Hello I am 20 year old college student and have been dating my girlfriend for over 2.5 years and yesterday she found out I cheated on her over a year ago. But she found out and broke up with me instantly. We are both Christians but we don't to to church as much as needed, but I pray every night and I'm pretty sure she does to. But now she said she can never take me back but she is my first love we met in high school go to the same college and everything, and for the last 2 days my life is terrible I can't focus, i have no appetite, I begged and pleaded to her for a 2nd chance to change and I know if she was to give me another chance I would be a great man for her but she seems like nothing will change. I have prayed and asked her to pray but nothing seems to make her give me another chance, please I need help I love her more than I loved anyone and made a terrible mistake. What do I do?


You will be ok. You have no move on. She won't change her mind unless God changes it for her. Cheating is a very serious thing. God as forgiven you already but its harder for people. I think you must understand where she is coming from and how hurt she is and pray for her heart. God Bless.

I don't know if you actually regret cheating? Sounds more like you regretted her finding out? Clearly, you can't love her that much, you seem to love yourself more and are being very selfish here by expecting her to trust you still. All you mention is how you feel, did you not consider how she may feel?

Accept the consequences of your actions.
Shouldn't have cheated on her if you wanted to keep her. People don't like to be cheated on. It s not an uncommon thing to not take someone back that cheated on them.

First loves just mean there is the possibility of more loves to come. You cheated on her. She doesn't want a man that cheated on her. She did what she needed to do for herself so now you do what you need to do for herself and obviously it isn't waiting for her to come back around.

Learn your lessons and find something better.

I would suggest you seek God. Find a church, go to it, pray and read the word of God.

Your girlfriend can change her mind. But it will take God to do it, and it might take months.

The Lord tells us to rest in Him and to be at peace. Just do that. When you get at peace with God, He can work miracles.

Just keep praying and do not pressure her. She isn't going to listen as long as you pressure her. Pray that God talks to her.

She might not come back, it is true. But God might want you two together. It has to be God at this point because you hurt her.

The problem with going back is that she might always hold it against you, rubbing it in, being mad. Maybe God will deliver you from that (He can in more than one way). But you really need to seek God now not seek your own will (which is trying to convince her).

Seek God. Only He can change things.
