• 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.

IS it just a front?

Hi,
I'm asking for advice, and from people who know best on this issue. My ex and I were dating for 3 months and really liked each other but he struggled greatly with his sexuality. He's been a non Christian for about 10 years (raised and they fell away from) and thus has been having sex for most of those. He told me he needs to not be around me because of the temptation...is this true? I guess it's like a smoker can't be around cigarettes when they're trying to quit...or am I being jerked around.
Could someone please give me some guidance in this area?
Thank you!
Amy :confused:

He wants to be free to have sex and has decided against following God. He will find it very difficult to have you there and not want sex with you. I imagine you are the one holding out. Also he is used to having new partners. he may have already established a pattern that will persist longer than any one relationship.

What sort of guy are you really wanting to be together with?
