Hi,it's been a while since I last wrote on this site.I know quite a lot of you took the time to read my story about when I was 17 (now 18) and I met a Jehovah's Witness bloke who was 20 at the time (now 21).You can read my story if you want in my ''posts'' under my user name.We had a relationship and he told me a few months later that he is JW.I remember the last time I added to my story we had broken up our relationship and decided not to stay friends.Because I stopped writing on my page,after that, I didn't tell you that several days afterwards I felt I couldn't deal with the pain of not talking to each other anymore so we began texting and phoning each other again...and then met up in town.I thought I could move on but I obviously wasn't strong enough to do that.
I wanted us to be together so much and was really keen that we might still be able to work things out even though he chose to stay in his religion,so In the end I asked him if we could get back together and he said yes.We split up a few times though because this whole religion thing really got to me at times.I've been coming back to this website every few evenings to read people's thoughts and experience's...and found it helps to know others have been through similar things too.I know some other people have had more heartbreaking stories to tell on here but I feel my experience hurt me and It might help others that may be going through what I went through.
Over the past few weeks I think I realized that if my then-boyfriend and I stayed in our relationship,either way it wasn't going to be easy.I also felt that he had hurt me too many times,emotionaly.I hurt him too,as I was so frustrated,angry and upset at times that I said some things I didn't mean.A few weeks ago I asked him if we could just be good friends...he sounded rather hurt and upset but he said yes.That leads me to where we are now...just good friends.We still see each other,maybe not so often as we did when we were dating but it's nice that we can stay friends I suppose.I feel more happier now that we are just friends,don't get me wrong...I really wish things could have been different (eg if he wasn't a JW) but he is and I suppose that's in a way what makes him him.
I also want to say thank's ''concerned mama'' for the e-mail you sent me.I think I read one of your comments on another topic here the other day and you mentioned that your daughter had broken up with her boyfriend of 2 years or something?,I remember you told me about her and her b/f on the story I wrote.I'm sorry to hear they have split up,if they had.But in a way it might be a good thing don't you think.
Thanks everyone for all the advice and support you gave me...it really helped.
