  • 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

It's hard

Don't focus so much on moving on.
Focus on taking one day at a time and letting go.
Letting go means surrender.
Moving on, to me, implies you're trying to force something :)

I know it's just different wording, but I hope maybe it can help in some small way!

I'm finding it really hard to move on after the break up and it's only been 2.5 months. I gave everything to that girl that I loved so much. I'm praying to God daily for strength.

Also don't focus on how much you loved her or even currently do. When you say that its self fulfilling.

You need your time away from her, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

So i've been praying about God healing my heart and restoring my relationship with my ex so we can reconcile as friends or as a couple in the future, even though it hurts not knowing if i could spend the rest of my life with her. Even after what she did to me and if she came back crawling to me i would really spend some time praying to God about and I would ask what she really wants and how she wants its I have done my part and the rest is in God's an her hands. I know God has closed the door on it now, but he is a gracious God that can do all things. I am also praying that if he doesn't want us together in the future that he brings me woman who wants to be with me. I'm praying for healing either way. I struggle with it everyday. I have forgiven her, at least i think so and I hope God helps me in that area. This is something I want to be resolved and not hanging over me the rest of my life. I still pray for her everyday that God does something in her life for her good. But at the same time i know we are not together and her business is her business and mine is mine, so i'm riding a fine line right now. I guess if i worry about it i need to just give it to God.

I'm still taking it day by day. What I'm about to write is something I probably shouldn't read into, but after the way my ex treated me with the whole "harassment" email thing it's kinda hard for me and I'm more confused as ever, I just keep praying to God for Peace and Comfort through the whole thing. My mom ran into my ex the other day, they basically work in the same building. My ex ran right up to my mom and gave her hug they talked for 20 min and in the conversation, of course, the conversation turned to me my ex asked how i was doing and my mom put her on the spot and said,"well, he doesn't understand why you wanted to be married to him and said that he was the one for yourself just a month before all this happened, he's still puzzled but is moving on slowly." my mom said she looked down and had this cowardly look on her face and said, "yeah, I just can't right now." then after the conversation ended she gave my mom another hug. So she's still hiding something from me or she's doesn't know how to handle something in her life right now. I still pray for God's will and peace for me. It's very confusing and lonesome time, besides friend and fam. But, I'm getting better somewhat everyday.

:hug: Sometimes the confusing and not knowing is tougher than knowing everything, no matter how much knowing hurts. I hope that made sense :)

I want to encourage you... I know it's so hard... but really focus your energies on the Lord right now. I know you are.

Also, I love what you said about taking it day by day. That's so important.

Lastly, you are wise to recognize that you shouldn't' read too much into what happened b/w your mom and your ex. You weren't there to see exactly what happened or exactly how it happened, so it may be that your imagination takes this piece of info and runs with it... so I'd just caution you against getting your hopes up too much (I'm not saying you have. Just in case, though :) )

Still prayin' for you, bud!
