My ex and I recently broke up. We dated for over a year. We are both Christians and we started out great. We both wanted to get married someday. We stumbled when temptation arose and things just haven't been the same since. Many problems arose from our mistakes and overwhelmed us. We stopped though but things haven't been good since. We broke up last week and I still love her and want to marry her someday.We still talk, kiss, hold hands and act like we are dating but she says we are not boyfriend/ girlfriend. I'm confused and hurting.<p>[This message has been edited by Christopher T (edited December 05, 1999).]

I assume when you say "temptation arose" you mean pre-marital sex??? If that's the case, both my husband and I are also Christians, and we lived together for 1 year prior to marriage. It went against my personal convictions, and we were married as soon as my divorce was final. I don't see why this has to end your relationship if you two love each other. I hope you can work it out with your girlfriend and find out why she is saying that you two are no longer "boyfriend and girlfriend". I wonder if she's really feeling guilty or something. <P>I'm certainly no expert, but I just wanted you to know that I care and am praying for you and I pray that everything works out for you and her. <P>hugs,<BR>tyrus<P>------------------<BR>tyrus<BR>

Your ex-girlfriend too still has feelings for you but is probably confused about making any type of commitment to you. By saying you're not "really" boyfriend and girlfriend, she is protecting herself from any liability and hurt. Try not to be demanding about commitment right now, or you may push her further away. Give her the space she needs until she is sure of what she wants. However, if after a while you are still in a state of limbo, you need to be upfront about you need in order to feel secure. Best wishes to you.
