I’m 40 years old and have been praying for many years for God to put the right man in my life. Last August I started dating a man that was not my “type”. He was a sweetheart and a man of God. His faith in the Lord and his dedication to church was amazing. We quickly fell in “like” with each other and started an amazing friendship. In December I told him how much I loved him and that I would marry him if he asked me. There was no pressure I just wanted him to know that I was there. January came and we went away together for his birthday weekend. He popped the question and we were so happily engaged!
Three weeks ago he hit with me the news that he was not ready to get married on the date that we set. I was heartbroken but tried to be understanding. We continued down our path and had planned to start pre marriage counseling. Our first session of counseling was supposed to be this upcoming weekend. Tonight, he told me that he didn’t want to hurt me anymore and he didn’t know when he would be ready to get married. For all intents and purposes he broke our engagement and told me he was letting me go.
I’m crushed! I don’t believe this is happening to me because we prayed together and had God in the center of our relationship from the start.
Please pray that brighter days are ahead for me and for him.
I’m not yet convinced that it’s truly over. I may be in denial but I can’t imagine my life without him and his entire family.
Please pray for us together and separately.
Thank you!
