What do I do?

[JezJ]

So, long story short:
There's this guy. I honestly feel like God intends for us to be together (as in, he could be my husband), though I'm not really sure if I want to be with him. We have history together...and he definitely has some problems...and they're pretty big, but so far, I've been able to get past them.

Yesterday, I asked him a question about God and he basically said (without actually saying it) that he doesn't believe in God anymore. It stunned me, because I've known him for 4 years, and from day 1 he told me he believed -- his name is even Christian. I don't know how to get past this one. We've gotten through/past most problems -- including depression, bipolar disorder, and cutting -- but this one...I'm at a loss.

What am I supposed to do?
I'm a person that believes in dreams (that's what I've been taught), and my dreams have a track record (believe it or not). I've had dreams about him...about us...so it's really confusing. I'm starting to feel like I should just forget this guy (even though I've tried numerous times) ever existed....and if we truly are soul mates, oh well...

Advice, please?
Has anyone else ever been in this situation or a similar one?

Hey JezJ. Sorry the person you thought you were going to be with forever is doubting God. But, even though many people say if your partner isn't a Christian you shouldn't get together. The way I see it though, this could just be a time where he's taking a break from God. I'd also suggest asking why He doesn't believe anymore. Maybe he has questions that he needs answered. Also, if he isn't a Christian I think he could really use you in his life. Show him God's love and try and find ways to soften his heart to Jesus. I mean, cause if he doesn't stay with you he may go to someone else that's not Christian and lose all connection to God.

Thank you so much!
That's exactly how I feel!
Most people have been telling me to let him go simply because he isn't Christian anymore. But since he was brought up as Christian, I'll keep quoting Proverbs 22:6.

Thanks again!

Off topic:
You're a guy, right? Has this ever happened to you?
It seems to happen to a lot of guys once they turn 17 or 18 or enter college. It's happened to my brother, his friends, now my friends, and even some celebrities. I'm not saying teenage girls don't doubt God at one point in their life, but I'm really starting to notice a pattern...everybody says that by age 20 or so they get back on track.

Yeah. It happened to me. In the summer of my Sophomore year in highschool I got started to get depressed and began to question God. I ended up getting into a lot things I shouldn't have, and eventually I decided I had enough and came back to Jesus.
I'll be praying for your boyfriend that he may come back to the faith out of His own choice. And for you that you will be able to show Him how much God loves Him.
Have a good Saturday!
