I know what it's like to be dumped. Last summer, my boyfriend of 2 and a half years - who I ADORED - broke up with me. I was very depressed too and lost weight and was in tears a lot. I am now with someone else, and he is - dare I say it? - more special than the previous guy. I didn't think it...

It's probably been about 6 months since I "properly" cut. How time flies. I haven't even been trying.

I was with a guy who was 3 years older than me for 2 and a half years. All my boyfriends were older. My boyfriend of 5 months is 2 and a half years younger than me. I'd never have forseen it working, but it does. His age is not an issue, we get on like a house on fire.

I don't know if I would want to know. It would probably make me feel terrible, as I'm pretty insecure like that.

Firstly, :hug: a big hug. I totally understand where you're coming from, but in a slightly different way. I constantly look up to my "old" self, so much so that I think I put myself on a pedestel. When I was about 14, I was (in my eyes) a really good person and a good Christian. Now, I feel...

Physical beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I really believe this... When you like someone, you end up loving how they look like, even if it had not previously been your "ideal". When I was with my ex-boyfriend, everything about him seemed perfect to me. I loved the way he looked. Even...

I think a lot of people wish they were prettier cos of [insert particular physical insecurities here]. Heck, I could give you a list of the things I'd change about myself. But when looking for a boyfriend... I dont think it matters what you look like. This is gonna sound like SUCH a cliche...

I'm in a similar situation... My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years just broke up with me... and it hits hard. I guess it's those 2 things that we all hate; time, and patience. Time heals. Cry out to God. Your feelings aren't just gonna go away. You will need to grieve for a while. It really hurts, but...

I totally hear you. I know exactly what you mean. I vary between those 2 conflicting emotions... contentedness and discontentedness. Like you, I've just come out of a serious relationship with a Christian guy, and I'm not even entirely sure of the reasons it had to finish. But, like you said...

I just look for someone I get on well with, who can make me laugh and smile, and who loves me and cares for me back. Physically... I never normally go for blondes. But I'm not hugely fussy. Tend to prefer skinny guys though, not sure why.

Thanks Pyrogenesis, that's really helpful.

I just started antidepressants. No one is monitoring me. Ah well.

*hug* We need to talk more on MSN! *more hugs*

I am considering fasting for the healing of my boyfriend's health problems. Is this Biblical? I don't really know very much about fasting, so any verses/insights/whatever would be really helpful. Thanks!

I would say that age gap is pretty huge... What is the guy like? Are you both praying about this and stuff? I guess, leave it with God. He will let you know if this is right or not.

Thanks for all the replies. I know being single will be fine, it's just weird for me. (I didn't mean to offend anyone by suggesting singledom is not OK) I loved the guy... And I thought we were going to last. It just hurts so much at the moment and it's hard to see that there is a better...

So I can now officially post in this forum... My boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me 2 weeks ago.... *sniff* I'm lonely. Reassure me that being single is OK! Cos it's gonna take some getting used to. :sigh:

That's amazing! Congratulations servant4ever! What an inspiring achievement :)

Your counsellor does not care, and he told you that? :scratch: Hmm.. Do you find him helpful? Or is he just one of those counsellors who keeps a considerable amount of professional distance? If you need someone to talk to about your SI, your feelings, whatever, then I'm always here. I'd...
