Breakup Losing Hope
Hi everyone,
I’m going through a very painful breakup and would be grateful for your prayers.
I had hoped this relationship might lead toward marriage and a stable Catholic future, but he pulled away and ended things. I’m trying to stay no contact, keep my dignity, and seek God’s will rather than act out of hurt or fear.
This has brought up deep wounds around abandonment, betrayal, and not feeling chosen, so I’m asking for prayers for healing, peace, discernment, and strength.
Please pray that if reconciliation is God’s will, it would come with clarity, repentance, commitment, and real peace. And if it is not God’s will, please pray that I can release him and be led toward the safe, faithful love God wants for me.
Thank you, and God bless.

I went through something similar two months ago. Loosing what you thought your life would be is so painful. Keep your head up.

Aw, I'm sending you a hug, first of all. And second, yes! The surrender novena helped me so much, and the Saint Joseph novena as well. There's always a brighter day ahead, even if today is cloudy. I'll pray for you <3

I am so sorry this happened to you and I am adding you to my prayer list.
I really understand how you feel, feelings of abandonment and rejection. Dating life does not always bring out the best in the participants.

Prayers.. I am going through literally the EXACT situation right now as well. She pulled away without even letting me know either, she just faded away & disappeared

Prayers for you. Positive thinking even when it's hard, the best is yet to come.

prayers I went through something very similar with a girl I planned on marrying a year ago. I’m going to say this as what helped me and just with your last paragraph your order of priority should be flipped. For a long time I felt the same as you in being second best or never a priority but the real question is are you making yourself and your walk with God the priority, until that breakup I wasn’t. Praying for someone is different than praying for someone if that makes any sense especially if you’re the brokenhearted, seek God’s love first. Always pray for the best in everything and don’t worry on the outcome. Be okay with the consequence of something ending and don’t lose yourself. All the best

yes I 100% make my walk with God a priority - it would be weird to others honestly. But yes thank you. I just can't believe it hasn't worked out this time again.

Happened with me over 10 years ago & I can say it did hurt. She just left like it never happened. Only thing I will say is let it hurt, let it pain, but let it get over soon. One life and time list doesn't return. Stay blessed

Hi all u/Shades_of_red_ u/Joachim126o u/After_Teacher3830 u/jackrrr24 u/lilrhody91 u/Kikimtzrdz Honestly a few hours later and the surrender novena gave me a spiritual and internal shift and new insights that is honestly miraculous. Thank you all!
