I need prayer and advice

[BenevolentB]

I just need some prayer and advice...

My boyfriend and I recently broke up about a month ago. One minute everything is fine we were talking about marriage someday, etc. And then the next he says that he prayed about it and thinks that God told him that I'm not the one he's meant to be with.

What is getting me is admittedly I have slacked quite a bit in my walk. Yes, I went to church and so on but he feels that if he were to fall I wouldn't be there to pick him back up because I have been so weak. But, although he's prayed about it and said that God has showed him signs that I'm not the one he's mean to be with he says that he's not ruling it out in the future if things change with me. Am I just keeping my hopes too high? I miss him terribly and can't imagine my life without him.

He broke up with you because you're not being religious enough for him? That guy is trouble.

I find it amusing when people use God as an excuse to break up.

"God gave me this feeling that I'm not suppose to be with you" usually means that his own feeling have changed and he needs an excuse to break it off. It's sad, but this is the way that people work a lot of the time. What's even sadder is the people who actually convince themselves that feelings are brought on by God when 9 times out of 10 it's brought on by their own human emotion.

God told him no such thing, he wanted too.

Bingo

I'd forget about this guy. Concentrate and strengthen your own walk, and find someone different.

You may need to work on your faith a bit, but thats not an excuse for him to basically say "God told me to break up with you."

If he does come back, I wouldn't be with him. He's demonstrating his own lack of committment. If you had compeletly left the faith, then I would understand breaking up with you. Because you shouldn't marry a non-Christian. But from the way it sounds, your faith is just weakened. In that case if he was committed, he would encourage you to work on it, not just leave you for it.
