well....Nik and I have broken up. well...it's more like I broke up with Nik...but not really really. Ok..let me start from the beginning. A few nights ago....God brought some things to my attention about our relationship that I had buried awhile ago. Basically they were thoughts ignoring the fact that Nik probably wanted a girl who was very much into outdoors *hiking, camping, etc.*...and unfortunately..I am not like that. Camping has never been my thing....I only enjoy hiking in a forest....but not camping in one. and awhile ago....he mentioned how he wanted soemone who could share his passion of camping with him. I know I'm not that girl....so....I told him last night about the things he said...and what God revealed to me. It hurt...it really hurt. And tonight we made the decision to just step back and be good friends. We still love each other....but....we realize that it's unfortunately a compatibility issue. I do love him...and that's why I am doing this. I don;t want to get in the way of his passion at any time. Therefore, I had to let him go....
Nik is taking it really hard. I'm hurting too....but I;'ve had time to think it thorugh and talk to God, so I'm not hurting as much. We both need prayer for strength and comfort. Thank you.
If you have any questions...feel free to ask.....but keep in mind that I may not answer. I will acknowledge the question...just not answer it.

Wow, what a tough decision! I admire your strength for breaking up for the right reasons. I pray that all goes well, but since God has had a hand in this, I think it will.

Hey sweetie...
I just went through something along those lines about two weeks ago. I had been dating my boyfriend for four long years, and God laid it on my heart to let him go.
It's really hard, I agree. If you ever just want to talk, let me know, okay? You can PM me or YIM me at dragonshimmer81.
I will pray for you. It doesn't rain forever, I promise.

thanks dragonshimmer. I am actually at peace about the whole thing now because I've realized that God is still in control, and I had to follow what he told me to. Don't get me wrong....I cried and cried for a good long time. But, crying isn't gonna change things. We're both young *he's one year younger than me* I'm almost done with colelge *one more quarter till I get my AA degree* and he still has one more year of highschool. I've left Nik in God's wonderful, comfy hands. I hope this brings him closer to God. I know that God has a purpose for everything....and I trust Him.

It's always hard when you break up I know that when me and my x broke up I was in denile for about a month then I relized what had gone wrong and then i started to get over her but when theres a few years inbetween the two of you it just makes it harder.

I had to let go of my boyfriend last November. It was the toughest thing I had to do. I haven't talked to him, except online not too long ago, telling him I was ready to move on as though we never meant something special to each other. I don't hate him or anything, but things had to change. Our paths are different now, and I believe that's how God wants it to be.
I know it's hard. From my experience, believing it's over (temporarily, at the least) in your head is one thing, but making your heart agree is another. That's my reason for why dealing with a breakup is so tough.
I understand that you hurt in this sticky situation, but it's true you both made the right decision. You never know, but God just might bring you two back together. Maybe, maybe not. The important thing is to keep on living. You'll be all right. We're all here for you.

*hugs bakura_fan* I'm glad you went with what God wanted of you. ^_^; I guess I'm not in the right place to say this, but still, I'm proud of you. I had a somewhat similar experience, and it's hard, but in the end everyone's at peace, right? ^^

You show more than a little wisdom and maturity in your decision. I pray you both continue to be friends and find the someone God has planned for you.

As one who has never been in a relationship, I can't imagine what you're going through. But as a brother in Christ to a fellow sister, I can empathize a lot with you. You were very brave to do what you felt God was telling you to do. I'm also glad that you're continuing to go to God in this difficult time. May He give you the most assuring comfort and may He continue to give you the desires of you heart.

That was a very courageous decision you made. I hope you two stay good friends for a long time to come and find the one you're meant to be with.
