Hello everyone! At the end of this past summer, I ended a 3 year relationship that was not Godly and not healthy in many ways. When I came out of it I really struggled with my mental health and self worth as a result. A couple of months later, I began to go out with a man I had gone to high school with. He is a wonderful person, a strong Catholic, and has a lot of qualities that I would look for in a husband. When we started dating I was a little bit hesitant because it was so soon after my last relationship, but I felt like God had put him in my life for a reason, and I didn’t want to just shut it down. We’ve been dating for about 5 months now, and I still think that he is one of the most Godly and good people I have known, but I am struggling with a lot of doubts and often would prefer to just be alone and sort myself out. I feel that I may have rushed into a relationship too soon. I am struggling with the idea of ending the relationship, because I end up wondering if I just haven’t tried hard enough. At the same time, he deserves for someone to be giving him their 100%, as he is giving me, and I don’t always feel that I can do that. I just don’t know if I should stay and continue to give it time and see if I feel better, or if I should walk away and spend a long period of time alone to ground myself. Any thoughts or advice would be incredibly appreciated! For context, I am 23 years old.
