Christian Love?

    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?

    My advice is to move on. He probably just used that excuse to break up with you, unless he's like totally like into religion like praying every minute. But the fact that he isn't calling when he says he will is just plain immature.

    Move on, find someone better.

    Christians don't pray every minute.

    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?

    Consider it a blessing to have found a guy so deep in his faith who craves a more intimate relationship with God. If you guys are meant to be together in the future, then this will definately benefit it. But for now, why don't you try focusing on your relationship with God as well? :)

    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.
    So i think that you should just put this whole thing with him on a back burner. Eventually with time, he'll realize what hes supposed to be doing, if that includes you, then awesome. Dont wait around for him, as he may not be ready for your friendship yet. Instead, try to find some other good Christian (or not) friends that you can talk to, and just be open to when he's ready to resurface again

    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.

    ^for once, I agree with someone of very low intelligence.

    Gosh, imagine what that makes you.
    Then again, I'm not certain.

    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.

    I know what it's like to have to let someone go for a while for God. To this day I still pray if me and that guy will be together in the end. And I just say "Lord, let your will be done, not mine. I want what you want, even if it means us just being friends." And so on. Just pray that the Lord our God will show you the way to what "He" wants. And follow that. It's worked for me, and I promise, prayers will work for you. I'll pray for ya.
    God Bless
