Here's the deal. My boyfriend broke up with me because he felt he need to focus more on God. I was fine with that, I thought it a very respectable reason. He said he wanted to be friends and maybe in the future God would bring us back together. He hasn't really been much of a friend to me. He said he wanted to talk just as much as we used to. He promises to call me at a certain time. Hours past that time he calls to tell me he is going to take a nap, or he has something else to do. The other day he told me i've been a jerk to him. I really don't know how. I've tried so hard to ask him, but he won't give me the time of day. I've had to go to other people with a problem that he should be willing to talk through with me. I don't know what to do. any advice? |

Move on and find someone more mature. He's jerking you around on a string, and that ain't right. Find someone who actually deserves your time of day!! |

He's not the type to use that as an excuse. We are both christians, we both read the bible daily, we both love God. What I don't understand is why we aren't the friends he said he wanted to be. |

Maybe it's good that you guys spend some time apart. It can be hard if you kept things going the way that they were, because then they're wouldn't have been a point of breaking up, which probubly would not result in spending mroe time with God. And also, talking right now could be a painful thing and a distraction, especially when you want to get close to God again, because the devil can use many tactics to distract a person from God. Even if it is a phone call. Understand? |

Mmm...maybe he''s just going through something right now and is shutting people out. I dont think its fair how he treated you...if he says hes trying to grow closer to God (and i agree, thats a very respectable reason), he should be embracing his Christian friends and not shunning them. |

It is good for us to spend time apart. We've always been apart though. He goes to school several states away, and comes back every couple of months for break. I want to focus on my relationship with God. I guess my thing was I wanted to do that together, even as friends. It's always nice to have someone to study and pray with. Someone who has as much faith as you and can help you through rough spots. |

I have to say, something like this happened to me about a months ago. Most people want to focus on God, and have a relationship, which is perfectly alright. But, most of the time, the relationship becomes more important to you than God does. Now, I'm not saying that your case was that way, but maybe he felt he was putting you before God. |
