She had been struggling with this for a while and before Christmas we had a really good talk about how her friend decided to move in with her BF in NY and they had only known eachother for 3 weeks! She was saying she didn’t think it was agood idea, because she hadn’t realized how hard it was, and I mentioned about how studies showed that cohabitating reletionships usually end anyhow. She asked which study so later I sent her the CDC study on cohabitation. She decided at Christmas (and told her mother) that if she didn’t get a ring at Christmas she would move out. She didn’t, so in January she siad she would move out by Feb 1st! And she DID! This is a girl who waffles on decision making, so I was really proud of her.
She wanted to stay together, to make it work and continue seeing him and perhaps he would realize how much he really loved her and propose, but he decided that by moving out she wanted out of the relationship. He couldn’t understand the idea of preparing for marriage. So they broke up. She was sad, but I think she finally realized that this guy had a very different thought process than us, He didn’t really believe in marriage-- how can you try to marry a guy like that!
And yes, I think God did this in his time, in the time she needed to learn the lesson, and she is safe and a better more mature person because of it. Prayers certainly did help!
