good advice already, be sure and put GOD first and focus on HIM and allow HIM to show you HIS ways and the rest will fall into place. HE will show you what HE has for you and if it is the current boyfriend then GOD will show you, if it is someone different then it will be even more awesome than what you had, and if it is to be single awhile and focus on HIM, you will grow so much and be even more prepared for what HE has for you down the road! |

Roxy, I am so sorry for what you are going through. Hang in there, it will get better. Tim and I had a similar situation, and it was tough. I want to encourage you to seek God though. Your boyfriend is giving you a great opportunity to not be distracted by him and to totally focus on God. Yes it probably hurts right now, but if you take advantage of this time and look back on it, it'll be awesome. |

I for sure would stop the relationship and see where it goes. But to really do that you need to spend time in God's word when you would normally have been with him. And develop relationships with some solid girls that are following Jesus. |

And that's why you don't label with boyfriend girlfriend tag. I say be friends and hang out with other people. If and when you feel that you all were meant for each other then court or betroth yourselves to each other. Try not to go out on one on one dates cause they just open up too much temptation. As Sammattus said below, since you're not married you should be concentrated on getting closer to God. But I'll also interject and say that that should be the case when you do get married as well. God bless and good luck. |

It's hard to "downgrade" to being "just friends" after such a long relationship. If he doesn't think you should be dating, then the relationship needs to be over. Maybe down the road you resume a friendship, but it needs to happen naturally, not forced. |

Go ahead and be friends with him. Keep pursuing God on a personal level. Since you are not married, you should focus on your relationship with Jesus Christ. It might be good to test your love for Christ without your boyfriend's influence. To do this, you will need to commit yourself (heart, mind, soul, and strength) to God's care by trusting that He knows what is best for you. This will be hard. And you will have to remind yourself that God did not cause this because He does not want you to be happy. He does. And this might be the route that God knows you need to take to find happiness for life. Keep praying. |
