I MET HIM ONLINE

TGD RELATIONSHIP CORNER

Good day ladies. How are you doing? One of our sisters sent in a request online. Can we please counsel her and hopefully learn a few things? Feel free to tell her the truth but please show some sensitivity; she is hurting.

Hope all is well with you today. I just want to ask for a godly counsel from the group for an issue that has been  bothering me. I've been pissed off for the past few days; my ministry has been hindered. It weighs so heavily in my heart.

I met a guy on Facebook and we became good friends. We've been nice to each other. Then he proposed and said he likes me but in a few days he withdrew not to continue the relationship because God was telling him not to pursue his desires for me but to focus on God.

I accepted it that way and our friendship continued. I trusted him as a friend and I have been vulnerable with every detail of my life. We have been open with each other..I even invited him to be an admin on my Facebook page.

I discovered that he was just interested in adding women to his friends' list. I even read his post conversing with women as if flirting. I cautione­d him because its my personal page just to respect me but instead he said I got jealous of his women. He misunderstood me.

What makes me mad about him was that he sent a friend request to my ministry partner. He chatted with my lady friend and said bad, negative things about me - that I want him to marry him, that I am jealous of every woman he had. My friend was surprised about his accusations because as my friend and my constant companion, she knows me more than he does since I have never met him.

Because of my heated emotions, I burst out and called him up. That I cannot control..I blocked him on facebook right away.
