Hi Princess,
wow 10 years older at 17? yeah leaving God out of the equation is a garenteed disaster.
Secret relationships are never a good idea, it looks like you have something to hide. Plus, it means you can't turn to anyone when you need advice or help with your relationship, and if you knew your parents wouldn't approve, than I can honestly say that God was not in it.
I totally understand your problem though, being young and looking for love. I made the same mistake when I was 17 going to meet a girl I met online just after my parents kicked me out of the house, and neither one of us came from a Christian home.
wow, um He litterally said those things? than why did he want to get back together with you for the second time? and what made him think those things?
What kind of guy are you dating? and why would you want a relationship with a guy like that? Honestly, if your too immature for him, and he doesnt love you as much. I can tell you right now you two were not meant to be together.
A guy that hurts you this much on purpose is not a guy you want to be involved with. Yeah if he found someone else, it would be wise to forgive him for his wicked ways and move on yourself, otherwise he is just going to keep playing these games with you.
I'm not going to lie to you, I was a troubled child, did things I'm not proud of, made my fair share of mistakes, didn't grow up in a Christian home, and then got diagnosed with a mental illness after I got kicked out of the house and by God's standards and by mens standards, I'm still a far better guy than the guy you've been dating.
Since he is a friend of the family, just treat him like an acquantance. Don't waste you'r time on him, and if you do see him, just keep your distance, say hi, how are you? and don't do any where past that. Just be polite and curtious to him when and if you see him, but don't go out of your way for him.
Yeah what he has done, is a clear indication that he may infact be a wolf in sheeps clothing. I can't see anything that would indicate that he is a Christian based upon what you wrote. Look Princess I know you feel helpless, but you'r not helpless, Look at the bright side of this, he is someone elses problem now. You can ask God for wisdom and guidance and look for a man that will love you the way God intends, and treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve.
Ever heard the saying good riddens to bad rubbish? You sound like a very sweet young woman, with a big caring heart, don't let one jerk ruin that. Praise God he is gone and moved on and you can find a better man who is worth his weight in gold.
Hey guys,
I could really use some advice/encouragement rn at this hard time. Let me explain my story so you know what's going on. I have been dating a guy for around 3 years, a guy who was 10 years older to me. I was 15 when I met him and dated him at 17. He was from my church, christian, smart, funny and most of all, loved God. Knowing my parents would disapprove, I was in a "secret" relationship with him, in which he told me not to tell my family or things would end. I loved him more than anything....my first love, put my heart fully towards him and in the process, left God out of it. Through the relationship, he told me that I was the girl he was going to marry, that God sent me to him and would read me the relationship verses in the Bible. Being so young, and even now at 19, I still dont understand why my life led up to this point.
This year, he broke up with me 2 times then came back. During the breakups, he claimed that I was too controlling, manipulating, dint want him to live his life and most of all didn't "care" bout him..when I was literally hiding my whole life from my family. I would lie, sneak out and do all sorts of stuff to meet him so I could make him happy. Distance and age would not allow us to hang as much or know each others friends...also the secret thing.
last month, he broke up with me and claimed all these things I did wrong. He blamed me completely for the breakup and told me he made a mistake being with me. He said he didn't love me "as much" in the second and third year. He said im too immature and he wants to settle down and get married.(hes 29 now). A week after we broke up he went on a date. Today, being a month later he decided to tell me he is dating someone and really likes her. They might get engaged next year. Im broken, devastated and feel so betrayed for being left like this. After all my lying, sneaking and trying to please him, he just left me...the one person I trusted the most in my entire life. He is with someone else in 1 month guys!!!! I thought being christian, he wouldnt have done something like that to me or Hurt me like this. I trust in God and know that he is out of my life for a reason....but I get anxious and depressed with the thought of him being with someone else. Especially cause its so soon.
I dont know how I will see his wedding pics...engagement...whatever else. He is a family friend btws making this situation a whole lot worse than it is. I feel helpless.
