He Told Me...

It really sounds like you have a good man. I suggest taking it slow. Also be honest with you rman and tell him about your concerns. explain that you care about him to but are afraid of getting hurt again. trust me it will help alot getting it out in the open and talking about it. Plus, it will mean you to have great communitaction.

You are doing the right thing, Springlady, taking it to G♥d and see what He says.. Though from what you say, sounds like your prayers have already been answered. And remember, G♥d never goes to the past, that is what the enemy will do, focus on your future..:) Blessings..

I know how you feel about being in bad relationships and being leary of letting your heart open up to another. I however said the only way I will ever marry again is if it's truely God's will. It sounds to me like God may have put this wonderful man in your path for a reason - possibly God doesn't want you to be alone the rest of your life. He sounds like a wonderful man who loves you dearly and I am guessing he would understand if you told him your feelings/concerns - I say give him a chance :) and hey if you decide not to how about sending him my way - I would so love to meet a man like you discribe your boyfriend :)

Never let the hurt of the past rob you of a beautiful future. You may want to take your time, but still, continue to move forward. We should never close our hearts to the possibility of true love. It is always worth the risk.

Hey, Spring. I think that is wonderful problem to have. As Christians there is no greater thing than love. The opportunity that you have been given. I am reminded of a verse in Joel. It speaks about those who stay true to God. It says "I will repay you for the years the locust have eaten, the great locust and the young locust, the other locust and the locust swarm....You will have plenty to eat, until you are full..." Joel 2:25-26 Now what is funny is that the exact interpretaion of the word locust is not clear. I believe the reason for this is because God is not speaking about an insect, but rather an enemy of all things that are good. You say you were in a marrage that was not good at all. Almost like something was taken away from you. You lost something precious to you and have felt like you can't ever get it back. That is the locust. But you see God's promise is that HE will restore all those things lost and taken by the "locust" until you have so much that you are full. I am not telling you what to do, all I am saying is that God very well may be bringing his promise to you through this man. A chance to get back what was stolen from you, a happy and wonderful relationship, until you are full. "Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other." Joel 2:27

Well hun. I can't tell you NOt to guard your heart after already going through one unsuccessful marriage. However, this man is not your ex-husband. You can be nervous if you like, but that would be suggesting some mistrust towards your boyfriend. If you think he can be trusted, then there is no needto be nervous/worried. Especially if God is as good as you say he is, and he is :].

hello there lady:) I have been here..done that and wrote a few books lol lol..so i know exaclty where u are coming from..I havent been married but have been in the most horrible relationships..and was engaged for 7 years..and that didint work..and among other really bad ones..and until last November..i quit on men..and then i started dating Bobby..whom i have known for some time..and then christmas he proposed..and i said yes..but i dont want to get married for a couple years..im scared as well..but i wil tell you..he sounds just like your hunny..he has done so much for us..me and my son Sky thats 5..Skylar has never had a father in his life..and all the men i hgave dated..he hated and with bobby..he has been calling him dad or daddy..and he loves him with all his heart..and bobby treats him like his own as well..and when i was dying in the hospital with everything thats been goin on with me..he was there for me every chance he had and took care of my son..i dont know what i would do without him..i know i dont tell him enough how i feel..maybe cause i have with every one else i have dated and they took advantage of me..and things went to hell..and maybe im afraid to lose what i have ....i really dont know..im afraid thats all i know..but i know hes the one..and i ask God every night to help me go threw this so i dont lose him and help myself threw this so i dont screw anything up..soo i guess i can just say this..continue asking for guidance..he hears us and is here for us..and i know in my heart you have found your true love as i found mine..we just need to deal with our own baggage and issues before we can go any further..well thats what im trying to do..and i wish u the very best luck in your relationship and happiness..God Bless..April

your right, just pray that god will guide you thru all your way. hope he will get better. take my friend & wish you all the best.

it si nice of him. its the case that he is truly in live with you. As you have got a not so beautiful past, you feel like this.I think you can take your time and think whether you can live youir life with him. Put the past to rest and find happiness in you.

I think that your boyfriend think that you are perfect for him, he would do anything for you and he's happy with you, but the questions is do you also do the same thing for him and felt the same way as your boyfriend is feeling for you? But anyway if i am in your place i think that i would easily fall in love with the kind of boyfriend that you have. If you promised to yourself that you won't marry again then you should not have a boyfriend because this will lead the next level which is marriage. While there is life there is hope, and what im trying to say is that there is hope for you to have a good marriage just trust in God and He'll take care of you. Pray and ask guidance between you and your boyfriend.

Sounds like God's giving you a second chance at love! Congrats! He sounds like a keeper!

give him a change,and the same change to you.

To be honest, after I got separated from my husband, I met men that were so nice at the beginning, I had no doubt, or if I had, there was nothing how to explain why they won't tell the truth about their feelings. Later on, most of them became dominat and started to check on me, thing that walked on my nerves. When I meet someone dominant I realize that being lonely is not a bad thing at all.

don't close your heart....don't stop yourself from falling in love, maybe its God's plan for you....

We can never really say when we are going to find true love, i guess when our hearts find it, it will know. You have been in a bad relationship before and because of this, you are being careful now - which is good. I hope you give this man a chance who obviously loves you dearly. Show him how much he means to you too and this will help him fight his sickness. We sometimes fight for our lives to be with our loved ones. :) I am happy that you are in a way happy too... Blessed Be.

Springlady, I hope things are still going well with you in this relationship and I wish you all the best.

My word may not be as good as Gods, but I am still SOOO happy for you! It sounds like he is quite smitten with you, so he must be a good judge of character. And it looks like you may be a bit... bashfull? *smile* I think that is adorable! You and I rarely agree on most things, but I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart - this was the single best discussion I have seen on MyLot all week. I am so happy for you! I am also very excited for you... love is a rollercoaster, so make sure to hold on tight. You made my night. Thank you so much for shareing this, you made me smile :) I wish you all the best Matt

You are doing the right thing by seeking God's guidance. I've only been married once, but I have been in several bad long term relationships since my divorce. Currently I am happily single. It will remain this way unless God has a different plan than that. Yes, God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Hi wonderful spring lady! You are so sweet, I mean, your words,, but i think you must be so beautiful, so please dear, make sure that guy is handsome and wonderful as you are.

Oh, he is so sweet! As they say, "When a door closes, a window opens." Maybe he is the right man for you.
