I’m a Christian and I don’t believe in dating or marrying someone of a different faith. I’m not saying your boyfriend will never become a Christian, but he would need to be seriously searching for Jesus for me to consider him. I know it’s hard to pray when we’re afraid we won’t like God’s answer, but I believe you should pray. Even if God’s answer isn’t what you want it to be, I know you’ll be much happier following His will rather than your own. He has your best interest at heart and you can be certain that no matter what His answer is, it will be given with love❤️
See the thing was I prayed to have god take my bf out of my life if he wasn’t the one at the moment like a month ago and we broke up and then I asked for us to get back together and then did same thing Bc we were having hard time and then a week later I asked to get back together and we did but now we’ve been the happiest we’ve ever been and he now is waiting for me to have sex and he prays with me and helps me connect with god when he didnt b4
I noticed people are giving advice here that has nothing to do with ocd! The point is NOT to say wheather one should date a christian or not! You need to ask yourself what YOU believe about God when your OCD is NOT present. Sometimes OCD creates a false God for us that is only in our head, that we dont really believe in. We need to remind ourselves what we truly believe and not make major decitions while having a hard time with ocd.
So Ik we have free will but like why would god put him back into my life if it isn’t for a reason
I think if you can’t accept his beliefs, you should break up. It’s great that he supports yours, and he deserves the same in return.
Anyone here a Christian and dealing with ROCD? I’m in a really great relationship with my boyfriend who is a Christian like myself. We both have our own solid relationship with God. However, every time I pray specifically about my relationship (and have for 4 years) I feel like God gives me affirmations or feelings soon after that conclude with my boyfriend just not being the person God has for me and I know God loves me and wants the best for me no matter what. Every time I pray about this, the ROCD comes in, like, “God has more for you”, “God has someone better for you”, “Am I disobeying and disappointing God if I stay in this relationship?” “Am I missing out on someone more fulfilling that God may have for me?” You get the point. After that part of the process, I beat myself up in guilt both for my boyfriend and thinking that I’m not listening to what God wants for me and I’m just holding onto something that’s good but I could have better. Then I just stop praying about that question and feel like I avoid God. And lastly, inevitably, I feel numb around my boyfriend because I’m exhausted from the whole process and I live in a feeling of settlement even though I do love him. My boyfriend believes that God has put me in his life and that God has grown him so much in part for me and because of our relationship. He is amazing, and I agree slightly, but that just leads me to more questions. Why don’t I feel that was too or why don’t I feel love for him the way I should If God out us together? Sorry if this triggers anyone. I have just been dealing with this for 4 years and have never actually typed it out this way. Any comments, advice or anything is welcome
Every time I prayed for “clarity” somebody other than my boyfriend would pop up. What does that mean. Even tho I want him 😭😭😭
After having a religious conversation with my mom I’m feeling quite triggered. She means well, it’s just I’ve avoided going to church ever since getting serious with my bf because every time I go I get this pit in my stomach and this horrible feeling that God is telling me to leave my relationship. But I don’t want to leave my relationship. So I can’t go to church, read the Bible or anything because it triggers this intense reaction and I end up believing I have to leave even though I love my boyfriend and really don’t want to. is anyone else struggling with this? And at the same time, I have so much guilt and feel so scared that I’m going to die because I haven’t been living a Catholic lifestyle and am afraid to die and go to hell. I don’t know but I’m so sad and lost:(
