That's where I think you're at. And this is also your opportunity for new choices. I couldn't tell you whether your relationship with this man would lead to marriage or not and frankly, it's immaterial. What I can tell you is you sold yourself. You gave intimacy to a person without commitment from either him or yourself and you did these things not knowing whether your Father in Heaven was for this or against this. You made no mention of this. At all.

This is the broken road. You can continue down this maze of a rabbit hole or you can make new choices. Know, though, that it saddens God to see His child so unhappy and confused and unsure. Know too, that Christ was sacrificed by His blood on the ground for your very soul. He forgives you Callie - but please remember this: He does not forgive the sin. The sin goes on and corrupts your world like mine does mine, like all who reads this and all who don't.

I will pray you choose to understand what God wants for Callie and to read His word, and to understand that His desire for your life is not borne of a Father's uncompromising strictness. It is borne of Love.

You only have five minutes to edit. You can't change your post now. Any of then.

As I stated you wrote a LOT so you have to expect that not everything you wrote was read. So if someone brings up something you mentioned already it could very well be they couldn't make it through everything you wrote. Hence my statement that need to adjust your expectations in light of the size of what you wrote and expect it not to have all been read.

Many people want to be lifted up in some positive manner, but when once the best thing that can be said is what's honest and necessary then giving positivity is actually detrimental.
I said what I said because it seemed to be the best thing I could find to say and something you needed to hear. For Your benefit. But as long pat's on the back prioritize hard truths things will continue to be the same for you.
