Hi All,

So back story here is that my boyfriend was getting with another girl behind my back and lying and just generally being a jerk.

So now, here i am single, but thats not what bothers me, its that he has someone to go to and i know i have God but i just want a human to talk to! is that bad of me? my ex (who is a non christian) has been posting photos of her and him having a wonderful time and then theres me, at home doing nothing, no money, and other than sundays no friends, its just that i feel forgotton about during the week, during my whole messy break up no one from my church was looking out for me and now im lonely, i try to pray but it just feels like theyre going no where at the moment. Im crushed and i dont know what to do, and im tired of it, i know these are satans lies, my mind knows this, but my emotions tell another story.

Dont know why i wanted to post this,

Just wanted to share.

Sorry about the rant, thanks for listening.

Ohhh I'm so sorry :(
He sounds like a *bad word* ^_^ haha

I'll talk to you about it! Feel free to pm me if you want?!
I think most of us girls can understand bad boyfriend drama.

I know its cheesy but its true what they say - Facebook is his highlights reel and you're comparing that to your everyday.
I'm sure you have lots of people who love you and care about you, you're probably just having a low moment.

You are chosen (Jeremiah 1:5)
You are wonderfully made (Psalm 139: 14)
You are redeemed (Romans 3:24)
God has a plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11)
You are a citizen of heaven (Phillipians 3:20)
You are loved (1 John 4:19)

Aw, sometimes it's really helpful to vent. I know you aren't asking for advice, but maybe it would be helpful to hide him or unfriend him on social media? It stinks that you'd have to see all that right now while you are recovering from that.

I know it's hard but you really should avoid looking at his pictures and stuff while you're healing. I'll pray for you :hug:

Yeah this.

Time and faith are the only two things that will heal those wounds, so give yourself time and immerse yourself in your faith.

What happened is a blessing in disguise. He was non-Christian, a liar and a cheat. You are fortunate to be without him.

What happens, though, when we leave a relationship after that long regardless of circumstances is seeing the world with new eyes. When you're with someone for that long, or even months, it's hard not to see the future without them in it. So if they're gone, the path ahead of you seems different, obscured, invisible or dark. How you navigate it is up to you and you alone now but it will be easier with time and as your heals wound your path will brighten up and you can travel it with a purpose.

Hopefully I'm not too late to the party, but take it from experience, stop looking at their social media! When you're bored, I understand you get these unreal urges to check this Facebook, but they will set you back EVERYTIME! You should treat their social media profile like a graphic website with disturbing images - because looking at your exes page can really have the same effect on your day.

Hey, how's things been lately? I hope that things are much better for you after the issues you had last year. Hopefully you have a new life rolling along now and things are a lot brighter.
