In need of prayer! (priest, hell, bless, catholic, God)

[SK2005]

If you don't know who I am, I'm Susan, 17yrs old, and live in Idaho. I am a very active Catholic but I really need some prayers. My boyfriend of a year and a couple months and I had a very good relationship, we were made for each other. Lately we haven't been getting along as well as we should. We kind of decided that maybe we're the right people at the wrong time. It makes sense considering we are both seniors in high school and we found the love of our life. Last night he told me that he didn't want to be with me anymore. But he didn't say I don't want to be with you forever, and that is what is keeping me going. His reasoning was that I and my problems are making him miserable. Luckily I am very good friends with our priest and I have someone who can help me. But I don't know if that is going to be enough. Everything isn't final yet, but I was wondering if some of you could keep me and us in your prayers and thoughts. Thank you.

You will be in my prayers...please keep in mind though that what we want isn't always what God wants for us and He may have something else in mind for you...don't get discouraged if the two of you don't get back together for a while or at all...perhaps God sees something down the road for you that you just don't see right now. God will do what's best for you. I'm sure you know that God sees the big picture and we only see life in frames of that picture...trust God and He will lead you where you need to be in your life.

You are in my prayers and thoughts.

This reminds me of a boy cousin of mine. He was about 17 or 18 and had been going with a girl for a while. As some boys will do he felt the urge to date other girls. So, he told her he thought they should date other people for a while. She did date others and found someone else permanently. It took him months to get over this loss and the mistake that he made.

Hello Susan, my name is Martha. I am sorry that you are having problems at this point in your life with your relationship.

You said something that struck me. You said he told you that " You and your problems are making him miserable." That statement tells me that you must want to tell him everything that has gone on, that is going on at the moment, or that might happen in future. Of course we want to share our feelings with the one we love. I mean, who better than our boyfriend or girlfriend to listen to us, right? Well, Susan, apparently your sharing is a little too much for him. Consider what kind of things you talk about with him? Are they always on a positive note or a negative note? Sometimes we lay miserable things upon the souls of our loved ones, what else can we expect but their saddness and misery. Think about it, if you are having a wonderful day and someone comes along and tells you something sad or something in anger, doesn't that set the tone for the rest of your day?

Try to think about your day to day existance with your boyfriend. I am sure you are in love so, share things that are uplifting to you both. If unpleasant things have happened that day, put them behind you and let them go. That moment in time is finished, it is done, let it go. No need to rehash them over again in your mind and no need to lay this on your boyfriend. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the misery of life that we forget to see the joy. Try to focus on the good things and the joyful or funny things that happened in your day. Perhaps this change of the way you share with him will allow him to see you in a different way. Maybe in the beginning, he was the only one who listened to you, the only one who understood. Now he has a relationship with you and probably wants you both to put all of that behind you. Perhaps now he wants only to focus on your being together. Think these things over that I have told you. I am not necessarily right, but then again I do not know all of the facts regarding your relationship.

I will pray for you both, that you find common ground to share things with each other.

Martha

Thanks anything will help now.
For a couple days I have been frustrated, mad, sad, upset, happy, and probably 20 other emotions but I'm slowly recovering. Thanks for everyone's help!
