  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yes, a girl problem. :(


I felt it on my heart to (gently) break up from my girlfriend of six months. Very close relationship. I'm a new believer, and she became one a while back, but she doesn't behave at all like one. She's very controlling, often demanding to know who I've been talking to and then not speaking to me when I admit that I had casual conversation with another girl. She's had a rough life, though, so I understand her tendencies. :\ She's very delicate underneath her thick skin and barriers that she put up. It's just that she's more of an adult than anything, and I can't handle such a serious relationship. I care SO much about her, but she feels like I simply don't want anything to with her. I DO. I've been trying to show her that, but... She's taking it really hard. She hates me. >_< Am I doing the right thing? Or am I simply hurting her feelings for no reason?


Pray for me. I need strength right now. To follow this through, if this is the way I'm supposed to be going.

People who talk about committing suicide are more likely to actually do it. If you think she is in crisis, do not hesitate to speak with a professional.

If you are in a suicide crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org) or contact the Samaritans (a UK group) -- http://www.samaritans.org.

Still praying for you both.

Hi

From what you wrote, I assumed that you are both new believers. Well, welcome to the Kingdom of God.

I like to humbly suggest that both of you make efforts and time to grow in Christ first. It can solve lots of your current problems. But it takes time.

Spend time reading the bible together (e.g. she takes 5 verses, you take 5 verses), keeping in mind that you want to build a Christ-centered life in both of you. And making time for such study also allow the Holy Spirit to work in her life and yours too.
And pray together as well. You can believe that God can help her supernaturally too.

You sound like you have made a mature decision; stay to it!
Don't let her manipulate you by threats of harm; just be sure you alert someone who can evaluate and help her.
Then pray for her and be there if she needs you to listen IF you feel you can handle it.
SHE must find purpose and happiness for her own life; NOTHING you say or do can do that.
I will be praying for you and your friend... for your light and peace, and for her healing.

I'm not sure if you understand... she hates me now. We had been together for six months BEFORE I accepted Christ. She had done so before me, but... not really stuck to it. Now that I see things differently, I found our relationship was not what God was nudging me towards. Now she is angry and hurt, and I can't help but try and, well, HELP. I try to talk to her all the time, but she's just awful.

I'm between a rock and a hard place. Thank you so much for all the prayers and support, everyone. God bless you all. D:

Father God, I pray that You will grant this one wisdom and discernment that he may know what to do in this situation. I pray and ask that whatever he chooses that feelings will be spared. I pray and ask that You will lead his girlfriend to get the help she needs. Grant her healing and both of them peace together or apart, In Jesus Name, Amen
