2 weeks ago today I had to break off a relationship that was over a year in the making. I think it had to be and I think it was what God wanted but that doesn't unbreak my heart. I was not in a serious relationship since my divorce years ago. I put it all on the line for this guy. I was in love with him. He said he was in love with me. So here I am. I love God and I know He loves me. I have three beautiful children (grown) and an extended family and friends most of whom are very supportive. But here I am. There isn't anyone to call in the middle of the night. There isn't anyone to pray with at bedtime. There isn't anyone to go out with. Here I am. God, I know you want what is best for me. But God? I've raised my kids. I did so as a divorced single mom since they were 7, 7 and 8. They have flown the nest and one is even engaged. I'm not jealous of that but God? When is it my turn?

fuloit you are so right. Control seems to be necessary in that list too. My brother and his wife both called him separately and left messages for him to call them. What did he do? Well, a lion always goes for the weakest gazelle in the herd. He called my mom to "tell her" that our counselor was still interested in seeing me. Mom asked if that was by myself or with him. He hemmed and hawed and Mom said to stop calling me. He seemed taken aback by that and said he thought he "had friends here." Mom said "Teri has moved on. You need to move on. We are backing her." Go Mom! She is usually so wishy-washy (I say that with love) but she really finally told him the way it was. I called my brother and told him. I think maybe it might be over.

My mind is telling me I should give it at least another month and maybe more before I seek another relationship. I'm old but I'm not going bad on the shelf. I have awhile until my expiration date!

Good for your mom, teri. For him to know you have a support group is one of the best things for you. Keep a watchful eye, but it sounds like he will fizzle out. As far as waiting a month or two .... I like what a lot of women on this site have in their profiles: Be so buried into Jesus that a man has to seek Him in order to find you. It could also be said like this: Do not seek someone that is living in church; instead seek someone that is living in prayer.



Godbless and keep you

I have sat here and read the posts that people have posted to here. The first thing I like to say is I thank God for the friends she has here.

I'm not even going to try to tell my side of this. This is not what this site is about.

My heart has been broken. My late wife did not do everything for me. She died in my arms from a heart attack. We were each other's family. What she could do. She did. What I could do. I did. If she could she would tell everyone that if she did not want to do something. She did not do it.

The main thing I want to say is that there is two sides to every story. I could say very terrible things. But I will not go that route.

Please pray for Teri. She needs prayer for her life..

I want to update this thread. Bill and I have tried very hard and we are seeing each other again. We are both very strong willed and my response to him was out of my mindset of being bullied by men. I read him wrong and he read me wrong. Bill is a nice guy. We just have some things that we see differently. Please pray for our continued relationship to be pleasing to God and pleasant for both of us.
