Girlfriend broke up with me

by Bryan
(Pittsburgh)

I'm heartbroken and don't know where to turn. My girlfriend of 2 years told me that she was backing off all communication with me, "you obviously are waiting for me to change and it's not happening" she hasn't spoken to me in over a month. 6 months ago she told me that she did some soul searching and discovered that she has feelings more than just friendship with a guy that she has been friends with for 9 years. He has been telling her ever since her and I started dating, that his wife is filing for divorce and he needs to talk to her(my girlfriend). So when he needed to talk to her it was no problem for him to show up at her place. It started to feel to me that something was going on. She kept telling me there wasn't. I believe her, she has never lied before. A month ago he started up again with "I need to talk", the next day she told me she wants to separate. He has been to her place more in the last two weeks than I have in the past two months. She won't talk to me, respond to any attempt at communicating. I found out through court records, his wife never filed for divorce. He has been lying all along. Because he wants to be with my girlfriend in a sexual way. I've been asking God to help me through this, but I don't know if I'm asking the right way. I'm lost, I'm depressed, I'm not the happy guy I was before and I'm making everyone around me miserable. I need guidance...please help!

Re: girlfriend broke up w me

Thank you Karen. I never wanted to be the " captain of the world", but I understand the meaning. I am not ready to walk away from her completely, but I am trying my best to give her the time and space that she needs, to work on things that she needs to get done. I told her before, that I am not going anywhere, unless it is with her. I don't want to walk in front of her or behind her. I want to walk beside her!

She is worth waiting for, we met when neither of us were looking. I told her there was a reason why we met when we did. She was in a marriage, that left her with many walls up and cautious of letting anyone get close to her heart. I got closer than anyone and I think it's scaring her a little. I guess she thinks this is how the ex husband started out and look how that ended. I keep telling her, that I'm never gonna leave you or stop loving you! No matter what adversity is thrown in front of us. I just want to be there for her and help in any way possible to let her know that she is the one and only fir me.

I must tell you I'm not a young guy. I'm 40 and she is a few years older.

Most difficult thing you'll ever do
by: Karen

Hi Bryan,

Wouldn't it be great if each of us could be "captain of the world" for everybody in our lives? We could make them do exactly what we think they should do and act the way we think they should act.

But oh Bryan, it just ain't so. You can't control how your girlfriend acts, what she says or what she does. You can't make her come back to you.

So my advice is to do the hardest thing you'll probably ever have to do.....walk away. I know it hurts, Bryan. I know it feels like your guts are being ripped out.

But Bryan, just know that God has an amazing plan for you and your life. He has someone picked out for you that is truly meant for you. And Bryan, God wants you to be happy MORE than you do. Can you even wrap your head around a God who loves you that much?

Bryan, finding out what you should do next or where to turn means you turn to God and His word. Read about how much He loves you. Read about some of the other guys in the Bible that faced really tough times and how God showed up to help them through when they really trusted Him.

Sometimes you don't get to know God until you feel like all you have left is you and GOD. That's when you really find out just how awesome He is. When you submit yourself and tell God that even though you wish things were different with your girlfriend, you're willing to move on with God, no matter where it leads and no matter how hard it is.

Bryan, that's when you'll see your life change. Trust me, I've seen it happen many times.

In the meantime, surround yourself with positive, life affirming people. Focus on filling up your time with activities that can make a difference to somebody else.

You'll find that things will get better. I promise. :)

Many blessings,

Karen
