• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My girlfriend and I had the greatest relationship I could have ever been given to by God. I honestly believe God put her in my life because we were just so good for each other. I am a junior in college, as is her, and we had been dating for 1.5yr. There was honestly nothing wrong with our relationship; it only got better as time went on. The only thing was that at the very beginning of our relationship, I kissed another girl and never told her about it. Trying to do what was right, I told her about it now and after a hellish weekend, she broke it off with me. I don't disagree with what she did, I just wish it would have turned out differently. To make matters worse, we had a huge fall out where we cussed and yelled at each other. She was my best friend and my lover, and I have been praying nonstop asking God to take the pain away, but I still feel like running away. She was my best friend and vice versa. Is there any advice one could give me?

You can be humble and try to reconcile (which will take much care and perseverence), or just shrug it off as a lost cause and look for someone new. Maybe you should wait awhile to let her calm down before trying to apologize and show your heart to her. You would'nt want her to throw it back in your face.

Broken hearts heal, but meantime they are very painful. Maybe you will reconcile. But if she has reacted like that it shows a fragility that may have an ugly side later in life. Time will tell, but personally I would be cautious about someone who responded as she did. Life is full of upsets and hard times. We need a genuine partner who we can walk together with supportively for a marriage to function well.
